Okeydokey - I've got 2 tables booked at Legionary:
http://legionaryshow.co.uk/
So, this year:
1] 8-10ft x 4-6ft: BKCII: 10mm - likely to be USMC v Japanese [with kiwidave & hopefully SteveJ]
2] 6ft x 4ft: CWC: 3mm - either South Ossetia 2008 *or* a "what-if" Sweden v Russia 1995 *or* Gulf War I
Who's in? If needs be, I can book more tables...would be good to have some more 10mm featured - it's a great, friendly show - and I can happily supply armies etc if people want to use them...
Just to confirm that Kiwidave & I will be slugging it out over Iwo Jima - details here: http://kiwidave.pbworks.com/w/page/39598070/Iwo-Jima
See you there..?

I'll be in Falkirk manning two stands and waiting in anticipation for pics of your game!

Falkirk & Exeter: end-to-end stuff eh? :)
I'll bung the netbook in my bag - if the venue's got a connection I can
steal access, we'll have it sussed as we go 8)
Hosting Rollcall at my school in Cranfield, sorry! :(

That'd be cool, I'm hoping to do something similar on the Pendraken stand in the future, so that people can browse the website and place orders for stuff we don't have with us.

Cool - then a netbook [nice & light & portable & won't dominate your space] is your friend - my nice new one would do the trick & it's dropped to £180 now = bargain [here: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/packard-bell-dot-s2-uk-003-netbook-black-04328069-pdt.html ]

Oooh, cheers for that! I might start dropping hints to Lynne then after Triples! I'm wanting to get a Dongle as well (Premier Inn Wi-Fi is ridiculously expensive!), and then I can check the Forum when we've got no customers... and post pics of the show while we're there!
What's the battery life like on it?
Leon, sorry to butt in but did you get my ammended Falkirk order?

Look at me
not making any comment about you & your Dongle ;)
Battery life is about 3.5 - 4 hrs really - pretty good; although of course if you pay more dosh you can double that...
I'm going to be there for a while, have to leave at about 1pm due to child birthday party - at least I can throw some dice on Nik's tables, generate some chaos and then feel like a job well done.

Top-notch - it'll be good to see you 8)
And he can teach you how to not lose all your tanks in two turns... ;D
Tanks? Ha - he's a RM Major - he doesn't fecking need tanks ;D
And whaddya mean two turns? That's just slacking...
Right - Kiwidave's doing a proper batrep on his wiki & my camera seemed to not like the light very much - but here's some quick pics from our cracking game- Iwo Jima, WW2 - with remarkably little annoying commentary from me ;) :

Nice pics! Where are the bunkers from?
Kiwidave made them - he's clever like that :)
I was impressed with the detail the 3mm stuff had. Very tempting.....
And those two, giggling like schoolgirls over the smoke....honestly =)

Oh mate - it
was funny though...and I seem to remember laughing out loud as much as giggling ;D
Aye it was - and I did feel sufficiently silly....lesson learnt though! :)
