I'm going to be running my Battle of Kursk game that I did at Historicon a number of years ago.

It's a 6 player game.
The game will be Nov 20th starting around 6:30 p.m. at Relentless Dragon, Nashua, NH. I making a list of players and I think I have at least one or two open slots.

The boards were easy to make (and are the 1"=100 yards scale). They are 2'x2' plywood with pink foam board hills. The hills are screwed in rather than glued (helps avoid warping). The top is felt that is glued down to everything under it and the roads/rivers/towns are just painted on. It's setup so that the rivers and roads line up on all sides so the boards go in any order.
For the OOB, it's setup as a large beginner game.

This went fairly well. I ran the game with 4 new players. As usual with the GHQ rules it only took a few turns for the players to "get it". I however made a few mistakes since I hadn't played the rules in quite some time.
On the plus side, everyone liked the rules and we will be playing it more often.
