Moving to Northern England, What's Everyone Playing?
« on: September 29, 2009, 02:43:33 PM »
Tomorrow's the day. I'm moving to Durham tomorrow and I'm wondering what I should bring, miniature wise. I'm going to have to be spartan with what I bring with me, as it is not feasible to ship any substantial number of figures over. I plan on bringing some painting supplies and a fair number of unpainted figures, as these are easy to store.

I was wondering what everyone in and around Durham is gaming at the moment, so I can bring the appropriate painted figures.

Thanks,
-Joe

Good luck with the move mate.

I'm a bit far from Durham so I can't be of any real help, but I'm sure you'll enjoy your time there.

Land of the Prince Bishops. Beautiful place.Can only speak of our own small group. WW2 Skirmish games, Pulp (1920s and interwar), Blackpowder skirmish and Near future/horror games too. Most of our games comprise 3-30 figures tops per side. Hope the move goes well and welcome to our glorious County! ;)

Sounds like a good chance to start with HRE's move, Billy-no-mates!

That's cruel!!

(It may be the truth, but it's still cruel)

Durham is a lovely county. I've lived away but I had to come back.

I just like to play matchmaker, I know how difficult it is moving to a new area and finding like-minded souls.

Good grief. You're moving to Durham. Westfalia Chris has moved to Hull. I didn't realise the NE corner of England had such academic gravitational pull...

Sounds to me like you need to form a LAF exiles club!  ;)

I know mate, it's a common problem, but it does sound like you could be the hub for a little LAF collective over there.

It's ages since I've injected stale baked beans, that takes me back.  :o
