About this Event
Join the Calgary Highlanders Regimental Museum & Archive for a public wargaming session at The Military Museums on Crowchild Trail. Presenting a moment in WWII history in a novel and interesting way, while open the doors of wargaming to new communities and people with interest, but perhaps not expertise.
The evening aims to be a fun and dynamic discussion of Canadian World War II history and tactics, specifically focussed on the Calgary Highlanders who participated in the battle of Normandy directly following D-Day.
The scenario unfolds in turns: commanders are given a brief window to discuss together and issue orders, then we allow the simulation to run for 1 minute of real time action, followed by a review of the battlefield and key events. Then updates to orders become available and the process begins again.
Community Commanded Combat Mission sessions remove technical barriers by introducing a games master who handles the administration of the simulation. Instead of being responsible for technical commands for dozens of units, players are instead given a single unit to command and coordinate a mission together providing verbal orders and feedback.
All are welcome to watch the battle unfold, join in the discussion, or take responsability for command of a unit in action.
Can the community commanders secure the bridge over Faire Bissone, and open up a passage toward the liberation of France and Holland? Help us complete the task!
