Good thoughts Miles
March is pretty soon . Shall we look at that first?
There are 5 saturdays in March.
2nd, 9th,16th, 23rd,30th
If we are going to meet at entoymnet there will need to be checks on the other competitions booked in on that day.

We need 4 minimum to get going. No maximum.
I will put down a couple of ideas, so we have something to "push about".

Idea 1
2nd March
Another Viking day. We will all be better at the rules by then. Stuff will readily be to hand. Simple game, looks good.

Idea 2
16th March. SCW day. I appreciate that only a few of us have armies. I have plenty of spare armies. Easy to get 2 games in the day. Lots of entoymnet there.

If we can get the minimum 4 for each day then it is go! I am happy to pay for the tables as well.
I am happy to be one of those on each day. Need 3 more per day please.

Available 2nd or 16th March for what ever game people want to play.

Well that is 2 of us Stewart. We will certainly have a first and second place prizes.

I'm most likely available. Are you at Alumwell this year Martin? That is Sunday so any Saturday in March is ok.

Smiley Miley 66 · January 27, 2019, 10:24:55 AM

I am happy with either/both dates

martin goddard · January 27, 2019, 01:58:59 PM

Yes Sean, i am at Alumwell. Last year the blizzards stopped us. Nigel was all for walking there, so his enthusiasm is very high indeed! i will wait for a couple more replies before going positive on the dates I have proffered.

There is an ADLG competition at Entoyment on 16/17 March, not sure how big it will be although I am hoping to attend (work permitting).

I can do 2nd March, if that's when it ends up.

martin goddard · January 29, 2019, 09:32:14 AM

I shall go ahead and book 2nd March = Viking day and 16th March SCW day.
I will put this out to all and see who is interested.

Would love to attend having missed the first one, but I have commitments with Ava all day. I'm sure it will be another great day of slaughter. The 1030 year anniversary doesn't come around every day.

I am consoling myself by donning my armour and striding the wargaming fields of the Wars of the Roses.

That sounds righteous

Lads, have a great day down in Wessex. Sorry I will miss it as I am in Lundene.
However, I have just about finished two 6" X 12" Pallisade scenery pieces for sale on the Viking Day at £20 each. I have asked Rob if he can pick them up from the Entoyment staff on the day. Rob has asked for one so the other piece is still for sale. I will try and attach a photo.
I have used two of the resin Pallisade sets made by Nigel Pell of "The Square" and have customised and extended them to fit the standard PP double square scenery size. I have also added a small gate house rather than leave an open entrance.
Have a great day.
Michael
