League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Is anyone going to Triples this year? I'm from Houston but will be in London over the weekend. If people from the Forum are going, I'll make the trip to Sheffield; otherwise, I'll stay in London and do touristy things.

Thanks.

im making the short trip over the pennines to sheffield not sure which day though ...

Hi Conflans,

I will be there along with the 'Like a stone wall' wargames group. No WSS/NYW though. We are demonstrating Antietam from the ACW.

This is a game we have had on hold since 911 and was due to be show at the Worlds that year. The events of a month earlier had us a rethink and we rapidly threw together Mons Baden for the show instead.

The delay created a few problems for us. None worse than having to replace some terrain boards made specifically for the game, namely one including Burnsides Bridge and three making up the Sunken Road.
Nick the Mole in our group has built some excellent new structures including the Dunker and Sharpsburg churches.

I really feel that the wait will be worth it.

Hope to see you and any other Forum members there for a pint and a chin wag.

Closer to this Forum we had the first re-fight of Chiari 1701 - it needs a little more work and it could make it on to our show list next year.

I have just completed my first two Spanish Imperialist Cavalry units and two foot units. I am currently working on the cloth flags for the horse and hope to then upload into this site.

Regards
Tim

Just taken this from the Grimsby clubs website:-

"Grimsby Wargames Society will be at the following show Triples putting on a display game of the Spanish Succession war,the table top game begins 10am Saturday the 21st May and ending the 22nd May at 4pm Sunday. The Battle of Oudenaarde (or Oudenarde) was a key battle in the War of the Spanish Succession fought on 11 July 1708 between the forces of Great Britain, the Dutch Republic and the Holy Roman Empire on the one side and the French on the other. It took place at Oudenaarde."

I understand that the game will be in 28mm scale, so that's 2 reasons now to go to Sheffield!

Hope that helps.

Oh yes....

Nice demo it was too

Very helpful bunch too

Gentlemen;

Thank you for all the replies and I regret missing Triples. Unfortunately, health issues kept me confined to the hotel room when I wasn't actually working. I look forward to getting out to a show the next time I'm over.

Thanks again.
