25th January 2025 PBI desert

[Colonel Kilgore]

The more nee-naws the better?
Bunker miniatures is in Somerset so one could drive up and pickup a whole box?

A gamette to get continued use from them?
Stewart has sourced some red crosses too.

I was tempted to pop in, but see that they're already closed until the new year.

Nice-looking files, though.

An ambulance gamette could maybe load up casualties or traverse a route.
Later. But it would encourage folk to buy ambulances.

My Italians arrived today.

They must have forced marched their way from the workshop at the double! I only ordered it yesterday morning 

 I've got some sand basing paste from AK Interactive arrives tomorrow.

Whether I make the game day or not the plan is to have the army painted in time just in case.

I will thank Mike and Nigel for good work Sean.

[Sean Clark]

I have put a player update here so that it does not get lost in the greater chat.

1. Stewart- British + Table set up
2. Miles- British + Table set up
3. John- Americans
4. Southampton Ben- German
5  martin- Italian +Table set up
6. Weymouth Ben - Italians with feathers
7.  Mike - DAk
8. Colin - British and Germans. Maybe a table set up if needed ?
9. Simon Allies or Axis TBC
10.

I will hunt around to see if I have a second table cloth.
Then we probably have enough extra scenery to make an extra table?

The army balance is not important for battle days but it is good if the sides are numerically the same?

I've offered Simon my Desert Rats and I will send him details of what I have after Christmas. I may have a cloth available for the desert but I have very limited scenery (a few buildings and rocky outcrops.
John

[Colonel Kilgore]

Thanks John.

I have various desert pieces from Western I could use.

Will this be the first game with the newly published rules?

Love to come but have a 90th birthday party to go to.

[colin31dip]

I'll be there.  Have both DAK and 8th Army plus terrain.  Colin

We have been using the PBI 2025 for the past two years or so. However, this is only the third PBI day where a printed set has been present.

It will be nice to know the book is ready and finished.
