The Loose Association of Wargamers

Plans are moving forward for an 18th century two day gaming event at Yeovil 2025, either February, March or September.

If any of you are interested in attending please PM me, if you wish to attend on either both days or one day.
I am trying to get numbers 10+ would be great.

I'm interested and if attending I'd want to do both days, though it would be totally dependent upon which dates you choose, as I can't take annual leave on rostered Sundays. September would be better for me, as the Memsahib has chemo ending in February and we've planned to go away in March.

Excellent! Stand by while I check with OC Domestic Sqn...

Buggeration, bum and bother it! That's tempting, you bloody PUP (Pommy Underwater Pusser).......

Any major shows closeish (in days, not miles)? I haven't started booking my possible trip over, yet.

Good luck, Will. I, too, envy those able to attend.
I'm sure it'll be a smash. I look forward to the photos.

Here is my idea for the game at the 18th century gaming weekend.
Still work in progress, the oblong represents 6 x 2 feet tables.




Here are my first drafts of my gaming idea, "The Siege of Havana 1762".

After the failure of the first British landing, the French have landed a force to
support their Spanish allies.
The British have enlisted the Prussians and landed to the East of Havana and
caused several breaches in the walls of the city and are ready to assault.
Meanwhile a British / Prussian landing force by barges is attempting to out flank the
Spanish / French to the west of the city.

Spanish / French 18 battalions of infantry and 4 cavalry.
British / Prussian 24 - 28 battalions and 2 cavalry.
