Big squarebasing game – Proposal

[Simon Clarke]

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

[Simon Clarke]

Hi Simon, count me in, I have no figures to contribute but like to give it a go.
Cheers
Si, the whine man.

moved from the blog to the forum

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

[Simon Clarke]

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.

[Simon Clarke]

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.

Andy

[Simon Clarke]

Ok Andy you’re in.. No figures required !:-)

[Simon Clarke]

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

[Simon Clarke]

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
