vikotnik had a go a painting it for us here and you can see it here:

Sure! Only £35.99 from Stansted return flight though. Luton and Gatwick is about the same. Manageable but not free.  :)

Yes you're right. Fish has always been the theme of Horisont.  ;)

Hardly matters though does it? I'll admit I was anticipating someone mentioning it...  lol

You are right to, and I'll tell you why while letting you in on a secret: we nicked a major chunk of your territory some time ago without no one really seems to have noticed!

A little extra bit of news:

Registration is now possible on the webpage. Registration form can be found in the top left side of the webpage (http://www.horisontesbjerg.dk/), here is the direct link (http://laesbjerg.dk/horisont/tilmelding_eng11.asp).

Note of warning: We can only take 400 people at the venue this year, so get signed up before it's too late!  lol

Post by: Dr. The Viking on July 25, 2011, 09:36:38 PM
As something new this year we will pick up and transport anyone arriving at Billund Airport.

Just let us know (Spicker or me).

Post by: Spicker on August 01, 2011, 02:24:44 PM
More news:
For those wishing to stay at the venue overnight, we can now offer mattrasses for "added luxury". These are 10cm hard-foam mattrasses (own linnen required/recommended) that will cost DKK 40,- for the weekend (this is what we pay the local emergency response departement for them).

The registration form (http://laesbjerg.dk/horisont/tilmelding_eng11.asp) will shortly be updated with this optional extra.

This year we have a Games Designer challenge. Anyone wishing to participate is free to do so!

Rules has to be made by yourself. I think that's the only requirement.

So far the competition has spawned a football game

(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn279/AsgerSG/Game%20Design/IMG_1474-400.jpg)

a game set during the probition period in the US (alternative history setting)

(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m164/elThyge/VAS%20Reimperialism%20US/VRU053.jpg)

and even a game played with magnetic darts and arm wrestling!

THAT I have to see  :o

I am trying to assemble a delegation from my club in Svendborg (Skjold), but I DO expect at least myself to attend this year (if nothing jinxes my plans). I haven't signed up, yet, but shall do as soon as my paycheck for October arrives. Promise.

I might bring my beginners' Song of Blades and Heroes setup (requires only about 2x2m place, including space for standing/sitting (a single small table of almost any size set up in a corner will do)), if I feel up to it* (will then include my elevated table with space for rules, snacks, drinks, etc. UNDER the playing surface). And if I really go to town, I may bring minis for a game of Strange Aeons on the same table. Even Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten, if I get a few more minis painted for that purpose.

I'll let you know some days in advance if I bring something - but as stated, it won't require much space if I do.

EDIT:
Do you have a flyer or something that I may hand out/hang in my club?



*Am under medication for a light medical depression; sometimes I'm feeling ready to take on the World, at other times I'm feeling down and outright exhausted - currently we have nice sunny weather around here, and that really helps, but I cannot anticipate my 'down' periods.

A bit of news:
The webpage has been updated, so information is a bit more accessible.

Also, we have included a 4th category to the Golden Fish competition: "Sculpt". As the name emplies, this will be a match on your skills with the modelling putty and sculpting tools. Criteria are:
- Minimum 75 % pure sculpt
- Maximum scale is 30 mm

That's one sorry attempt at a Dannebrog...  >:D

I'll get my sign-up in this upcoming weekend - and if everything goes as planned, I'll be bringing 3 more guys in the family dropship.

I won't be participating with any demo-games - I'm far too busy searching the job-market, and really just need a couple of days' relaxation with games.

Just a note that the address this year is:

Sønderrishallen, Krebsens Kvarter 70, 6710 Esbjerg V.


And not the same as prior years. (same sort of building though)

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Really wish I could make this one, but I'm out of the country.

I'm certain that I can persuade you to entertain the idea of joining us next year then?
We're always eager to make new acquaintances and see their lead...  lol

I hope Tony on the Rapid Fire game doesn't cause you too much trouble this year ...

Neither Tony nor Rapid Fire signed up this year I'm afraid. T'was a fine looking display last year though,.

Actually, Tony and Gert are attending with Rapid Fire. They just signed up by email and not by the registration form, why they are not on the list yet.

I'm almost geared up. Will bring 3 painted cowboys for small quick trial-runs of Fistful of Lead, along with counters, measuring tapes, dice, dicecups, and playing cards (for activation), maybe my Treshold Team, and a bunch of 'alternative' rulesets for people to skim, and probably a couple of boardgames for Friday evening (if it's okay to play boardgames with unpainted coloured pawns/minis?)...

I'm as excited as a 5-year old on 23rd of December....  lol

Really, it's FAR too early this year - Advent should never occur outside December. Just doesn't feel right.

Sad to hear, you're not coming, but then maybe Kiel in 2012? I'll see if I can get that one squeezed into my budget, even if I'm unemployed at that time (which I hope, not).

Oh my, what a great weekend. There were some impressive tables, either by chosen rules (crushed all opponents in armwrestling close combat) or figures/terrain (thanks for hooking me on 15mm sci-fi  :o), location and food were splendid.

See you guys next year. Maybe we'll rent a truck to carry all of Frank's Sudan boards  :D

Whole-heartily agreed!

I got hooked on Air War C21, and shall have to get me the rules and some planes.  :D

I actually spent most of the weekend at that one table, but also managed to try TUSK (amother Wessex Games product, come to think of it... is there some red thread in this...?   :?)
