Weymouth War Weekend 2025

[martin goddard]

Do you have any PP game that you are happy to run Derek. I can lend you some scenery etc if that helps. The weekend is intended for those present to play the games they have chatted about on this forum, bought armies for and that they have play tested. ie they are involved in the process. I think the RFCM focus is a good idea. A variety weekend might not attract the same group of people. Players book in, expecting to see the games they have talked about.

Maybe Stewart might organise a  "variety" weekend and we could all play a variety of games which have nothing to do with PP or RFCM. Players could bring along games they have bought or are developing themselves. I am happy to bring along DBA and A triremes game. I don't, for the above reasons.

I enjoy designing games with the team here, so maybe understand your enthusiasm to design a new game. A worthy goal. A good first step is to recruit a couple of chaps local to yourself and get the basics all sorted. Your local club is pretty big and has a big variety of interests.

Happy to do a PBI 1940 game on Friday evening or Sunday morning. I can provide everything. Might be British v Germans or Russian v Finns.
John

[martin goddard]

That would be excellent John.
Let me know if there are any bits of scenery/cloth you need?

martin

[Colonel Kilgore]

Russians vs. Finns would be something out of the ordinary.

Simon

That would be good John as there is no PBI at the weekend so far.

Apart from Ben doing PBI in the desert on Saturday afternoon 

But there's probably less snow in the desert.
