Looking forward to seeing a few fellow denizens of this forum this weekend*. On our OWS BBB table we will be running:

Saturday:
ECW - Inverkeithing (in 2mm)
Austro-Prussian War - Langensalza (1866), with Pendraken figures    O:-)

Sunday:
ACW - Antietam (in 6mm)

These are all participation games. The Saturday games are small short ones that should be over in 90 minutes, while Antietam may get played twice or may spin out all day, depending on players' inclinations. But anyone is welcome to drop in and try any of these games for as short or long as suits you; we'll try to be flexible and accommodate everyone who's interested in whatever way is convenient.

Enjoy the show!

I assume that Dave will be conspicuous by his absence from the stand as he "networks " (drinking coffees, eating pies and chatting to all and sundry)?  ;)

See You and Adele there.  :)

He's not with us at all this year, just me and Adele for this one.  He's planning on going to Cliff's for a bit of gaming though, so they might make an appearance on the Sunday as punters.

HA! I was right. Just make sure you don't give him a discount  ;)

Well I had a good day at Warfare

I played the Bloody Big Battles ECW game in 2mm put on by Bruce and lost

I played Bloody Big Battles 1866 Langensalza in 10mm and lost

I chatted to Cad at 4Ground - they've finally realised that 28mm isn't the one true scale and that 10mm is the way forward!

And I had a chat with Leon and Adele about the short comings of the English education system  :o

Numbers seem a bit down but I still rate this as the best show of the year
