Di we have room for 4 games per session this year?
My aims in general are:
1. Play as many games as possible. I think record was 11, but that included 3 or 4 games of Pirate land raids which is really quick.
2. Play as many different games as possible.
3. Play with as many different people as possible.
4. Talk about toy soldiers as much as possible.
It's typically a packed weekend that is my favourite gaming weekend of the year. I've missed trips south this year but intend to make up for it at the WWW!
Excellent principles, Sean, and it will be good to see you after so long.

Thanks for doing it

To those playing SCW (Sean, Miles, Mike H and Eric) and WA (Derek, Richard, Ben) I have armies for both sides which I will point up to save time. However if you have your own army that you want to use that is fine. Just let me know what it is and bring it along, preferably pointed up. It would also help me if you could let me know your level of knowledge of the game in each instance.
John
To Sean re SB RCW game. Great to try this out but I thought I was doing something else! I don't have an RCW army painted. The closest I have is 1918 Western Front British. I'm happy to use those if need be.
John
It's all good for me, Stewart.
Many thanks for herding us cats.
Simon

John
I'd not seen the RCW game on the offered list though I'd said o Stewart I'd bring it.
I do have enough for 2 players, but if you're down for something else absolutely no problem!
Re the SCW, I have a Moroccan army I've yet to use plus could do Anarchists International Brigade Falangists or Nationalistas.
Thanks Sean. I'm not down for anything else. I'd love to have another go at SB as I haven't played it for quite a while. Could I borrow one of your armies please?
I'll get back to you on the SCW once I've heard from the others. I have Republicans and Assault Guards painted.
John
John,
Absolutely no problem at all! I'll bring down my whites and reds.
Crumbs! A week tomorrow I'll be dropping my daughter off at school and heading down south.
And I've just realised I've not placed my order to take advantage of Martin's very generous discount. Best get it sent in tomorrow.
At the moment it's looking like
1. A copy of CK
2. 2 packs of Sudan British dead.
3. Either Parthians or Germans to go against my Romans
4. A few SCW Civil and Assault Guard
5. Possibly a few 8th Army/Italians/US Marines/Japanese when I can decide which PBI army to use for the new edition.
Anyone else picking anything up?
EW WW2 German army with a few tanks. Will keep me busy till the new year. Just hope I had my sums nearly right on what I needed lol.
Derek
US Marine Company for PBI, some SCW bombers and something else I can't remember. I must also order some Macedonian dead packs.
John
Thanks all.
A good Christmas for Peter Pig.
martin :)
I need to put in my order. I tend to "buy ahead" and get stuff when it comes out, so have a lot in my pile already.
But I think I will be getting some Musketeer dead, and some WW1 Dragoons on foot for SB Day next year.
If Martin did a Lee/Grant tank, I'd buy a few of them too :)
Simon
Well, Martin's not jumped in to sculpt up a Lee/Grant, so I'll turn to the humdrum but vital topic of WWW logistics.
From what time are people planning on arriving on Friday?
Simon
Hi Simon,
I plan to be there about 1600 and set the rooms up
And get my party gear ready
Stewart
Is the lee grant for Burma Simon?
martin :)
That was indeed the idea, Martin.
Presumably also usable in the Western Desert? I don't know enough about the various turret combinations but it seems from what I've read that pretty much anything goes.
You could always check in that Airfix Guide you are selling off ;D
If you could be tempted to sculpt one, I'd commit to buying 6 (i.e. 3 for each theatre).
Simon
should be there between 4-5pm I think. Depends on if the Memsahib has any demands before I set out!.
Derek
Simon, the 8th Army used the Lee/Grant with the British turret. The Americans used the American turret. In Burma the 14th Army mainly used the American version as they were shipped across the Pacific and were rushed into service without the turret modification. They may have had some British turret versions, I don't know, but all the pictures I have seen are the US version.
John
Thanks John.
So Martin could hypothetically make one hull and offer it with one of two turrets. And I'd buy 3 of each :)
Simon
Simon
If you want a couple of lees for the weekend I have a couple
Stewart
Thanks Stewart - this wasn't for the weekend. It's pursuing a cross-thread about what we're pre-ordering for collection there. I'd said that I'd buy some Lee/Grants if Martin made some.
I feel sure we've now almost convinced him that he should ;D
Simon
Sorry I have taken this chat in a new direction.
I will be there at about 4pm because it gets dark soon after that.
For new attendees do be careful about the gateposts as they still have the metal gate mountings still sticking out.
I will print off battle sheets for the games that I think night want them
Do feel welcome to contact me if you wanted a specific battle sheet or play sheets printed.
martin :)
I'll be there between 4 and 5. I'll probably be in Weymouth a little earlier but it's a little tradition of mine to have an ice cream on the front and a stroll through the town to soak up the atmosphere!

