a little update on the planning process for our D-DAY adventure.
We will now be using two scales over the weekend(but not at the same time!).
DAY 1:The beach landings will be done in 15mm using Flames of War. This will have a follow on breakout phase using a configuration of the same table.
DAY 2: An inland game using 28mm figures will constitute the second phase of the weekend. This will be on a different tavble set up.
Almost all of the models will be provided by myself and members of the EK Wargaming group who have very kindly agreed to 'lend' us there stuff. I think it only fair if we change that to 'lend-lease'. I would expect a nominal £5 contribution per head from all attendees to cover this favour and potenitally pay for any damages/repairs that may be required. The EK chaps HAVE NOT asked for it incidentally - my idea.
To share the load on this occasion I have also asked a special guest to come along and help umpire over the weekend. Gary ' Big Gazza' Martin is an extremely talented modeller and painter, expert in the rule set FoW and a rather nice chap too. He is also contributing a huge number of the models we are playing with. Gary is a regular visitor to this site and forum. Examples of his work can be found here in the forum and elsewhere in the galleries. There is also a link to his site from my links section Peter McCarroll is painting some stuff for the game. Andrew Thomson and Dale too. There is absolutely no pressure on any other members of the troupe to do anything but turn up and enjoy.
Places on this one are definitely on a first come first serve basis. Confirmations so far:
Colin Jack
Angus Konstam
Peter Nicholson
Andrew Nicholson
Kevin Calder
Andrew Thomson
Adrian Howe
Dale Smith
Mike Anderson
Charles Grant
Paul Mclauchlin
Peter McCarroll
Bob Lauder
Umpiring:
Barry Hilton
Gary Martin
Dave O Brien is a doubtful but will let us know asap.
I reckon if Dave is on for the weekend then we have a full house. If not we could squeeze in one more head but above that things will become a bit unmanagable.
Will keep you all posted through this thread.
Cheers

be attending the next game. Apart from my daughters annual ballet show which had been the original stumbling block I had completely forgotten about my mate (Cokes) wedding on the 16th so while you're up in sunny Kirrie Barry I'll be through in rainy EK.
