Cold Wars PEL is up!

The Preliminary Event Listing (PEL) for Cold Wars is officially up at http://www.coldwars.org/ . With only a cursory glance I didn't see anything too exciting, so I will mention the GW games:

• F-151 - Gnome Wars: The Village of Zermatt
  Fri. 7:00 PM, 4 hrs, 8 players
  GM: Jim Stanton
  In the shadow of the Matterhorn a small garrison of Swiss is defending a key point on the Haute Route, the village of Zermatt. If Zermatt falls the Germans will will be able to use the Haute Route to cross the Alps into France.

After a few events with a German defensive position (that I've played in at least), it may be nice to break out Der FleiderAffes and prove their offensive mettle.

• S-152 - Gnome Wars: Champex Pass
  Sat. 2:00 PM, 4 hrs, 7 players
  GM: Jim Stanton
  Champex is a small village along the The Haute Route where the French and Swiss must stop the German advance. Hopefully the gunfire and artillery blasts don't trigger an avalanche.
  

Simply put, probably a similar board, but with avalanche rules and dare I say the first appearance of French units in a con game? Intriguing

• S-153 - Gnome Wars: The Race
  Sat. 8:00 PM, 4 hrs, 6 players
  GM: Jim Stanton
  Get to the line and try to survive two laps around the track. Preregistration tickets get into first race, will run more races as time allows.

An expansion on The Joust, lets just hope they don't violate any of the commonwealths laws this year.

Cold Wars has been expanded to Thurs-Sun March 11, 2010. Anyone interested in making a two-day trip, let me know. If I get interest, we'll go down Friday morning, get a room for Saturday and go home Saturday night. Gnome games are not required to be in the caravan o' fun. Twelve hour Age of Sail games are discouraged.
