2d Schleswig-Holstein War, Attack on the Danevirke 1864
We have survived the pandemic and AOE will sponsor two AOV Revolution 1848 games, one Friday evening, the other the next morning on the same table in the Carnage & Glory Room. The two contests will replicate an attack by the Austro-Prussian Federal German Army on the ancient Danish fortifications known as the Danevirke. But it never happened because the Danish army withdrew northward during the night, right under the noses of the Austro-Prussian army opposing it. But what if had happened as planned? Its another battle in the snow by two armies equally matched.

2d Schleswig-Holstein War, Attack on the Danevirke 1864
Age of Eagles - Age of Valor returns to HMGS with two sessions of a battle that almost happened, by just a few hours. This was a planned attack on the ancient Danish fortifications called the Danewirke, canceled only because the Danish army withdrew northward during the night, right under the noses of the Austro-Prussian army opposing it. But what if had happened as planned? Its another battle in the snow by two armies equally matched. More details once the PEL is released, but a Friday night and a Saturday morning game is planned in the C&G area.
Not to mention Fall In 19 and Cold Was 2020, COVID19 Edition. Sorry gang, but the Boss needs a break so no AOE series games are on tap. Instead we will host two games on the 1677 Pike and Shot battle of Cassel using the fun TWIGLET (Twilight of the Sun King) rules published by the Pike & Shot Society of which Colonel Bill is the Honorable Webflunky General. Yup, he gets around. The convention is still in Lancaster, PA, running 11 -14 July 2019, so drop by if you are in the neighborhood.
COLD WARS! Lancaster Host Resort, Lancaster, PA, 14 - 17 March 2019
Hungarian Revolution the Second, Temesvar
Our first Hungarian Revolution game had lots of great feedback, not to mention 3000 figures. So for Cold Wars we are going for a larger battle with even more troops on the table. Once again it's the Austro-Russians slugging it out with the Hungarian Insurrection Honved at Temesvar, the final big battle of the war. A playtest of our last Age of Valor digital expansion module for Age of Eagles (Napoleonic Fire & Fury). A large but fun battle with rockets exploding on their launch pads and all the Hungarian Hussars on the planet in attendance. Thick skins always a plus.
