Welcome to our forums. The Bristol Big'Uns are a group of people who enjoy fantasy, science fiction and historical wargames. We tend to play mostly table-top wargames but you will sometimes see CCGs, CMGs, RPGs or board games. If this sounds like a hobby you currently enjoy then why not come along. The club is based at Iron Acton, between Bristol and Yate, in the recently refurbished Parish Hall and is held Sunday evenings from 6 pm until 10 pm. There are tables and chairs available plus various sized scenic mats and terrain for table-top wargames. Please bring with you any drinks or snacks that you require.

Club game at Revellie , 24th November?
Last year the club put on a very nice game. Might be nice to put a game on this year.
Who would like to see us fly the flag and take forward, as we should register any interest in good time. All gaming systems can be demonstrated.
Cheers

Re: Club game at Revellie , 24th November?
Hi John its Sunday 24th Nov this year.
I would be happy to help organise a game of What a Tanker set in Normandy (its the 75th anniversary of the battle this year). The Barkman corner scenario looks fun - an "ace" Panther v 5 Shermans.
What do others think?

Hi Alan,

Alan,
I've found the application form for last years reveille so we can use that and send it off to Craig. I have asked him for a form anyway and said we would like to do WaT again.

Before committing lets wait a week or so to see if anyone else suggests a different system / game. 15mm would work well as we have plenty of terrain. Could go up to 20mm which is probably better visually but would probably need to sort out some more terrain.

Hi Alan,
We’ve got a slot in reveille, didn’t specify game as the paperwork is not ready to be sent out yet for details of the game we would put on. Main thing is they know we are planning a game at reveille so a slot is booked for us. Craig will send me the forms when they are available later in the year, probably in October 😇

I think it's safe to say the club will be presenting a What a Tanker extravaganza in November.
Time press on with the project chaps.
Cheers
