A reminder that we can still fit more players in for the 23 October game. If you are thinking of coming please let me know.

Last Sunday’s game was a refight of the battle at Alaca Dag on the Caucasus front between Russia & Turkey in 1877, and resulted in a Russian victory and the capture of the entire Turkish team! Thanks again to Paul Dowden for a different & entertaining scenario.

Our next game is at 11 am on Sunday 20 November, at our usual venue at the village hall in Little Gaddesden, a few miles N of Hemel Hempstead. This one will be a traditional horse & musket kriegsspiel, between divisional-sized forces. Units will be infantry battalions, cavalry squadrons and artillery batteries, and most players will command a brigade-sized force.

Cost for the day will probably be £5 to cover the hire cost of the hall, and tea, coffee etc. Newcomers are always welcome, and if this is your first game you get in free .

We would like to get an idea of numbers before finalising the scenario, so if you are hoping to come, and have not yet contacted me, can you please do so. Ditto if you have not played before and would like an idea of what to expect.

Many thanks Steve & the umpires for an excellent game today, and a real cliff-hanger.

Seesaw fighting, where a half hour made all the difference. A fugitive archduke, and wagonloads of hijacked gold. Who could ask for more ...........and I lost btw Very Happy

Yes thanks to Steve for a great scenario idea and plenty of choices for people to make and ended with a good fight at the end..

It was certainly fun to watch as an umpire.

What do we have next year Martin?

•Saturday 18 February - set in France in 1944, after the break-out from Normandy. The Allied divisions fan-out heading through eastern France & Belgium for the German border. The Germans desparately try and cobble together a defence.

•Sunday 4 March 2012 - probably an English Civil War campaign.

•Sunday 15 April 2012 - possibly a hypothetical battle during the 1809 campaign on the Danube between France & Austria (if Paul is willing). We normally have quite a high turn-out for the April game as 5 regulars come back for their university hols.

Howzat?

PS I ought to post these details under 2012 Events too
