The Battle of Oak Grove, fought on June 25, 1862, was one of the early engagements of the Peninsula Campaign during the American Civil War. It took place in eastern Virginia, near Richmond, the capital of the Confederate States of America.

The Battle of Oak Grove began when elements of McClellan's army, commanded by General Samuel P. Heintzelman, moved forward to probe the Confederate defenses. Confederate General Robert E. Lee, who had taken command of the Confederate forces following the wounding of General Joseph E. Johnston at Seven Pines, had entrenched his army along the Williamsburg Road, forming a defensive line. The Union forces are trying to push through to capture the hilltops beyond, so they can shell Richmond.

Epic Pike & Shotte at its finest! We’ll loosely interpret the Battle at Dessau Bridge, nearly 400 years after the fact. In April 1626, Wallenstein inflicted a major wound on the Protestant cause by soundly defeating Mansfeld at Dessau Bridge.

This game will use the Tercios (Brevis Edition) ruleset, a free (fast and easy, too) abridgment of the Tercios Liber Militum rules - each player will receive a complimentary set of the rules to take home.

The Battle of Austerlitz, famously known as the "Battle of the Three Emperors," was a pivotal engagement during the Napoleonic Wars, fought on December 2, 1805, near Austerlitz in the Austrian Empire. In this epic clash, Napoleon Bonaparte's French forces faced off against the combined armies of the Austrian Empire and the Russian Empire, led by Emperor Alexander I.

Employing masterful tactics and exploiting the enemy's weaknesses, Napoleon executed a brilliant maneuver known as the "Double Envelopment," encircling and decisively defeating the larger Allied force. The battle showcased Napoleon's military genius and marked a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, solidifying French dominance in Europe for years to come.

Choose your side in this historic clash and see if you can change history. We will be using the La Grande Battles rules to fight this battle. Come join us for this great nightcap game to finish your day.
