The Loose Association of Wargamers

"Fear the Past" - why? What happened on Tuesday?

Right. So 6 players aside, each player needs around 4 foot of table (on average) given the quantity of troops, that’s a 24 foot table required. Minimum.

you've got to remember that Andy just marches sideways on the baseline, Ken just needs an entry point for the mexicans to die and then re-emerge again, Iain needs some woods to get lost in and iain needs a terrain obstacle to prevent his routing units escaping from Gary's butchery

Jeremy – there will be two or three smaller games on the Saturday and then, if it all goes according to plan, one ginormous 30' x 6' on the Sunday.

Sorry, but if you can't reach then that's the limit of your advance!

We tall people have to have some advantages...
