TCASL 5/14/22-- NEW GUINEA

[Uncle_Duke]

Greetings all,

It's that time of the month again! You know... that one weekend where we get together and play some ASL. The weather's looking a bit dodgy at the moment (chance of thunderstorms), so we might not even have nice weather as an excuse.

Anyway, we're back at Gamezenter this weekend. I hope to see you all there!

Details:
Day: 5/14/22
Time: 10:00am - Whenever
Location: Gamezenter [Formerly Fantasy Flight Games Center], 1975 County Road B2 W, Roseville, MN, 55113

Masks-- Highly recommended, COVID numbers are on the rise again....


The New Guinea campaign doesn't get a lot of love, with only a handful of scenarios set during the campaign. There are some classics though, and some recent goodies as well:

Uh... Mark? Today's the 19th.... The meetup was awesome, but it was five days ago.

Oops. Time-keeping. It's so hard.

Oops. Time-keeping. It's so hard.

We've all been there.

COVID permitting, the next meetup will be June 11. I'm otherwise committed, so I won't be attending, but I'll make sure to put something together.
