Armistice Day Championship Preview 

This one is for all the marbles! The Indy Squadron's most prestigious event will be held for the 32nd consecutive year on the first Saturday in November. The winner receives a very special edition of the squadron's most coveted prize, the Victory Medal. Every Victory Medal is a gold medal hung on a red ribbon, and this year's version is a re-purposed award from a rifle shooting competition in 1947. There will only ever be one such award and it goes to the 2020 Indy Squadron champion! 

We will return to our Lewisville, Indiana venue for this year's Indy Squadron Armistice Day Fits Championship. A short warm-up game will begin at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 7, 2020. Please expect an early end to this game. It is merely a warm-up. We would like to have dice rolling for the first turn of the tournament by 1:00-1:30 pm. Here is the full data:

​New Venue for Indy Gaming, October 10 Gaming Report 

The Indy Squadron has a wonderful new venue for gaming at a private residence in Lewisville, Indiana. The town represents a nice halfway point between the players in the Indianapolis area and those in the eastern part of the state. The venue is an open, double garage with climate control, refrigerator and a table that can easily accommodate 10 or more players. There is also a secondary room attached with recliners and a pool table nearby for those who inadvertently exit the game early. 

The Indy Squadron held five games on October 10, 2020 in Lewisville with five players present (Stephen, Rick, Ethan, Dory, Michael). Nearly every player scored a victory at some point in the day. Missions included North Sea assignments as well as SE 5a's, SPAD VII's, Fokker Triplanes, a rare balloon victory by a SPAD XI crew, another balloon victory to Ethan's SPAD pilot and an appearance by Italian ace Sgt. Melchoire Giovanni (Stephen, 20/12). 

It was great to see Michael return to the gaming table, and for Dory to be able to spend an entire gaming day with the squadron. A photo journal of the day is below courtesy of Nelson Skinner photography.
