For anyone in the north-east or surrounding areas, join us at Pendraken HQ on Saturday 22nd July for a full day of gaming!

We'll have 7 different participation games for you to try, including WWI aerial, WWII, Vietnam, Sci-Fi and more.  Each game will last 45-60 minutes so you can potentially play all 7 in one day.

We'll have snacks and drinks available, so hope to see some of you there.

EDIT: Game details added below.

Unfortunately I would spend longer driving there than time available to play, according to Route Planner. :'(
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I've got the details back from most of the 7 games so I'll start announcing those this coming week.  We've got a nice selection so far with WWI aerial, WWII naval, F&I War, Vietnam, Sci-Fi and more.

We're a month away from our Big Summer Games Day and we've now got the details of all the games on offer!  Each of these takes less than 60 minutes so you'll be able to play all 7 in one day if you like!

Yep, I think they've taken it to one of the shows?  I'll get some pics on the day.

Possibly?!  There's two guys and one of them is a Dave, but there's a lot of Daves about!

I haven't seen this one but it sounds a bit like the game they used to run as a participation event at Northern Militaire a long time ago - in 1/72 I think. The US Carrier was about 12ft long. No US escort or Japanese ships, just hordes of model planes attacking.

Of course this one may have the whole US Pacific Fleet, in which case at c8 feet per carrier, your car park may not be big enough! Looking forward to seeing the pics. :)

I hope it's not quite that big, as they've only got a 6x4 to play on!

Boo! A US carrier in 15mm should be about eight feet shouldn't it? Maybe it's the bijou version?
