Same from me Guys !
And Happy Birthday Nik !!
I was hoping to get a chance to come down....But the best laid plans etc....(Sigh !)
Cheers - Phil.

Thanks all - the fun starts around midday tomorrow with set-up (I've now got to dive into work in the AM...grr...) - with folks landing through the afternoon...some nice relaxed gaming & beers into the evening, then full-steam-ahead for Saturday & Sunday...

Going to be a good one 

All together now:

Happy MADfest dear Nik,
Happy MADfest dear Nik,
Happy MADfest dear Ni hik,
Happy MADfest to you!




And a happy birthday, too! 

They? Who are these people?

Well, a cracking weekend has resulted in some happy-but-knackered wargamers 

I'm in the process of editing pics etc and will do a 'proper' account in due course (hopefully this week) but suffice to say immediately that a good time was had by all, some great games played (with some epic moments) - including a Friday-night "Escape from Colditz" - and that the prize fund was superbly supported by Pendraken and Minibits: so huge thanks to Dave & Leon for their continued support of this one: from entry fees, painting competition fees and the raffle it looks like we've got a donation of £173 which will go directly into the Welfare Fund of 40 Commando, Royal Marines: our local boys, who are currently on deployment in Afghan.

Superb - specific highlights for me include SteveJ's AVBCW game (using BKC II) which featured my road & the ground on which my house stands, and a great FPW game using my Pendraken armies...lovely!

Pics and more details to come...

Plenty of pics and a brief write up of the day which will hopefully give you all a feel of the day.

Make me jealous that I couldn't get there....Why don't you ?
So pleased for all, that it went well.
Maybe next year........
Cheers - Phil

So when do we get to see pics of your Prussians getting mullered by my cheese-eating surrender monkeys?

Patience is a virtue, my friend.

Boasting shamelessly about beating me with historically inferior forces in open battle is not.

You're hardly the person to lecture me about patience! :p
