Jackson Gamers' schedule of games for 2011

Our theme this year

Horse and Musket

Please scroll down to see all months.

This year we have an overall theme of Horse and Musket. Games should be set in that great period after the pike gave way to the socket bayonet, and which ended with the adoption of the magazine rifle.

However, as usual, the Jackson Gamers reserve the right to play any game that strikes us as fun! Even when it has no relation to our theme year at all!

In months that have five weekends, we will game on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays instead of just the 1st and 3rd.

Please realize that while this is our best attempt at a definative listing, changes will certainly be made to this schedule of games. This should be considered as tentative until we actually start rolling the dice for the game!
