    Hi,

    I was thinking about orgainising a big multiplayer Squarebashing game either one Thursday or possibly a 1 day game close to Christmas.

    My Germans are now are kitting out for 1915, as I believe are Denes, so we should at least get 1 1915 game in before the end the year (and our plan for gaming the war year by year)

    SO, interested? post here

    so we have Peter & Simon…

    How do we book the room, or at least find availability for Dec? I think it might be too much for a Thu as its tight doe 3hrs at best

    Nominally this will be based on the Anglo/French attacking in the Third Battle of Artois (sept 1915 – close to our anniversary date)

    so the British First army (60k) , French Tenth Army (48K) vs German Sixth army (50K).

    We could either play ‘regular’ for attack /defense and go through the countdown to battle.

    Or if we just have a Thu, cut that and make the Allies ‘attack in force’ and play the quicker game (but just bigger)

    with an 8 player game in mind we’ll need 4 Germans and 4 allied at 620 pts per player

    German figures
    Simon
    Dene
    Ray

    Allied
    Dene (French)
    Pete (French)
    Ray (British)
    Simon (British)

    I’ve bought some French as well and we might have to fudge some 1914 into 1915 (just say they are in transition)..

    So actually we might be short for Germans ! has anyone else got any Germans? In picklehaube?

    thanks
    Simon

    Hi Simon,

    just to confirm that I have enough EW Germans to effectively field 2 x 620 point armies. I’ll email you a schedule.

    Big Game update.

    We’re trying to move the day to 21 or 22 November to allow Dene to attend. Colin is just confirming this with Carol.

    Figures we are now sorted

    Germans
    Dene 1 620
    Simon 1 620
    Rays 2x 620

    Allies
    Pete French 620
    Dene French 620
    Simon French 620
    Simon British 620
    Ray British 620

    so we are good for up to 8 players – not that that is likely.

    Participants I have so far are Pete, Ray, Simon , Dene , and maybe the 2 lads from Mansfields. I’ve not heard from anyone else. But there is still more space! Let me know

    Hi,
    I’d like to join in if possible and should be able to make either of the suggested dates. Sorry but no figures to contribute.

    Hi,

    OK its fallen down a bit on dates. There is no weekend that everyone (with figures) can make and we can book the room…. SO.. I suggest we move the big SB game to a Thursday (which was touted early on). We just need to prepare in advance a bit and crack on. Should be do-able. So I’m going to propose
    Thu 26th Nov – How about that?

    There is no reason we cant do a 1 day game of something else on 12/13 Dec (so an early Xmas type affair) … or some other date. If is wintery enough for this Ardennes FOW that people talk about? We have a few winter mats now
    I will asked around tomorrow

    To confirm the big SB game is Thu 26th Nov.

    The room is booked on Saturday 12th Dec for a one day game. there is nothing organised as such so looking for a proposal.

    Options –
    WW2 Ardennes game for the winter
    I could look at organising a big Samurai battle, I think we could must 4-5 armies now (I have 2) so that might be unusual.

    open to ideas
