OUR STORY
We know that many people enjoy historical military games, but we don't always have a chance to play them. Join us on October 4th, 2025 for a gaming conference.
FLEA MARKET RULES
We have a limited number of 2' diameter tables that are free. You may have the use of only one of them. According to the Fire, Marshall, absolutely nothing may be stored on the floor, including food coolers. If it won't fit on the table, it doesn't belong there. If you feel that you need more space, you may choose to allow someone else to use the 2' table and opt to rent a 5' round vendor's table for $40.00.
FOOD INFORMATION
The first sub comes with a bag of chips and a coke or diet coke for $10.00. Subway can't even touch this. The other pictures are of a nearby hotdog shop that will deliver at no extra cost. People are welcome to bring their own food and drinks. We will NOT for any reason store, refrigerate, or warm up anything that wasn't purchased from us. The hotdogs 🌭 will be delivered hot.

Flames of War: North Africa - Learn to Play
The desert of North Africa saw some of the most intense fighting of World War II. From Egypt to Tunisia, German, Italian, Commonwealth, and eventually US forces fought for control of the region.
Flames of War is a tactical miniatures game that allows players to recreate company sized battles. In the hypothetical situation presented here new players will get an opportunity to learn the basic rules of Flames of War. Each player will have control of a force one of the aforementioned mentioned antagonist. All rules will be used, but some things (like aircraft) will be omitted from the forces to keep things simpler. In addition, your two game masters will act as a sort of higher command level, one per side, to provide guidance, answer questions, and control an artillery battery for each side. (Again, simplifying the learning curve.)

Encounter at the Oasis
It's been a long and grueling march across the desert. Your company is in need of rest and more importantly fresh water. Heading to an oasis indicated on the maps, you hear the retort of a gun as you rumble along in your tank. As you get closer to your destination more gunfire can be heard. Apparently, the enemy has had the idea, and the battle for the oasis has begun.

Battle of Corral Sea May 1942.
The first battle ever to use only aircraft. American losses were one destroyer, one repair ship, one carrier, and another damaged but repaired in time for the Battle of Midway.
Japanese losses were one carrier sunk, another heavily damaged ,and unable to help at the Battle of Midway.
Results This stopped the invasion of Port Mosbey due to lack of air support.
I will use a 5' round table and need 4 players. I will run both sessions, and IF I can do it in time, another WWII land battle both sessions at the same time next to each other. I need 4-6 players.
