July 29th was the latest edition of Battle on the Mississippi, 2017.3. Once again the Screaming Eagles were assembled to put on yet another Flames of War tournament. This time a bit of a send off, our last v3 based tournament.
We were super excited to be holding the event at a new location, D6 Games in Rochester Minnesota. Alas the submarine at Deaf Ear Records wasn’t available and the best part of being at D6 games is being involved with a gaming store that actually stocks the game, supports the game and has lots of space to play.
Our prize table once again deserves a call out to Chuck Hiner and his amazingly great trophies, D6 Games for the crazy good swag and donations from our community of players.
We did try one interesting experiment and setup one table to be streaming on Twitch. We didn’t have any announcers or really do anything special. I did post about it on the forums though throughout the day it didn’t seem like many viewed. O well, was easy to setup and something we’ll probably experiment more with in the future.
Table-wise we have an amble amount of options with 5 tables from various locals for Mid-war.
The desert table was a challenge and a might fun location to be playing on. Jacob and I faced each other, his tiger list was mighty mighty tough as I didn’t have much to be able to deal with them. Literally it came down to who was on the objective first.
Patrick and I squared off on this Russian themed table. His Russian horde played well. A bazillion KV-1s will sure roll over you.
Another Russian themed table…
A runed city scape.
Another sort of wide open spaces of Russia but with just enough terrain to keep it interesting and challenging.
