'World' Wargames?

Isn't that a bit like the US baseball 'World' Series?



Not very British eh? 
Should be called 'Parochial Mucking About in Sheds'.

Hehe...

[Gennorm]

There have been teams from as far away as South Africa competing so somewhat more international than the said rounders tournament. I hope the conference centre is a bit bigger than a shed. It wouldn't really be a conference centre if it isn't.

[Luddite]

I dunno...i've seen some pretty impressive sheds.

And as South Africa is part of the British Empire i'd hardly call that 'international'.

In the past Leicester would put up 3 teams for the Worlds at Derby.

I've played Italian, Irish and French opponents who all who came over for the competition.

I was rather miffed at the French chap, he beat my Christian Nubians with a Hundred Years War Enlish army. What a cheek!! 

This was in the days when DBM were the main competition rules. Love em or hate em it enabled the worlds to be international. I don't think the Worlds has the same impact these days because there are a number of rule sets in main line use.


Cheers, Rob

I haven't seen them since it was at the Assembly Rooms. Maybe they lost their SAA sponsorship. Was the restaurant called "Amigo's"? If so I went there once and it was very good. I tried to book a table for a group of us one year and found it was fully-booked despite me ringing over a week before.

Mmm...Mexican food (and TexMex) is lovely.
