Stewart

[Colonel Kilgore]

I'm coming for the birthday cake.

And a game in the morning.

I plan to bring an army - just need to finish painting it.

I will have to leave mid-afternoon (bad domestic planning again...) though, I'm afraid.

Simon

[John Watson]

Sorry but I shall be sat by the pool (heated) eating French bread and brie and supping a glass of Chateau Collapseau.
John

[Big Mike]

I will be bringing my Assault Guards, some T-26 tanks and a cheeky little Polikarpov I-16 fighter plane.
Sadly, I don't have an eccentric hat to wear this time. Over to you Stewart.

If John is at his chateau he must be very high command.
I have several spare armies if anyone would like to borrow one.

For myself I will use Moroccans.

I will be bringing a new force of Nationalist persuasion, assuming paint has dried and it's all based up by then. If not, I may need to ask Martin for a few loaner bases!

I will be bringing an International Brigade with some odds. As some stuff isn't ready to use so there will be some fillers to make up the numbers ? But considering I didn't actually start this army until the day after the Kings Coronation, I think I ve done ok ? Plus I ve done a load of Scenery pieces as well for the table ? As the weather is perfect scenery making weather ! Glue and paint dry in hours not days !
I haven't done the special scenery piece as yet ?
But the next time I play everything should be in place, so please forgive me for this coming Saturday? It will be a true "Miss Mash" of a force ! But that's the spirit of SCW ?
But hopefully the scenery will look great ! LoL

[martin goddard]

I have spare bases if folk let me know what they need.


martin

[Smiley Miley 66]

Thank you Martin hopefully I ve got most base I need.
I will look at my force in the week and see. First I ve got to get my scenery together ?
Miles

[martin goddard]

Hello Miles
If you are doing scenery for a table can YOU choose the 16 pieces to save time on the day. Also you will need 16 partials and 3 objectives.
Objectives are single square.
Bridge, knoll, building (or similar items).

martin

[Smiley Miley 66]

Ok well I have 3 Objectives of which 2 are new. The Sherman Firefly Bridge is well used nowadays
16(20 as they can be used in PBI too)new Partials for Italy/Spain/Mexico
I will chose 16 templates.
6 Buildings
2 woods
3 Rough Hills
2 Dead Grounds
3 Gentle Hills
Plus 8 feet of Road.
So that's what I can Bring.
Also Martin will be supplying me a cloth as I don't have a dedicated 5 x 3 ft Mat as yet.
I must get one soon ?
Miles

[DorchesterBede]

I shall be going and will bring along my Peninsular (Republican) army, I have tanks, armoured cars, MMG and field guns though probably can't take all four. I'll need to dig them out as I can't remember what foot bases I have.

I do have a 5 x 3 grided cloth if needed.

Chris

[Smiley Miley 66]

Would anyone mind that for my "Light Tanks" I bring 2 PP MkVI tanks ?
Or I can use a pair of sdkfz 222 Armoured cars instead ?
Unless someone has more appropriate Lt Tanks I can borrow for the day ?
Also I am adding 5 bases from my 1918 SB army for my 5 Extras bases option.
I ve got an Heinkel 111 for my plane in "Spanish colours" as I was originally going to do Nationalists force.
Miles

[martin goddard]

I think folk will be just fine Miles. They are light tanks  and thus fulfil the description.
Best not to use SDKFZ 222 as they would be considered armoured cars.


martin

[Smiley Miley 66]

Actually I ve found a slightly better solution ? I ve got a couple of WW1 Whippet tanks that would fit the bill quite nicely!
I ve got my flag bearers painted up as well !
