Piggie Days in the North

[Turnip Tom]

Hello All,

Does anyone know if there are any Piggie Days up North?
I'm in Sheffield so something in a radius from there preferably.

Cheers
Tom

AK47 is one I've had most fun with.

Played the WW1 game, again goof times.

Had my beedie eye on some of the others but there are so many rule sets, both Piggie and not, to tempt me!

There is a group of us at the York club who play PP games.
I can put on Bayonet & Ideology, Hammerin Iron and Patrols in the Sudan.
I've almost finished my WW1 Italians to go with my Austro-Hungarians. That will allow us to play Square Basing.
One of the guys has a very large AK47 collection.
No piggie days planned at the moment but we are doing a Saturday game for a different rule set in January.
So who knows.

I'm in Derby, lots of the North is doable for me and happy to travel (keep me posted on developments chaps!)

Hi Tom,
I'm in Grimsby. Are there any gaming venues in Sheffield?

Sean Clark may be interested too.

Julian,
Stockport is a possibility.

Weekends are best for me.

Best wishes,
Martin Buck

[Sean Clark]

I'm certainly interested. Anyone close to Stoke on a Friday is welcome to my club. I'm also not adverse to travel to Element Games in Stockport and I am not constrained to weekends - mid week is a possibility too.

Regards

Sean

Goodness what an enthusiastic response!

So I've organised a few gaming days before, but am by no means any authority on the matter.

It sounds though that if I was to find a venue, such as the social club literally round one corner from me who have always been game for this sort of thing, then there'd be definite interest.

Another day was mentioned in January so if I aimed for one later in the year?

Tom

[Sean Clark]

Definitely interested. Sounds like a good plan. Whether multiple rules or one specific, I can manage most PP games.

[John in York]

I'm interested.
It sounds like it would be a great day out.
Obviously it depends on the date and what games are played (I can do Bayonet & Ideology, Hammerin Iron and Patrols in the Sudan. Soon will be able to do Square Bashing).
I play PP games in a group of 4. I'll ask the other 3 if they are interested.

[Jimmy James]

Evening chief!
1) yep, I'm in - sounds a good crack.
2) can't do Easter w/e but should be awright for either of the others
3) happy to try all sorts, only have kit for AK47 but if can borrow some figs(?) I'll give owt a go. Good man!

Jimmy

[Sean Clark]

Back in work tomorrow. I'll check what the big guy upstairs has in store for me over those dates.

Hi Julian,
I'm sorry I can't commit to anything in April next year, and Easter is definitely out due to family birthdays.

Best wishes,
Martin Buck

Hi,
Just to confirm that my little group of 4 are all very interested.
I can do either if the 2 Saturdays in April. I think 2 of the others are also ok with either.
Alan works on some Saturdays and won't know until much nearer the time. We'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
In terms of periods:-
I have a large Bayonet & Ideology collection (and can easily put on a game). 2 of the others have quite a few companies.
I can put on a game of Hammerin Iron.
I can put on a game of Patrols in the Sudan.
I should be able to put on a game of Square Bashing (Austro-Hungarian v Italian).
Adrian S has a very large collection for AK47.
Obviously though we could only bring so much (as we'd travel together).

Hope the above helps.
Cheers
