That's a halal salad... 

Is anyone still going to be around on Saturday night as well ?

I've booked my hotel room this evening - not long to go now...!! Looking forward to putting faces to fellow forum members, hosting a game, eating curry and enjoying a few whiskies..
My game is good to go apart from a few bases of palm trees which are sitting on my painting desk in my new (smaller  ) games room - the youngest has just made the transition from cot to bed and that, along with all of his favourite toys/activities, needed increased floor space. Still, less room for clutter, so maybe it's for the best...


Anyway,

Game Details:

"A Bridge (or two) too far!?"

A participation game for 2 players - familiarity with the BKC rules would be useful.
A small USMC force attempts to seize river crossings in the face of determined Japanese resistance.
Will the right reinforcements arrive in time to help you fulfil your mission?
BKC II rules
Prizes for best commanders on the day.

I'll be heading home late Saturday afternoon - my gaming club are doing a 2-day game (Leipzig I think) the following weekend - I don't think I could wrangle 2x 2-days passes that close together!!

Oh - and we have this tradition of over-ordering, being hugely optimistic on the amount & heat (spice) of the food that we would like to eat.

Usually fuelled by the over-ordering of alcohol previously, during, and after the afore-mentioned curry 

I know my limits - at least as far as curry is concerned....

Hi Rubicon

I'll be sitting and watching your game - not exactly familiar with BKC yet so it will be a good learning opportunity - looking forward to the day!

We'll be around, so we can sort something out there if you like.  I believe AndyMac is staying over for two nights as well?

If anyone wants to come visit Pendraken HQ on the Sunday, we'll be throwing the doors open to anyone who wants to come down.

well i'll probably staying with my folks in Marton that night so if there were still people around then i would have popped by - but no need to do anything just for me since i can always treat my dad to a pint instead

AndyMac will be there, so you two could discuss the intricacies of AWI uniforms... 

Have fun lads!

I was bored...please read in Ollivier or Brannagh type voice

This day is called the Birthday Bash
He that outlives this day and comes safe home
Will stand a-tiptoe when this day is named
And rouse him at the name of  Pendraken.
He that shall see this day and live t' old age
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours
And say, "Tomorrow is Pendraken's Birthday."
Then will he open his figures box and show his broken spears
And say, "These wounds I had on that day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with his dice rolls
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words â€"
Techno, Clib and Nic
Nosher and Lemmy, Goat Major and Leon â€"
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.
This story shall the good man teach his son,
And  Pendraken's Birthday  shall ne'er go by
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we 10mm gamers.
For he today that shared his curry with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition.
And gentlemen in Gaming Clubs now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That gamed with us upon Pendrakens  21st Birthday

Superb! How long did that take?
That Shakespeare quote engine had it's effect.
just wish i could be there to cheer it aloud whence it is oratored to the crowds!

Blimey we have a true Bard ! I too am now expecting a live oration 

Umm it took about 5 minutes to be honest...though I have to say that most of the words arent mine , there by some 'writer' of little fame

And yes the Shakespeare quote engine gave me inspiration
