I have put out an open post to WWS members to see if anyone wants to join us. No replies yet.
John
Room for a small one? I can bring my all-conquering Italians :)
Simon
Yes please Simon. You can come too.
Most players are dressing as dictators, nuns and Ernest Hemingway.
martin :)
Smoking jacket and plimsoles are a must ?
Italians something for my Republican army to get their teeth into ?

Cliff?
Miles has a table setup.
martin has full table set up.
That should cover it (pun intended).
As there will be 2 games in teh day I can bring spare armies if playesr wish for alternatives.
If Southampton club is quiet we can expand to 3 tables?
Maybe end to end to preserve physical space?
martin :)
Cliff already has a game. I shall point up and bring both Assault Guards and Spanish Peninsula Republicans (not to be confused with International Brigade).

Some of you know from last week, that my wife wasn't well, look like it's my turn now.
At this moment I am feeling sort of crap, but every day I am feeling worse, so if I say now that Saturday is looking as if I am not coming, I will confirm tomorrow afternoon.
But if I say now then the people can make other arrangements.
Sorry but I don't want to be bringing what I have to you all.
Miles
I should be able to bring a set up. It won't be as pretty as Miles (sorry, Miles') but should cover everything.
Very considerate of you to stay under the duvet Miles. Hope you are better soon.
John

Oh no, sorry to hear that Miles.
Thanks for thinking of the rest of us.
Hope you're both feeling a lot better soon.

No worries Miles.
Thanks for letting us know.
Get well.

I will have to wait to play SOL as well, as I was looking forward to seeing the rules in use ? After that I always find my minds can read the "rules" better after playing them !
Miles
I'm the same as you there, Miles!
Simon
Is it a 10:00 start in Southampton tomorrow morning?
Simon
I shall be there just before ten.
We have a mix of new and veteran players but the games are still quite rapid.
A ten o'clock start will work just fine.
Do bring yourself something for lunch. I intend to bring some sandwiches from the Tesco shop.
They do have a tuck shop there for drinks and snacks.
I will bring 3 armies too.
martin :)
Thanks Martin.
I too will aim to arrive a little before opening time.
Simon
Well, that was a very enjoyable day at the Wessex club in Southampton, in a really excellent Memorial Hall.
I'd like to thank all who made me very welcome there, as well as my fellow RFCM players - Martin, Derek, John, Richard and Alan.
My first game saw Alan and me take on Richard with my Italians. I think Richard had Assault Guards.

For our second game, Alan and I took on Martin's Requetes.

Martin was very cheeky and attacked my weaker platoon with both of his, leaving Alan sitting on the other two objectives looking for someone to shoot at. Fortunately we rapidly brought on the tankettes, which proved very handy in holding off the enemy hordes.
Two fun games with a relatively simple set of rules that always seem to give enjoyable if rather bloody entertainment.
Simon
Yes it was a good day at the club. Apart from our two tables there were ten others. Approximately 40 of us at Wessex Wargames Society, which is a vibrant club on the edge of the New Forest. Thanks to Martin for the armies and terrain and everyone else for the games.
John
Yep, great games. Thanks Martin. To say thank you will shortly be buying a SCW Army!
Derek
I agree, a good day of gaming. The battles were most enjoyable and bloody.
The club was super busy. It is good to see avarety of games.
I saw

Ancients
Horse and musket

A good club to pop into if a person were considering joining a club or starting the hobby

Great to see you've got your painting mojo back, Derek!
And of course, once you have one force done, you'll want to do another one for this colourful period :)
Simon
You know me all too well. Can never have just one side in a period!
Derek

I'm sure Martin will be on the phone to his local Ferrari dealership first thing Monday morning ;D
Simon
Looks good for PP.
I shall build a new army for SCW sometime. I am waiting for the Foreign Legion to be re-done.

Me too, Martin.
I've already bought the flags :D
Simon
I think the Foreign Legion would work for Falangists as well with their short painted blue?
That's the deed done. Republican army ordered along with some Vikings. All to help Martins retirement fund along.
Derek
You might need to write a new army list for the Nordic contingent, Derek. Or do they count as International Brigade?

Delivered first thing this morning. Now that's a great service. Many thanks to Martin's crew and Parcelforce!.
