Strategy Saturday - Argyle Road Baptist Church - Saturday, Mar. 9, 2013

[Allan Luesink]

Hi everyone,

March is here and, man, has it come in like a lion.  Hopefully that means that it'll leave like a lamb. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I've talked about this in previous years, but I'll do a quick refresher: March is the month that armies would historically prepare for the new season of fighting.  The Romans actually named this month after their god of war, Mars.  So with that in mind, the theme for the Feature Game this month is a wargame.  The game will be 'Shogun'. It's also been released under the name of 'Samurai Swords' and 'Ikusa'.  Shogun is a sister game to Axis & Allies in that both belonged to the same family of games when they were originally released (Milton Bradley's Gamemaster series).

Of course other games will be played as well, not just military type games.

We'll be in the basement of Argyle Road Baptist Church (3510 Argyle Rd) from 7pm to midnight.  As usual we'll have our snack counter open so feel free to contribute a drink or something to munch on.  And feel free to bring along friends (and to forward this email).

Hope you'll be there,

Allan
(along with Michael and Barry)

PS - April 13 will be our next date.  I'd like to feature games that are expected to at the upcoming FragCon Gaming Convention (May 3-5).  If you're moderating a game at FragCon and would be willing to teach it (promote it) at Strategy Saturday, contact me and will make arrangements for you to take up the Feature Game slot.
