WAB1.5 Shieldwall Gaming weekend 2017 UK

[Dave Toone]

Do you miss playing historical mass battles?

Do you enjoy exciting, brutal wargaming?

Have you got a painted army gathering dust?

Then why not reignite your passion for Mass Battle Wargames!

Put aside your warbands and gather the entire might of your army for the epic conflicts that lay ahead. Let your mighty heroes stand once more at the head of their troops before they slip into distant memory. Bring hundreds instead of dozens of warriors to fight epic battles, then tell the exaggerated tales of those battles to any fool that will listen!

Now is the time to put aside your fear, banish all doubts and book your place in the Warhammer Ancient battles, Shieldwall event.

Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th August 2017

The theme for both days will be:
The Dark Ages in the British Isles.
Using the WAB 1.5 rulebook and the SHIELDWALL supplement.
Players can book for either a single days gaming or both days.

What you will need to bring:
A 2000pt fully painted army from The Shieldwall period supplement.
A tape measure and plenty of D6!

The venue:
Coddington Village Hall, Main Street, Coddington, Nottingham, NG24 2PN.

How Many Games will there be?
We'll play three games on each day.

How much will it cost?
The cost is £15 GBP for a single day or £25 GBP for both days.

Payment is required in advance via paypal to: david.toone@yahoo.co.uk and must be received no later than 30th July 2017.
Lunch, Tea, Coffee and snacks will be provided on both days and are inclusive in the price.

If you like the idea of a day or two of gaming simply for the pleasure of it along with some like minded people, please get in touch either via the Warhammer Ancient Battles Facebook group or via email at: david.toone@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks for looking and I hope to see you there!

Some of us have booked into the Newark premier Inn for our first WAB1.5 event in August:

http://www.premierinn.com/…/eng…/nottinghamshire/newark.html

A weekend of wargaming is often as much about meeting up with friends new and old for the evening meal and a few pints together after the days battles. For those that are considering coming along, put your doubts aside, book the time off work/home life, and ready your armies for the great battles ahead!

Even if you're not able to do a full weekend, each day can be booked separately and will follow the same format, so will be well worth the effort.

The plan is to play three scenarios from the rulebook on each day, with each pre-set as a 6 turn game.

Game 1 - Meeting Engagement
Game 2 - Surprise Attack
Game 3 - Pitched Battle

Payment for either a single days gaming (£15) or the weekend (£25) can be sent to me as a friends and family Paypal payment using david.toone@yahoo.co.uk. The cost includes lunch and snacks for each day.

Hope to see you there for some real wargaming!

Damn! I would have liked to come, but just in that time, I'll start a new job and won't be able to take holiday (and I live in Germany, so I would need to).

Good Luck with the event, and hopefully you will be able to repeat it!

Shame you can't make it this time, but the plan is to do another next year, so keep your eye out for the dates! :-)

Four weeks to go until the gaming weekend at Coddington! I hope those that have booked are preparing their armies in readiness for a weekend of slaughter!

Anyone that's interested in coming to this friendly WAB1.5 gaming event, you're more than welcome to come along for some great wargaming for either a single day or both days.

This is not a tournament, but a rather a great way to play some games against new opponents and armies!

Why not give it a try and join in the fun!
