I thought I would start a chat about the forthcoming day.
BB is a fairly simple set of rules that should be nice and easy to play.
Armies and players
martin with 2 armies
martin :)
I ve only got my old BB version one army and the rules v1 &2.
I have started looking at converting it to V2
At sometime need to make some specific scenery. But not for a while.
Miles
3 tables booked
I have two armies and scenery/ cloth for one table
Stewart
I should be there. I think I have an army I can cobble together. Miles, if you have old BB armies then you have new ones too. You just need some half bases.
John
I should be there with my army.
Derek
The players so far are:-
Stewart= got an army + Spare
martin= got an army + Spare
John = got an army or will borrow
Miles= got an army
Derek (possibly) = got an army
Sean = got army
That gives us 3 definites and 2 possibles.
Maybe two tables worth?
Still 2 weeks until the event.
All are welcome but it is good to know who "will" be there so we can organise the right number of tables.
Please copy this (CTRL C) update and then paste it (CTRL V).
martin :)
Sorry chaps I am working thar weekend >:(
Chris
Martin, I am a definite and I think I have an army. Not the other way round.
John
Well the Half bases are going to be a problem for me ? As I am now doing the Colours game.
Then PBI is next on the list, as well As Stewart's vehicles ? As he keeps reminding me !
That's pictures from last year after the last time we played BB, so I could see what I had.

Very nice Miles.
That is plenty for an army.

Derek
Thanks Derek
We no have 9 players, with a majority knowing the rules.
I will do the usual reminders trail here too.
martin :)
I am not too sure you can say I "know" the rules as I ve still got a lotto learn.
Miles
dont think I have played since Last Novemeber LOL
Derek
Just roll 5,6 Derek and all should be well. 1,2,3 not so good.
That is tactics all done.
martin :)
Once again, work thwarts my intentions to head south for this weekend. I dont think I've made one trip down this year. :(
Roll on retirement.
I sadly can't make it either, Sean.
Would it help if I wrote you a sick note for Saturday, though?
Simon
It's Friday that's the issue as I'm off for the weekend. But a 4-5 hour drive would mean setting off at 4am which is not an attractive option.
Ah - I see the problem... :(
Simon
When you retire Sean, your daughter will be turning pro and will need you to be her agent/manager or the likes. So you won't so much be retiring as changing career.
We will miss you on Saturday. Roll on WWW.
John
No problem Sean.
The rules will not change.
martin :)

Good luck to all those playing today.
Shame that Sean won't be there to kill King Richard three times in the day (a well-kept secret at a previous event, that he never likes to mention ;D) on this occasion.
Simon
Shame I couldn't make it. I ve run out of spare cash. Doing this table for Colours, even though I am beg,burrow and (steal) find in a bin ! For a lot of the bits. The glues, adhesives, screws etc aren't cheap. They have eaten my little spare cash pot up this month.
But hopefully the day is going well ?

Simon
It was only twice and I don't like to brag about it ;D
So, how did it go yesterday, chaps?
Simon
I thought it was an excellent day, especially as a I won both my games(rarely happens). First one was a big win; second one was much more of a struggle and it looked close but the points at the end showed a good win for Derek and me. Over the two games I beat off 3 of the 4 cavalry charges against me. I think there were 8 or 9 of us.