Friday night Hammering Iron.
I ve worked out the 2 fleets, using the Normal rules, but the Attackers are already decided. So the fleets are designed with a slightly better points advantage. As the Confederate's don't have to point up a "Fort" in their points ? The Union don't have to point up a 6th ship ?
CSS Arkansas heads up a Confederate fleet out of the Yazoo.
Confederate will be Attacking, and the Union are defending.
In order of Appearance.
Union Fleet:
USS Carondelet Ironclad City class. 1260
USS Queen of the West. Wooden Ram. 507
USS Tyler. Tinclad. 1030
USS Benton. Ironclad 1495
USS Essex. Ironclad. 1360
Small Fort 3 x medium guns. 300
Total: 5952
Confederate Fleet:
CSS Arkansas. Ironclad. 1555
CSS General Beauregard. Tinclad Ram. 772
CSS Colonel Lovell. Tinclad Ram. 726
CSS General Stirling Price Tinclad Ram 870
CSS McRea. Tinclad Sloop. 728
CSS Tennessee. Ironclad. 1360
Total: 6011
The rest of the game will be as per Rules, might have Two sets of Target ships rather than Target ships and Target Town, but their placing would be same as normal rules ! This would be more representative of the Arkansas attacking the big Union Fleet at Vicksburg ! The Fort will be Representative of the big Union Sloops moored up ?
If we have time we can play the game then swap sides and play again ? Union becomes Confederate and visa Versa ?
Hopefully this negates anyone thinking it's too much oriented one way or another ?
Also a good spread of ships ? I ve Included the Tennessee in as it gives the Confederates another Ironclad, technically speaking it shouldn't be in the game, but if it had been built to the timetable it would've been there ?

Well, the models are lovely!
Simon
I'm still at the hospital awaiting blood results. Arrived at 0830hrs, needle went into my arm at 0836hrs.
The upshot is I'll likely be a late arrival. Google maps tells me I have a 5 hour 20 minute drive.
Although I've now had the all clear for the second time for my cancer, I'm not feeling particularly well, so I'll be taking my time. Hopefully arrive in time for a game tonight, but I think I'll be missing dinner at the pub.
See you later!
Take it easy, Sean - no rush.
Looking forward to seeing you whenever you get there.
Simon
Well all packed for the weekend of gaming
Guinness, Rum oh and some figures
Stewart
Well done Stewart.
The car is packed and I'm heading off once I've eaten.
Hope to be there around 16:30.
Simon
Hi All,
I hope you have a good time. Please take lots of photos.
Best wishes,
Martin from Grimsby
Thank you to everyone who turned up to play and/or put on games this weekend. A real mix of periods and genres.
Special thanks to Stewart for organising the whole thing.
Simon
I forgot to take many photos, amid the excitement of the games in which I was participating. But have a few.
First up are some of the newly-published Conquerors & Kings rules games that Martin was running:

The last three are from my game playing Egyptians against Weymouth Mike & Martin's freshly cast Macedonian force.
Simon
I ran a Vietnam downed aircrew rescue scenario from the MOCB rulebook. We were all a little rusty on the core rules, but this scenario made an interesting change from the normal VC or NVA game, since the aircrew have to be searched for in jungle and bamboo squares.
With thanks to Stewart for the loan of his American force.

Eric and I played Stewart's Pirate Land Raid three times on Friday night. Stewart has a great set-up, and it's a very fast and fun little game.

A very bloody SCW game was fought out last night. John's very nice Assault Guards beat what I think was a Republican force, although to be honest there weren't many figures from either side left standing at the end.

My final game saw Derek and me (Indians) playing against Miles's assorted 7th Cavalry, wagon trains, stage coaches, settlers and townsfolk in Stewart's rather magnificent take on a Pony Wars-inspired game using the RFCM Western rules mechanics.
I'm keen to play this one again - ideally on the full 12' x 4' table it was designed for when we have a few more figures.
