I've sent in my preferences and really looking forward to it. A great bunch of gamers playing to the spirit of rules for the common man.
Yes it's a long way (just over 200 miles) but I use the time to listen to an audio book and wouldn't miss it for the world.

Only 200 miles, just the next village.
For me just 417 km for the weekend!! But a great weekends war gaming.
This is going to be a great weekend! Determined to play myself out!
Sunday, what second game are you thinking of Stewart?? I fancy Vikings or Nam or ECW????

I will leave that open to those who are still there, the idea is to enjoy the weekend and play something you may not have tried
Martin,
I'm happy with any of those three!
And I also intend to play myself into a stupour :)
I haven't experienced winning yet!
I think you may have beaten rather soundly in a game of PBI! With some help from Les BT.
My Somme game is getting closer to completion. The 'Ironclad' miniatures trenches are nearly done. The Hawthorne crater is next and the mat has to be painted. It'll be a busy 4 weeks!
We have one room available sharing with Miles, cost for the weekend £70
This time next weekend we will be up and having a lovely cooked breakfast pondering the days campaigning ahead.
I am getting a tad excited now. Love my trips to Weymouth!
Thanks to all who attended, I believe everyone enjoyed the games, thank you to the game hosts and a special GOLD thank you to Sean for the Somme game.
I will try to post a few pics but many more were taken by Sean and Martin.

Somme game
Wow - looks as though you all had a great time.
Lots here to like, but one specific query: how did you make the red / yellow / white text inserts for the caches loops (which look great)? The colour-coded bases of the contents of each loop are also a neat idea.
I have a local company engrave them for me and stuck them over the centre of the loops that Peter Pig sell
Thanks for the information Stewart - they look excellent!
Would you mind sharing an approximate price - I'm guessing bespoke engraving isn't exactly cheap?
I haven't been charged yet as we get other printing done for our business but he was talking about £5 each. Not cheap because of the set up time for a single unit, but I like them.
Well, that was an excellent weekend in Weymouth. I played 8 games and ran a 9th. A comprehensive report will follow tomorrow once my lectures have uploaded to Photobucket.
Most definitely the highlight of my wargaming year.
Cheers Stewart for making the whole shebang happen.

Thanks Stewart - that's good to know. Not cheap, as you say, but very professional-looking.
