Title: Tempting fate - Zorndorf to Fiasco 2017
Post by: olicana on 25 October 2017, 04:00:23 PM
Hi,

just a note to say that the Ilkley Lads will be taking Zorndorf 1758 to Fiasco this weekend.

This game is, as far as I and others associated with it are concerned, cursed. I hope to change that, but this game has some bad history. Anyone dropping by for a chat should ask one of the Lads which end of the table I'm bound and gagged under, though you might work it out for yourself from the reek of garlic. Which ever end I'm under, you can guarantee there will be nothing for sale from it.

The game will be played using Black Powder. Hopefully we'll get a result in the day, and anyone wishing to join in for the day or a few turns, possibly sharing the curse, should make themselves known (limited places available, Holy Water only by Gordon's / Jack Daniel's is the price of admission lol).

That's a pity... I so wanted to buy some tanks!

May I note that fiasco is not a very fitting name for a successful event  :D
But this magnificent spectacle you are up to show there, deserves serious attention, so its history must change and I hope you have an enjoyable game.
I wish you all the best!
