Scourge of War Boards

We would need to bring laptops....get into two different rooms and have a battle.

A cursory web search suggests that the last couple of weeks in October are best for fall color at Gettysburg (and Antietam too). How would targeting the extended weekend of 10/20 to 10/23/2017 work for folks?

Seems a bit late. A week earlier perhaps, but you can't please everyone in something like this. At that time of year, every min of daylight counts for something, and the later it is the less time you have to see things on the battlefield.

I am good with those dates

I played ~80 GCM games from 2010 to 2012, and I'd be interested in attending this, whatever weekend it's held, if I qualify...

Come by ts and chat it up with Palmer. I don't think anyone except Seal will be turned away.

Just a note from observing Gettysburg weather and temps this time of year i.e., potentially 1 year out from our gathering, the highs for most days run from the upper 60's to the mid 70's with maybe 35-40% of them sporting some chance of rain. Not too bad!

Yeah I've never been to The Burg this time of year, but the weather should be nice. I went in April one year though and walked Pickett's Charge in the snow!

Here's a website that lists the best places in Pennsylvania for fall colors. The excerpt about Gettysburg is set out below. My wife is especially excited about the horseback rides which are available from 1 to 4 hours...

Gettysburg National Military Park - Zone 3
Dutch Country Roads
Gettysburg National Military Park is a must-see for any fall excursion, providing the perfect scenic backdrop for visitors experiencing this historic battlefield. Explore the sights and sounds of battlefield reenactments, monuments, memorials and true history. Gettysburg offers guests a part of the nation’s past all year, but provides optimal trekking treasures in the fall.
Fall Foliage Insider’s Tip
Tour the battlefield on horseback for a unique look at the autumn trees with guided tours from Hickory Hollow Horse Farm in Gettysburg. Visitors can enjoy one to four-hour guided trail rides through the battlefield grounds complete with knowledgeable guides to point out little-known facts and tucked away scenic spots that can only be found on horseback.

Just FYI, have booked air travel for Gettysburg in October. My wife and I are flying Denver to Dulles and driving to Gettysburg Friday, 10/20 (arriving late afternoon). We'll likely spend Friday night, Saturday and most of Sunday in G-burg, then drive to Antietam Sunday eve. Will check out Antietam all day Monday and Tuesday a.m. then catch a flight home from Dulles on Tuesday 10/24 around 5:30 pm.
