I’m still thinking of _Inglorious Basterds_. I think if you grabbily describe the knaves in the title, the action is a given.

CAROLINA TRAITORS
MARCH OF THE TURNCOATS

oh hell I don’t know. Damn Tarantino stole our title.

I think I’m guided by the brilliantly titled and generally transcendent book WISCONSIN DEATH TRIP.

Hmm … I see what you are saying. My impulse is to go with something punchy and sensational that promises fun for the player, rather than something serious and historical-sounding. Ideally both of course – back to fiends and hyenas. Thanks for thinking about this, it is helpful.

It may be better as a subhed under the right thing. (But please, please not under CAROLINA DEATH CRAWL.)

The only thing really wrong with POTTER’S RAID as a title, although it took me a bit to warm up to it, is it describes the pre-game, not the game. I think you need something similarly plain-on-the-surface for the meat of what’s happening. THE MARCH TO NEW BERN is unfortunately not quite it.

THE LAST MARCH OF COMPANY L? (Wait, is it the last?)
