Hello All,
I am on the road this week and I have the great pleasure to bring a battle report from the Ozarks in Southern Missouri. I did not manage to take many pictures, nor did I gather a great deal of information about the individual orders of battle on the board tonight. Fortunately I did have the pleasure of meeting a great group of guys who call themselves the Mozarks Historical Gaming Society.
About a week ago I just happened to be perusing the Flames of War website while at the same time preparing for my current trip, and noticed that a St. Valentines mega battle was being planned along my trip route. Nestled right in a time and on a day that I could attend I decided to make contact with this Springfield based group through their Facebook page.

Not only is this group involved in Flames of War, they are also involved in some other historical game systems. Feel free to contact them to find out about the other Eras they are involved in!
TO THE MATCH!!
So the battle sized up nicely. It turned out being a 6v5 match. To the best of my knowledge there were 4 American Companies, a Russian Company, and a British Company vs. 5 German Companies.
The table was laid out beautifully with several small hamlets spread out along a country road. The Battle was effectively split into two sectors by a giant River in the middle of the board.
This photo is blurry, but shows the entire layout of the board.
(I am not practiced with the panorama photo feature on my camera yet!)
