I've signed up.

However, I'm only 50% likely to come. My daughter has an event that weekend and we won't know until much nearer the time whether it's Saturday or Sunday.

If I don't make it, you can all fight over my sandwiches and bag of crisps

I'm interested but won't know until end of April if I will be free.

Can a different army be used for each session?

I have signed  up. Thank you for the event.
I shall use my Serbian army or Mexican army.

Assuming I make it, I will be using French (whatever I manage to paint by then, supplemented by a kind figure loan by Martin).

Startedpainting another unit today, British Guards, but TBH I might struggle to get enough Germans completed. However, I will put on a miniature sized game if I don't get enough stuff completed by late June. Trying for one painting session perday minimum.

[Moggy]

Think I am in for this but its a fair way away right now.

Can always use my Italians. After all its just a short trip in small boats to the Balkans.

Well, my brother has come to the rescue. He is currently having a big sort out after some building work, and has sent me some excess painted Germans and British so I should be able to put on a regular sized solo game in the dutch annexe on 29th of June.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Simon - I am sadly not going to make it after all - my daughter's event has ended up being on the Saturday instead of the Sunday.

I've already paid up - Miles is going to be masquerading as me, so those sandwiches won't go to waste.

Squarebashing 2024 t-shirt added the the RFCM merch shop

[Leman (Andy)]

Got the shirt and, thanks to my brother, a complete British 1914 army that simply requires basing. It may look a bit odd because he bought the figures ready painted on ebay and they are in a darker khaki than I would have painted them. I also think they are Minifigs rather than Peter Pig, but, using what I already have, I have only needed 3 infantry units and two artillery pieces. The crew are ok but the guns are a bit on the tiny side. However, I will have to concentrate on painting the dastardly Hun to get things ready for June 29th. I'll submit a full report at the end of that day so you can see which army performed best. As a pursuing army the Germans will have cavalry and jaegers as well as a bunch of conscripts and some artillery. Looking forward to this.

[Colonel Kilgore]

This is a great initiative, Andy - running the same event in two countries!

Simon

[martin goddard]

Don't forget to allow for the 1 hour time difference Andy. We are starting at 9am.
Simon can add it to the days results?


martin

[Leman (Andy)]

It will suit my retired lifestyle to start at 10am. Really looking forward to it. Will probably use 10mm buildings to reduce footprint.
