Title: 15th-17th of November Horisont V (Danish Wargaming Convention)
Post by: Dr. The Viking on September 23, 2013, 07:20:51 AM: (http://www.horisontesbjerg.dk/images/hs_banner.png)

The 15th to 17th of November we will be hosting the fifth annual Horisont.

This year we've grown up and moved from our safe home in Esbjerg to the fair city of Silkeborg.

The convention is other than that completely unchanged. lol

More information will be attainable on our web site soon. As will registration.

Like that the traveltime for those coming from the south is a mere 20 minutes longer.

Well, I hope so.

Title: Re: 15th-17th of November Horisont V (Danish Wargaming Convention)
Post by: Argonor on October 13, 2013, 08:56:49 AM: Payment completed, and I've asked my regular gaming pal, if he would like to come along. He had to give it consideration, though.

I'll be landing the Speeder Friday afternoon, and I might bring along a 90cm x 90cm black (space) table and Star Wars: X-wing if theres a small corner I can place it in and run a few demos?

It's a game that can be learned in 10 minutes, so I can probably let interested players play it while I do something else, too :)

Post by: GilmoreDK on October 13, 2013, 04:22:30 PM: Rats! We had calculated on attending again this year with In Clouds of Glory. But the date is unfortunately smack on top of DFF con at the Danish War Museum in Copenhagen where we have committed already.. I will return next year. Also: Silkeborg. More central venue. Should easier to get attendance... Have fun!

Yes that was really a fantastic outing. Who'd have thought that smaller rooms could give so much more. lol

Unfortunately the rooms are at maximum 60 people, so we probably can't be the same place next year. :(

The crazy viking is also one of the main locomotives behind the convention, methinks.

If you ever plan a vacation i Europe late fall, make sure to check it out; it's not big, but it's so full of all the good mood that totally lacks from GW tournaments.
