Great War gaming day- March Saturday 13- Nottinghamshire
The date is booked.
Will set up an online application just to help us with catering and planning.
Basis of day.
Great War In Italy 1918 so we can use all the Late War armies and have the option for Allied and Central Powers offensives.
Bring armies, put on table- game, have a good time. One side gets bragging rights until the next time
Yes there will be a bit more structure than that but its a good start. Please let me know what you can bring.
We will have a big table with the main assualts and some smaller scenarios going on. Troops can then be rotated in and out of the main assault.
Rules will be the modified Great War ones on the big game (as found on this site), and "up to you" on the smaller scenarios but I would recommend either great War or "Through the Mud/Blood" for ease of commonality.
If you only have a small force, bring them, and I am sure there will be a few spares around.
More game details to follow next week.
The venue is the WI Hall, Station Road Bingham NG13. Its about 20 metres from Bingham train station. If coming from Kings X/St Pancreas, go to Grantham and get a train across as its lots quicker than going into Nottingham train station.
Lots of buses from Nottingham to Bingham though and depart at the market square by the coop, there is a bunch of shops and station road is more or less opposite.
Hall booked 9am to 5pm. Probably look at getting set up and first games under way around 10.
As theres a kitchen (and big heaters if theres a cold snap) we may do some hot food, even its a pie or pasty or some form of hot sandwich..
Actually we will open with tea, coffee and doughnuts
Lunch will be a mix of sandwiches, pasty, crisps etc
There will be cold drinks and tea/coffee most of the day.
Any odd food requests please let us know
Cost will be £7.70 in total and you can pay on line once I have set it up. The entrance fee shown on the web will be £7 plus the 10% postage that adds automatically when ordering online. I am doing this way to save hassle on the web store but there won't be a ticket, just let us know names if you are buying for more than one person. In the unlikely event some one from overseas wants to enter we will refund the difference on the day.
Pre booking helps us plan the catering and what to set up.
Visitors on the day will have to take their chances on any food being available for sale.
I hope to have a few other games going on, possibly some WW2/Projekt X if all goes to plan.
