I'd love to have been able to come, as I do like these rules and period, but I'm afraid we're away.

Summary
Usual 2 games in the day.
Some games 2 per side and some 1 per side.

We have at least 3 Rules lawyers present. One per table. Similar to the FM day.
Longships is quite difficult to remember, but I think we should be OK.  Do read the rule clarifications too.

Table set ups
Richard
Stewart
Big Mike
martin

I suggest that each of the four above bring 14 scenery pieces already chosen so that less stuff need be brought along. Gives players no choice, but helps the smooth runnings.

martin will print off battle sheets and soem spare play sheets.

Any questions?

Team so far

Many thanks all for coming along and for those that organised it.

Thanks to everyone that made the day. Especially Stewart and Martin for getting together and organising it, along with others who brought scenery etc. It was nice actually only having to bring Dice and a Set of Rules.
2 games played.
Saxon v Vikings. Lost
Vikings v Vikings. Won. But a great chance after to have some "battle game" turns after.
Just got to learn how to base these Vikings to suit this game and to suit CK as well ?
A very good day thank you for those those that were came.

Thanks to Stewart once again for getting us all together for a great days gaming.
Longships is a cracking set of rules and has stood the test of time. Some useful rule clarifications have been collated by Martin for future use. Looking forward to more Viking/Saxon/Carolingian/Irish action at the WWW in November.

We need more challenges, whether pointless or not.
