Craig Austin enquired whether we wanted to put a game on at the event 5 August. I said I would ask....

I’ll check with S.W.M.B.O if i’m free ;0).
If I am i’d be happy to run the Kings of War demo game I ran at the Reville last year if I can get some willing helpers?

If I can make the date I will help on a game for some or all the day - the calendar is currently clear but of course as we all know - that means NOTHING

If I can make it - as an alternative what about What a Tanker using 1/48th scale tanks (or any scale for that matter)? or we can do KOW in the morning, WAT in the pm - just need a few buildings (28mm types are fine for 1/48th) and some form of terrain board/mat - I have plenty of tanks!

Are we able to support this by putting a game on? Just had a reminder from Craig.

Cheers

As there is a lot of interest in WAT at club at the moment that would probably be the best option, so if you want to take that forward Rob i’d be happy to help out on the day.

I always go to this show for the whole day, so would be willing to help out with a WaT. In between shopping forays.🙄

Nige is looking to take this forward, with a WaT offering. He is looking for volunteers to assist. These should preferably be willing.

Step forward, so Nige can take your name...

I haven't had opportunity to talk with Barbara about my availability for this yet, but will do so when the right moment presents it self - I doubt I can do the whole day but should be able to do a decent chunk - do you want my 1/48th tanks (on loan - not forever!!) or are you doing a different scale?

Happy to help out on the day as long as I get time to do some shopping ;0).

Ta Steve, we do need at least one more to help all day, two would mean we get to do shopping. Two of us is not a viable amount for all day on our feet with the punters. I’m catering for three per side, Alan will lend us his tanks & terrain ( we will need a club mat).

If there’s only two of us for the whole day it’s too much. I stopped doing the wings at shows as it ended up with me & one other & at the end of the day we were exhausted & we felt really ill. So we both stopped. I’m not go8ng to go down that road again.

If we get two more to fully commit to doing the whole day then it’s a go. If we don’t it’s way too much, it’s then not fun nor an enjoyable experience.

We will have a chat on Sunday as we play deadzone.

Totally agree there Nige.

It's been decided we will not be putting on a game at this show. The organiser has been informed.

**Posted by JordanOfWessex** 18/7/2018 12:13 AM

I would be happy to join in What a Tanker if it’s not too late.

Lincombe barn are putting a particpation game of WaT after all, noticed it on newsletter chatter.

So there will still be an opportunity for anyone to play WaT at IPMS after all, Jordan.

Don’t know what scale they are doing it in though.

I wonder if they are planning to similar at Reveille? No point in there being 2 WaTs.

Alan,
I have been in contact with craig about a table for our WaT and he didn't mention anything about them doing one. Once IPMS is over he said he will sort out bookings for reveille. I planned to speak to him and Andy at IPMS about our WaT so will address that issue with them.
