Pendraken's 20th Birthday Bash!

[DancingPotPlant]

Out of curiousity, will there be opportunities to purchase single figures?
I am wanting to put together games for which I don't need 30 foot but maybe 10 max and in some cases less. Will this be ok?

Thanks
Tom

So for those of us in other parts of the world any chance of us being able to purchase goodies at birthday bash prices 

Nothing planned at the moment I'm afraid.     The website isn't built for allowing discounts, so to reduce the prices on there would mean manually changing them all.  We can run a script to do the main prices, but it's still a good 5-6 hours of work to do the others.

As much as it's a bit poo for the overseas folk, if we had the discount and put the special figures straight on the website, then it might dissuade some people from bothering to come to the event.  There needs to be some incentives for people to come along.

That being said, I'll have a think and see what we can do.

We can provide smaller quantities, no bother at all, but you'd need to place a pre-order, as we wouldn't have them with us on the day.

More game details added to the Border Reiver's SCW game, and Rubicon's Pacific game!

That's all the games finalised now, so we've got 3 participation games to keep people occupied throughout the day, and 5 display games of pure 10mm awesomeness!  There are still a few more things to be announced yet, so keep an eye open for those!

Leon,

I'll probably bring my WW2 stuff along incase the AWI game finishes quickly and we want a different game.

Nice one Gavin - I was hoping to get some BKC gaming - is that what you do in WW2?

[GavinP]

It is indeed BKC that I play. As I say though, it's a backup rather than the main event. I don't have an idea how many people are going to turn up and play, how long it'll take and at the moment whether I'll get all the units I need to get painted done in time!

looks like a nice selection of events, most regular cons only wish they could be so lucky.

I'm a bit surprised there's not more participation games.

Goat Major and I had a playtest today to get familiar with the rules which went rather well although I had to field a number of card proxy bases for units still to be painted. Think we both got the gist of the rules and I know I'm now very revved up and ready to go for the weekend.

There's still space for one or two more, I'll throw out some feelers and see if anyone else wants to bring something along.  Getting close now though, only 3 weeks to go!

Just found an un opened bottle of Glenmorangie, i'll make sure I drop it (carefully) into my bag and bring it with me

It would be a shame to drink it at home on my own, better to share a wee drop amongst friends.

During a recent games room tidy up I unearthed a couple of bottles I was given as a gift - 10 yr old Aberlour and a 15 yr old Dalwhinnie, both Highland Malts - (my favourites are Islay Malts; Laphroaig, Bowmore that kind of thing). I'll pack them in case the whisky bunch decide to have a bit of a session.....

[GavinP]

I suspect I'm going to need to pack some paracetamol at this rate!

[Leon]

If anyone would like anything specific bringing along to the Bash, please make sure to let us know before Sunday 8th, to give us time to get it cast up for you!

[Leon]

In other news, unfortunately Forum member Bernie is unable to make it along to the event, as he's moving house on the same day!  So we won't have the Realtime Wargamers display at the show.

This does mean that we may be able to fit another game in though, so let me know if you'd be interested in doing something!

[Leon]

And the curry is now sorted!  There's around 15 of us going to be there, and I've got us booked in at 8pm, which should hopefully be late enough for anyone travelling up.  Let me know if you won't be there in time, and I can tweak the timings.

Here's the menu as well, so that you can browse it, decide on something, and then completely change your mind when you get there... or is that just me?!

The restaurant is called Jolsha, post code TS7 8DU.  It's literally a 5-minute walk from the Bash venue, so we can meet at the hotel and have a walk up if everyone's feeling up to it!  If not, transport can be provided!
