2018 Squarebashing day

[SimonC]

Squarebashing 2018 is to be held on Saturday 23rd June 2018, at Battlefieldhobbies in Daventry.

It will be a team event (entries permitting). The armies are divided into 2 Pools. In each team - one player plays allies, the other central powers. I have added forces from the Russian Civil War that are dated 1918+. I have added 2 neutral armies that can be fielded on the  either side. Game pairings will 'historical' were possible, and avoid 'same club' where possible

The lists and statuses are


There will be 2 games, Team against Team (Allies vs Central Powers). For each game the sum of each team score will be added to the team total. The army points are 620pts (standard game)

To encourage using under valued armies the sum total of army rating will be deducted from final score.

The terrain will be pre set , other than that,  its RAW. You have the option to use the 'Rays Stick' method for countdown to battle. There will be no trench, canal or fort games. All painted figures please, we want it to look nice!

Any questions can be raised to me at Simon@lurkio.co.uk or via the RFCM forum

I can feel a new army coming on for next year. American Doughboys or a RCW army which I have wanted to do for a very long time.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Many thanks for this, Simon.

I saw the "not up yet" bit after clicking on the Battlefield Hobbies link (doh....) - perhaps you can kindly let us know when they do have things set up on their website?

Very much looking forward to this next SB extravaganza!

thanks

[Sean Clark]

Paid.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Likewise - paid eventually (I think!).

Slightly quirky payment system with some approximate English at time - they offer Amex, but are unable to actually process it.

When I paid by another method, I received the intriguing message of: "The payment could not be processed. However, it seems that the payment was successful nevertheless. Your order was created and can be seen on the order confirmation page. Please contact us to find out more about the status of the order."

So I think I'm going...

[SimonC]

This is rallying cry for entrants please. While it is still a long way away , its good to get names and numbers just for the venues sake

[Colonel Kilgore]

A useful reminder.

Without asking for names, how many do you have signed up so far Simon?

[martin goddard]

I intend to come of course!  Will ask the lads who wants to make up the "expeditionary party".
Any particular theme?

[SimonC]

We are just 6 weeks away now, so this is just a bump to get this back into peoples mind to enter

thanks
Simon

[Colonel Kilgore]

Simon,

Can I just check that I'm on the list? They seem to have taken my money when I signed up online, although the subsequent message I received was a tad ambiguous!

[SimonC]

you are not on the list - I'm just chasing up

[Colonel Kilgore]

Cool, thanks - the payment may not have gone through, then - please let me know if it didn't and I need to resubmit.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Simon - I have just checked my credit card statement. Battlefield Hobbies did indeed relieve me of £12.50 on 20th November...

[Colonel Kilgore]

And I've just spoken to the nice gentlemen at the store. All sorted, and he's converted my status to "fully paid up". Apparently their site sometimes has issues with Barclaycard. As well as with Amex...

Most importantly, it sounds as though there are only 5 of 6 of us signed up in total, so we need some more of you to come along and join in the fun, please!
