Turning Point Stalingrad
Period: WWII
Players: 4-6
Length: 4-6 hours
Presented by Grady West & the Northwest Arkansas HOGS

In September of 1942, General Friedrich Paulus unleashed the elite German 6th army against the Russian defenders of Stalingrad. Paulus hoped to take the city in a week, but the dogged Russian defense turned Stalingrad into a 4 month long meat grinder of a battle that is unparalleled in our time.

Turning Point Stalingrad is a miniatures version of the old Avalon Hill boardgame. The terrain board is 14ft. long x 6ft. wide, with around 400 buildings representing the city and outlying areas next to the Volga river. But don't let the size intimidate. The game is an area movement system, so no measuring tapes are necessary. Turns are divided into semi-simultaneous "impulses" with only a few units moving at a time. Advantages during day and night turns, that each side had historically, are reflected in this visually stunning, tactically challenging, yet easy playing game.Though the campaign can be played through late November, just the first week of the battle is played for convention purposes. Victory points are awarded to the Germans for taking Mamayev Kurgan and/or areas along the Volga river. After the first week, if the Germans have taken enough areas for the required amount of victory points, they win. If not, they lose.

Designed for 6 players, this visually stunning, tactically challenging, yet easy playing game, is brought to you
by the Northwest Arkansas HOGS, (Historically Oriented Gaming Society).

In WARMACHINE, the very earth shakes during fierce confrontations of Armageddon-like proportions. Six-ton constructs of tempered iron and steel slam into one another with the destructive force of a locomotive. Lead-spewing cannons chew through armor plating as easily as flesh. And a tempest of arcane magics sets the battlefield ablaze with such that the gods themselves fear to tread the tormented ground. Victory shall favor the bold! So bring it on—if you’ve got the metal.

WARMACHINE is a fast-paced and aggressive 30mm tabletop miniatures battle game set in the steam-powered fantasy world of the Iron Kingdoms. Players take on the role of elite soldier-sorcerers known as warcasters. Though warcasters are formidable combatants on their own, their true strength lies in their magical ability to control and coordinate mighty warjacks—massive steam-powered combat automatons that are the pinnacle of military might in the Iron Kingdoms. Players collect, assemble, and paint fantastically detailed models representing the varied warriors, machines, and creatures in their armies. This is steam-powered miniatures combat, and your tabletop will never be the same!

An engagement in 1715 at the height of the Jacobite rebellion in England and Scotland.

The battle ended so inconclusively that it was unclear which side had won. One side claimed "the red-coat lads wi' black cockades" routed the rebels, painting a fearful picture of how they managed to "hough the Clans like nine-pin kyles". The other side claimed the Jacobites "did pursue / The horsemen back to Forth, man" with the eventual result that "...mony a huntit, poor Red-coat / For fear amaist did swarf, man."
