I fancy using a Mexican army.
Can we choose our own scenery for the games?
I say this because the army would be very cavalry.

Thanks.

As on previous SB Days the plan is all the mats & scenery will be provided for each and every table. This allows pre-organisation to take into account the actual range of armies in use on the day, to be fair to all players. It also facilitates easy re-allocation of players to tables in the second round. Of course we could make one of the tables Mexico with the full range of related scenery for you to choose from and also ensure that you get to play at least one game on that table

That would help.
My proposed Mexican revolutionary army is all cavalry, plus a few guns/MGs.

I know I'm late to the party this year, but have finally managed to negotiate a day away from exam revision.

Is it too late for me to join in?

Simon

Sean Clark · May 23, 2025, 09:12:21 AM

Ah Simon. We won't be renewing our bitter rivalry across the table. My god daughters 21st birthday party is the same day and for some odd reason it starts at 12pm.

Enjoy the day.

(When I first typed the above it came up as our butter rivalry. That conjurs a few images!)

Colonel Kilgore · May 23, 2025, 09:30:55 AM

I look forward to lobbing dairy products at you this time next year, Sean

Simon

martin goddard · May 23, 2025, 10:17:09 AM

It would be great to have you along Simon.
You can always double up with my Mexican freedom fighters army?

Colonel Kilgore · May 23, 2025, 10:19:05 AM

Thanks Martin.

I was planning on bringing my all-conquering (?) British Mid-War Western Front 1915-17.

Maybe we combine: Mexicans + tanks?

Simon

Colonel Kilgore · May 23, 2025, 02:08:09 PM

Anybody else able to join us, please?

We're ideally looking for one more player to balance the numbers.

"Pigsticker" Ray and friends can kindly loan an army, as necessary.

Simon

Sean Clark · May 23, 2025, 03:37:03 PM

It might mean Simon C has to play!

As long as I don't have to play the one that lost me a load of points last year ?
By quitting the game halfway thru ? And rendering my point total Invalid ? Which was highly unfair, as I was still playing, was trying to help him play and was winning ! Anyway ?
Plus I ve bought both versions of the rule book ! Also I ve even read them several times? Which is more than my opponent had done !
Yes I will be a 2 player If i need to ?
