Commands & Colors: Ancients depicts warfare from the Dawn of Military History (3000 BC) to the opening of the Dark Ages (400 AD).

The Battle of Dogger Bank (1/2) - Reign of Steel at Sea - 4 Players - Ed Jablonski
This WWI naval battle, was fought primarily (but not exclusively) between the rival Battlecruiser squadrons of the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet. Decoded intercepts of naval radio traffic had given the British advance knowledge of a powerful German raiding force, and so had dispatched appropriate (that is, fast) superior naval forces to intercept. On a clear day (with visibility being unusually good), at 07:05 the British found the enemy at the expected time and place, just off the English east coast, at the “Dogger Bank”. This was the very last thing, for both sides, that happened as expected! Scale: NA |

Ambush at Hearthstone Pass - What a Cowboy - 6 Players - Andy Bouffard
It is 1883 and the Atlantic & Pacific Railway is being built from Kingman to Topock, Arizona. It is destined to meet the Southern Pacific, from Daggett, via Needles, at a bridge over the Colorado River. It's completion, however, depends on getting the payroll through to its hard working construction crews. With said payroll aboard a dedicated stagecoach, escorted by Marshall Cussler and his men, it was only a matter of time before Bobby "The Face" Roberts, Stevie "Whiskey Man" Kasteel, and the other ner-do-wells of the Beer and Pretzel Gang made their move to steal what ain't theirs. This event is part of our "Rootbeer and Pretzels" series. Kids of ALL ages are welcome. Scale: 28mm |
