● For the 4’×4′ battlefields, we recommend 500 point patrol detachments, no auxiliary detachments, with 3 Command points
● The 8’×4′ battlefield is much more versatile. Fight it out with any single 1,000 point detachments. It will be the perfect army to show off your Lords of War units.

Freehold Memorial Day Parade
Hello Little League Families,
The Memorial Day Parade is coming this Monday, May 28th!
As is tradition, the Freehold Boro Little League will be marching in the parade. We hope you can walk in the parade with us, with the boys and girls of the League in uniform (no cleats, as it is easier and safer to walk in sneakers).
Tee-Ball players only can ride on the Little League float/trailer, and they may want to bring a towel on which to sit.
The Freehold Boro Little League will be lining up at the intersection of Brinkerhoff Avenue and Kiawah Avenue. Please arrive by 9:30 a.m. so we can organize the players.
Look forward to seeing everyone!
