CAV: Strike Operations
Dropping the Hammer! The Defense of New Memphis
When the Rach Empire crossed into Terran Federation territory and attacked several systems all along their shared border, the long-simmering resentment by the Rach of the armistice was let loose in a wave of death and destruction.
Led by the Fakk Tr’Khul (The Blood of Heros) Regiment, the Rach have landed on Algoab III (Uakhet) and begun their march to the planet’s capital city of New Memphis. Standing in their way is the planet's 1st Anubis Guards and the Terran mercenary unit, Sal's Slammers, defending the Karnak military complex at the Apep-Nut Starport. Unwilling to leave such a strong force to their rear, the Rach march to the attack!
Put on a game at BW22 and get one days admission comped. Two games, get the weekend!
if YOU want to put on a game, get the info in asap. We're not gonna pack everyone in like lemmings, and the hotel has less room in total for us than last time. So space is limited. And the hotel only has 6 foot tables, so if you MUST have 8 footers, you must give us advance notice.
FOOD!
The hotel restauarant is open after 5pm Friday & Saturday. And has a full bar.
There is a Taco Bell in the hotel parking lot. and two fancy gas stations (BP & Phillips 66) within a block, one of which has a Subway inside. There's also a Denny's a couple blocks north over the bridge across the highway.
If you drive, you can find any kind of food within about 5 miles. We heartily recommend Dixon's Chili Parlor and/or the Hi-Boy Drive-In, just north on Blue Ridge Cut-Off (the street the hotel is on).
