To host an event, board games, card games or miniatures, contact  Roland Fricke.  As a reminder, most of our board game GMs do not schedule their events. With an average monthly attendance of 35, there is plenty of activity for gamers.   Feel free to bring a copy of your favorite game or you are always welcome to play in one of ours. Due to the space and time commitments of miniatures, hosts of these events are encouraged to contact Roland to guarantee space and time availability.

Title: Running and Gunning in the Med

Host: John Demeter

Rules: General Quarters 3

 

Description:  The control of the Mediterranean was disputed between the Italian Regia Marina and the British Royal Navy, supported by ships of Empire navies and other allied navies. This was critical for the supply of the Italian and German forces in north Africa and for the maintenance of Malta as a British offensive base. Without Malta, Britain could not intercept Italian convoys and thus prevent the supply of Axis armies. At times, supply was so serious that warships were used as fast transports by both sides.

 

When Italy declared war in June 1940, it had one of the largest navies in the world but its strength was limited to the Mediterranean, whereas the British could replace most losses by redeploying ships. This led to caution on behalf of the Italian command and a tendency to avoid battle. 

 

Same scenario run in daylight then at night.  Action will be fast and dirty.  If interest is there and space is available we may to a expanded battle in the evening.
