Yep, I think they've taken it to one of the shows?  I'll get some pics on the day.

Possibly?!  There's two guys and one of them is a Dave, but there's a lot of Daves about!

I haven't seen this one but it sounds a bit like the game they used to run as a participation event at Northern Militaire a long time ago - in 1/72 I think. The US Carrier was about 12ft long. No US escort or Japanese ships, just hordes of model planes attacking.

Of course this one may have the whole US Pacific Fleet, in which case at c8 feet per carrier, your car park may not be big enough! Looking forward to seeing the pics. :)

I hope it's not quite that big, as they've only got a 6x4 to play on!

Boo! A US carrier in 15mm should be about eight feet shouldn't it? Maybe it's the bijou version?

Another quick change as the Westerhope group aren't able to make it along, so the Redcar Ironbeards have stepped into the breach!

Only a few days away now so hope to see some of you Forum folk!  We're expecting 60-70 on the day so hopefully it'll be a good turnout.

Good timing, I've just put it up on our website!

Thanks to everyone who came along to our Summer Games Day, we had a thoroughly enjoyable day!  There were about 50 gamers who came along over the course of the day, many of them playing several of the games and some staying for the full 7 hours!  We'd also like to thank all of the clubs and individuals who provided the entertainment, we really appreciate you taking the time to come along and run your games.

We didn't get many pics during the day, but here's a quick shot of all of the games:

Aces High - WWI Aerial


Bird is the Word - 28mm Vietnam


Blood Red Skies - WWII Aerial


King Arthur - 28mm Medieval


Lion Rampant - 28mm Medieval


Mobius Mayhem - Sci-Fi


Turkey Hunting - 54mm F&I Wars


We're hoping to make this an annual event so we'll be doing it all again next summer!

Aw! What happened to the aircraft carrier?
Looks like a good day though.

They couldn't make it sadly so we had to bring in the reserves!
