It looks like we are still 1 short for a sunday afternoon lace hulk so i'd be happy to play in anything that works !

A lacy number with lots of sequins, perhaps?

If...and it's still my preferred option...but if Lace Hulk doesn't happen on Sunday Afternoon...what else do people fancy playing?
Obviously Gary's Trojans are an option, but outside of that what might be of interest??

EDIT:
Small games I have (mostly) ready to go could be 15mm Sci, using either 5 Parsecs Tactics or my rules depending on size of game. Epic ACW using BP rules. Burrows and Badgers for some fluffy murder in the hedgerows or maybe FIW...although without my scenery tiles I might need to beg some extra trees etc... from attendees :D
If board games weren't too blasphemous I've also just got the SAS Rogue regiment boardgame that might be of interest.

Gents...I'm very unfortunately having throw a bit of a shitty spanner in the mix 😬

My wife has been given Thursday 14th November as the op date for a pretty major operation she's been waiting over a year for 🤬🤬🤬 they've said its 6-12 weeks recovery and basically 2 weeks of absolute bed-rest, so that's me being on hand to do everything (including assisting with self-catheterization apparently 🤢)

I'm bloody gutted as was really looking forward to a decent few gaming sessions 😫

I'm still booked in at the Lodge for the Saturday night...did I see someone looking for a room?? Just need to cancel it soon, unless someone wants the booking

Very sorry to hear that your good lady needs such major surgery. I wish her well.

And also very sorry you can't make the weekend.....entirely understandable of course.

Best wishes to you both.

Iain

That is both bad news (that you're missing the weekend) and good news (that you good lady is getting an operation that she needs).

I'm sure your presence will be very much missed, I was looking forward to having a chat about Ayton 2025 and start to make more solid plans :(

Is your booking at the lodge for just the one night (Saturday) and can they be transferred? If I ever get over the covid I've had for nearly a month I might be able to negotiate a one night sabbatical (also assuming that my wife is no longer bedbound by covid as she has been for the last three weeks!)

Let me know how that could be organised!

Failing that I hope the operation goes as planned and that you can get the time off of work to become her carer for a few weeks! (plus plenty of painting time!!)

[EDIT: Actually as of this (Monday) morning i'm not 100% sure to be coming after smashing my ankle when a metal tool box fell off a shelf, currently awaiting a quick trip to A&E but I think it should be ok so long as it doesn't need a plaster cast!!]
[Edit the 2nd: Should be ok so long as it heals as it's meant to, no cast needed]
