Evening all. Good to be back. Sorry I've been gone so long, had a lot of personal stuff to sort out but I'm finally getting back into gaming, although it has been a good few months since I last rolled some dice so god knows what my rolls will be like now.

Well, they were usually pretty good as I recall. You doing Ayton this coming year?

Need an excuse to get busy with the paint brushes.

I'm guessing it would be the usual 25/28mm figures for the big 18th century game?

Indeed you are.

I've marked your game down as half a day duration, which doesn't mean that you can only do one game.....you may, for instance, do two games - one am, one pm. You may even be able to think of some other clever arrangement?

I'm assuming your game/s will only require a very small playing area.

Yes indeed, 25/28/30mm.

Have you seen the list of possible activities at the top of page 1? There's a background note there as well setting out the very broad shape of Ayton 2020.

Good to see you back with us.

Looks like it's going to be a great weekend. Could you put me down for the big game? I'm just looking at figures now and thinking Warlord AWI plastics may be the way to go, sadly they don't have any cavalry so I'll have to rethink for those.

If it involves pies, I'm definitely in (even if it isn't particularly clever).

Just bought my first figures. I'm buying them bit by bit so I don't get swamped, so I got an officer pack and an artillery pack from Perry miniatures just to ease me back in.
