Hastings 950

[Andy Dumelow]

Should we be doing something to mark this on or around Oct 14th? Or even a mini campaign including Gate Fulford (20th Sept) and Stamford Bridge (Sept 25th). FOG or MeG must be favourite. I feel a bit sheepish suggesting this as I can’t supply any of the figures!

[Simon Clarke]

I have a comprehensive armies for Saxons, Vikings and Normans in 15mm, so I could provide all the figures for a reasonable size game.

I could organise ‘club night’ night sizes games for MeG using the doubles format. So that could accommodate 4 players… which is a typical club night anyway

Would there be interest in that?

here is what I suggest

Wow that looks great. I also have a number of Vikings let me know if you need anything.
Bob

[Andy Dumelow]

Yes – that’s more or less what I had envisaged handed out on a plate! I think we need players who know whatever rule system you decide on pretty well as Hardrada, Harold and William. Hardrada and Harold should also be able to commit to two games (Fulford and Stamford, Stamford and Hastings respectively). Other commands could be taken up as required and wouldn’t necessarily involve just 4 players committing to three games. I’m available from 22nd Sept to take any minor role available. I’m actually looking forward to this – I can’t believe it almost passed us by.

[Simon Clarke]

What about October 6th (Thur) for the 1st game?

we have Pete, Bob, yourself and me expressed an interest – so thats enough already

[Bob Amey]

October 6th is good for me.

Bob Amey

[Andy Dumelow]

Yep.
6th Oct is ok by me as well.

[Simon Clarke]

OK 6th we’ll do Fulford Bridge. We should make it look nice – so I can photograph and document it, so I can do an accompanying review for release alongside the supplement

[Simon Clarke]

How about 10th Nov for the next battle – Stamford bridge?

I’ll try to make it a bit easier to organise the troops and help with the fight

thanks
Simon

[Andy Dumelow]

The 10th is ok by me.

[Simon Clarke]

Hi, just a note to say I’m pencilling in the next game – Harald (Vikings) vs William (Normans) for the 8th Dec – otherwise it will be next year!

[Andy Dumelow]

Simon,
The 8th is ok for me. It would be one of the great ‘what ifs’ of history if Harald won again as I doubt the Normans would have the strength to make a second attempt at conquest.

[Bob Amey]

I cannot make the 8th as I am already playing Ray.
