Weymouth War Weekend 2025

Sean Clark · April 24, 2025, 09:15:53 PM

Family bereavements, weddings or bar mitzvahs allowing, I'll be there.

As Im currently recovering in hospital from a ruptured appendix which I had removed this morning, I'm hoping my own medical crisis for the year is over with.

I shall certainly bring a game.

Something like Conquerors and Kings, Bloody Barons or Mexico. Plus I'll bring as many gamettes as I can carry.

Sean Clark · April 24, 2025, 09:18:04 PM

Sign me up.

If you need them, I have a Montagnard army that is yet to see the table. But I'm sure you'll have your own!

Best wishes for getting better Sean.
I would like to play some bloody barons, if you can bring that?

As there are two AK games I will modify my contribution (early days of course).

1. TCR
2. Siege napoleonic thing.

I would like to join in with CK and BB. I can bring either or both if others do not.

Ouch Sean! I sympathise with you having suffered the same in 2018. The surgeon said it was the third worst one he'd done. I didn't like to ask what happened to the other three!!!!!! At least there will not be a recurrence.

Thanks both. Apparently the registrar got a bit scared when he saw mine and had to bring in the consultant

I saw him this morning and had a lovely chat about the Western Front during the First World War and how to cook a nice pork loin. Damn nice chap!

Martin,

I shall bring all of Bloody Barons with my nice new S and A Scenic scenery.

This is good Stewart.
There might be another gamette out by then? Sniper?

Well AK, TCR, and PBI ? Whatever is next of the re-make list ? (PiTS ?) A civil war game or two ? ECW,ACW or SCW. Sean mentioned Westerns ? Also some Ancient games as well as Pirates ?
I think that's most covered ? That's Friday night. What we going to do on Saturday? LoL

I'm not due to work that weekend so can you put me down for a day visitor with lunch Saturday and Sunday. I could put on my Battle of Brunanburh 937 scenario using Hail Caesar - Saxons, Scots, Strathclyde Welsh, Vikings everyone was there.

Thanks Chris
When would you like to put it on and would you run an AWI game as well ?

Stewart

DorchesterBede · April 28, 2025, 07:36:53 AM

Stewart

Happy to put on an AWI game as well. I can put them on whenever is convenient as long as there is a session gap between them preventing me mixing between the rules - where is the section on British Grenadiers using double handed axes, what do I need to throw to put those spearmen into skirmish formation etc. Maybe one on the Saturday the other either Friday night or Sunday morning?

Thanks Chris

martin thoughts

1. TCR
2. Siege napoleonic thing?

I fancy playing some BB and CK too. In fact any RFCM game. The good thing about the RFCM games is that all attendees will have had a part in the play testing and design of them.

Additionally.
The WWW will motivate me to paint up some more troops for one of the games at least.
There is always time for WWW players to paint up a couple of new generals. I did a new CC for my British this week. The other two British CC have gone missing in one of my boxes I expect.
