1813 weekender game in Derby March 2012

Post by barr7430 » Thu Nov 24, 2011 12:31 pm

We are really starting to get organized on this event now and want to make it as successful as the weekenders we've been running in Scotland.

To offer a flavour of the quality of the table here are some fantastic views of Adrian's stunning work:

The 1813 table will be of this calibre and the troops are from a combination of my own, Ade's and Bob's collections.

We have several confirmed bookings already so if you are interested in getting onboard and experience R2E on some of the best terrain on the circuit, get it touch..

More info soon

Just checked... I would be free that weekend. Only problem is... There are only direct flights to Birmingham from around my place and EMI. Anyone passing by Birmingham airport who could pick me up? Otherwise it would be a one stop in Frankfurt that would take me 8 hours each way.

THX,

seems to be shaping up now! Adrian tells me the numbers are increasing by the week. Looks like I'll have to get painting Prussians (again) :roll:

Things hotting up a bit on this potentially excellent event now. We hve critical mass in terms of players, Ade is busy building the terrain. Some of us are painting new stuff for the event.

I now have confirmation that Wargames Illustrated will be there probably Friday/Saturday to do photos for inclusion in the mag and I am hopeful that we might also have some other hobby 'names' attending either as players or guests.

There may even be an opportunity to pick up some product from a couple of manufacturers if things pan out the way we plan. 8)

.......I've just got my 'Deep Blue Paints' out of retirement to do some 'artillery park' vignettes for my Prussian 12lbs.....I will have to use slightly 'lighter hues' for the 2 French Officers captured by some gallant Landwehr!!!!!! (Pictures to follow - once done!)

....I've also posted some 'pics' of my Prussian Horse Artillery team (that I've just touched up') in the ...What Are You Working On? section of the website.....comments welcome....

Awaiting official confirmation from Ade but I think Derby is just about full. That's nice!
