    Barracks Battles 2009
    May 15, 16, and 17, 2009


    Click HERE to read a report on Barracks Battles 2008 by Dave McNair of Avalanche Press.


    Barracks Battles is a three-day, all-day gaming event, which will was held this year at the St. Louis Mills Mall. There were games (of course!), and a raffle - lots of great prizes this year. 2009's theme was "Phyrric Victories Throughout History" -- battles in which victory came at an incredibly high cost in lives and equipment (such as the Battle of Bunker Hill (Revolutionary War) or the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands (WWII)).
