My aim is to attend Colours this year, but am still awaiting info as to whether I will be a punter or helping out on a demo game. For those planning on going to the show, there is a pdf show guide on the link below:

Hopefully I might get to see some of you there. Note to self: send in an order to collect at the show!

I will be there for the first time in several years. I will be involved in running the Liverpool Wargames  Association Flames of War participation game.

Just realised that the show guide is listed as for last year :-. Have contacted them to see if this is this years guide, but with a date typo, or not.

Does anyone know of any demo games being put on this year? I know on the The Wargames Website they still had space available a month or so ago, which is unusual. Hope there are some good games as that's my main reason for attending!

Hoping to make it again this year, but need to work out the logistics - the three youngest sproggs will probably want to come, but my best gaming buddy can't make it this year. I'll either have to sneak out alone when no-one's looking or twist my wife's arm to come help with riot control!  =) 8-}

Cheers!

Well Steve, if you fancy trying to stop a German hospital train departing Stalingrad, as I said earlier I shall be there.

Will definitely pop by and say 'hello' Leman :).

I can't make it myself this year, but there will be a BBB participation game - I think it might be Gettysburg.

I can now confirm that Crispin Matson will be running Gettysburg at Colours. The game covers all three days of the battle. Anyone interested in participating for however short or long a time, or in watching for a bit, or just in having a chat or saying hello - please do!

Looking forward to seeing that Chris. Won't be able to play as running a participation Stalingrad game (gasps from the assembled crowd)!

Great to hear the Gettysburg game is confirmed. Still nothing on their website about the demo games, which is not good IMHO :(

Thanks, Andy. Have fun at Stalingrad! (As someone probably said sardonically in 1942. In German.)
