Ayton November 2023

[Essex Boy]

This thread is a thing of beauty to follow from the start!

So 11-12 November in the Lodge?
Are you full or is there room for a small good looking boy?
What games you playing? Would I need to bring or paint anything?
Is Jamie still luring people into his manlove cabin?

Always room for you young master Purps.

No idea about Jamie's love cabin, but if you're staying in the Lodge......hurry up.

As for games.........buggered if I can remember. That was going to be my next question. Tim H and I are definitely putting on a shiny ACW game on the Friday, and there was talk of a What a Cowboy.

Righto, I'll cancel the Hall. Cue more slappings for me I s'pose

By way of thanks to the Lodge, should we eat & drink there throughout & leave a nice tip for the staff? In which case I won't book anywhere else for feeding.

Probably best to eat at the Lodge. But does the Lodge do food on Sunday night I wonder. I think not.

Ah no, but Sunday Eve we can do The Coachman.

[Count Belisarius]

Does the coachman have any say in that?

[Essex Boy]

Ah no, but Sunday Eve we can do The Coachman.

.....or Pot Noodle.......

What games you playing? Would I need to bring or paint anything?

I'm doing a Dark Ages game on the Saturday (maybe two games as the rules are quite quick).
Depending on numbers, it might even be possible to do some sort of narrative micro campaign!
Plenty of (28mm) figures knocking about but a force of 60 figures or so would be about right if you were so inclined

is this where they are putting you up?

I think it would be wise to have just two tables in the 'restaurant' each day. So let's say you've spoken for one of them on the Saturday.

Who else is putting on games? I'm afraid I've lost track.

As you have said, you and I are doing the shiny ACW on Friday, I am more than happy to get some "What a Cowboy" action going on the Sunday, nothing planned for the Saturday, but if there is any interest I am quite happy to serve up some "Laserblade" Sci Fi skirmish action. Nice, and simple rules that give a fun and bloody game. The "What a Cowboy" and the "Laserblade" will be 54mm games by the way.

Thank you Iain for sorting out a location to host us. I hope to be at EA on the Saturday & Sunday. If Peeler is offering some DBN would like to have a match. Other than that please put my name down for other to make up the numbers. I still have Napolionic 28mm on offer if anyone interested.
