Dear All,
we have to start somewhere so the best place is close to home!
The first weekender with be
17 & 18 April 2010 and the venue will be
The Lundin Links Hotel, Lundin Links (near Leven)
right on the beautiful Fife Coast.
For those travelling from the south this is immediately across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh so the journey time by road is probably Edinburgh + 40 minutes.
We have a special deal from the hotel which is:
2 lunches, breakfast + dinner plus a twin room for £60 all in or a single room at £75. For those wishing to travel up on the Friday night we can get a price for a further night B&B from the hotel.
Residential is not mandatory so gamers who live nearer and want to commute can attend also.
This is a turn up and play game. It will be very much like playing a League of Augsburg game as all the troops will be provided and come from my own and some friends collections.
The game will be an umpire driven scenario based around
The Battle of Waterloo
For those who have Republic to Empire just turn up with your rules, tapes and dice.
For those without the rules you will be able to get them at the game at a special price of £20.00. There will also be special deals on counter sets.
The game will commence at 0930 on Saturday with a short briefing session. We'll play till lunch, break to eat and then resume play till about 1930. We'll adjourn for dinner and then play a final move or two after dinner. Sunday will begin at 0930 with the usual break for lunch and final moves about 1500 hours.
The total cost to play for 2 days is £50 excluding accommodation, meals and rules(if you have to buy them!)
The plan is to run similar events elsewhere in the country but the rates may not be so attractive!
If you want to come along please email me on

and let me know what you need in terms of accommodation etc.
Also let me know if you have a preference to be French or Allied!
