Battle days 2023

[Smiley Miley 66]

I ve put up Stewart's list of Games day that he has organised over the year at Entoyment on the Peter Pig Players Group on Facebook. Sorry it's taken me a bit of time to put them up, but I ve been busy doing I think one of my favourite subjects. ACW river Warfare. Before we go onto the next up and coming subject.
Obviously this is only good for those that use or are on Facebook ? But as this does have the potential of a world wide audience, it is always worth using this platform to inform others.

Good initiative Miles. As you say, this has the potential to reach a wider audience than this forum which even if it only generated 1 or 2 more players would be worthwhile. I know of  1 Facebook member who said he would attend the Hammerin Iron game yesterday because of Facebook.

Some of you might have noticed that I ve updated the Peter Pigs Players group on Facebook.
I ve noticed that Martin has done the same on PP website.
So this year's initial battledays have been set up.
Of course, there is a clash ?
9-9-23, Samurai clashes with this years Colours in Newbury.
So hopefully we can work out a compromise?

That was very poor planning by the Colours organisation committee, Miles.

Simon

[Smiley Miley 66]

They should have consulted Stewart before they planned their event ?
Miles

[Colonel Kilgore]

Precisely. What were they thinking of, Miles?

Simon

[martin goddard]

A deliberate attempt to draw the crowds away??

[Colonel Kilgore]

Indeed, Martin. But clearly foolish of them to mess with The Followers Of The Pig.

I guess they'll rethink next year, after no-one turns up at Newbury?

Simon

[Stewart 46A]

We could feel sorry for Colours and their experiences and move samurai battle day to the Sunday?


Stewart

[Smiley Miley 66]

It's up to you Stewart. If you can arrange for the time off ?
Miles

[Smiley Miley 66]

I have rearranged the FB site so the Samurai is now on the Sunday.
The first of the years events happens this weekend.
Our yearly Homage to Bournemouth International Centre (BiC) with our Friends Entoyment, Beachhead 2023.
Hammerin Iron (small scenario's)is being played by Martin, Stewart and others.
Men of Company B (Australian) is being played by Mike, Simon, myself Colin(hopefully) and others.
So the flags of both Peter Pig and RFCM group/forum are on display this weekend.
Hope to see you there. Do come and say hello !

Thanks for the update Miles

We need to create some enhanced words for the  Vietnam game you are doing Miles.


e.g Submersion into the world of Pig through a gritty first hand combat simulation.
This is just like actually being in 'Nam. Each D6 roll is exactly the same as fighting in SE Asia.
You get to command your faction through the Peter Pig universe, just like real Kombat(TM).
Hold on for a bumpy ride.
A person who once saw a Vietnamese flag says "Just like real Kombat(TM) . Awesome to the max."
As in real combat the fight can be stopped for a walk around or tea break.
You can feel the chopper rotors blasting dust in your face.
Double awesome.
See attached picture of a pint of beer.
Even more manly awesome.
See attached picture from Apocalypto Now.
