Crete Day - 14th May 2022, Entoyment

[Colonel Kilgore]

That was deliberate, Martin. Stewart thought he'd have a better chance of winning if you didn't know the rules 

Hopefully rectified now.

A very nice day out at Entoynet.
A nice bunch players (as usual).
Good weather.
Refreshments.
Great looking scenery and great games.
Thanks to Simon for organising and all those that  attended
I really enjoyed Toby's talk on Crete too.

Yes, I echo your comments Martin.
Simon should now be dubbed Sir Simon of Kilgore for creating and delivering such an epic multi-scenario game.
Excellent.
Mike

[Stewart 46A]

I echo the same comments and would add the talk by Toby was very good and informative.

I hope some one took some decent pictures.

I have one of the players and the melame game

Brilliant day - great company; beautiful set ups (well done to all those who did the hard work!); and fun, interesting games.  Thanks to Simon for the staff work!

Thanks to all participants and contributors of figures and scenery yesterday, as well as to previous play testers, for bringing this 2.5-year project to fruition.

Some pictures of the start of Mike and Miles's rearguard action (aka "The Cheddar Gorge" game!):







And the final position after some hard fighting around Imros village:



A very close game with both players claiming some degree of victory!

The Maleme table before the start of hostilities:

Les's Aussies acquitted themselves very well, despite being so far from home:

Another closely fought game on the Rethymno table. One more turn and the Commonwealth forces may have retaken the airfield.

Here are a few pictures from myself.

Great to see you all had a great day out gaming.
Simon you have done really well to get it all onto the table.
From the meal we had in Weymouth three or was it four years ago when you proposed it, just look at all that's happened and you still got to play it.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Thanks Les!
It all started down the pub in Weymouth in November 2019...
We got a whole new range of figures from Martin and several practice games in too to check and refine things.
It's been somethung of a slog, but very nice that it finally happened. Toby's talk was the icing on the cake.
It would be nice to get one or other of the scenarios out again from time to time - maybe next at WWW 2022?

I think we should get the PBI rules nearly completed before doing it again, then we know "what" book we are reading from ?
I would love to play the table you were on Simon at sometime ?
I thought the picture of the Olive Factory looked lovely as well ?
Miles

[Colonel Kilgore]

Miles,
That would be very easy to do now we have all the toys sorted out - we have everything for that table between us.
And yes, your Olive Oil Factory looks fab 
I'm more than happy to put it on for WWW, once the PBI 2020 rules have progressed further.

Well done Simon. Even Covid and lockdown couldn't beat you.
