Bash Day update – 11 March 2023

Dear All

Here is the latest update for BBB Bash Day, 09:00-17:00, 1st July 2023, at
Leeds Wargames Club, Hicks Hall, 60 Bankfield Terrace, Burley, Leeds LS4 2JR.

1.   Dedicated email.  We've set up an email for booking the BBB Bash day.  The address is:  bbb.bashday@gmail.com
2.   We are now opening the sign up lists for games – just send an email and we'll add you to a game.  As this is early, everyone should get their first choice.  We'll book people in to the morning session unless notified otherwise. (The idea is that each game should be run twice, morning and afternoon.)
3.   We're pleased to announce that Bruce McCallum will be bringing his 28mm Zulu game.  Chris Pringle recently provided an AAR on the "Bloody Big Battles" blog.  Bruce is offering Isandlwana or Nyezane.  It looks fun!

List of games so far:
Napoleonic – Lutzen (1813) (this may change)
Anglo Sikh War – Gujrat (1849)
Crimean War – Inkerman
ACW – 2nd Manassas
ACW – Chancellorsville
Austro-Prussian War – Kissingen
Franco-Prussian – Sedan
Zulu War – Isandlwana or Nyezane

We still have room for more games, so if you are thinking of hosting a game, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We trust that this is clear. If not, let us know. Please sign up now!

Cheers

Chris and Colin

Well, that was a splendid day, indeed a splendid weekend. Colin has done a blog post about it here:

I believe Pendraken figures are in action on the Kissingen (1866) table.
