In the light of recent forum discussions and game cancellations I wonder if we can't get something positive out of all this.
1. It seems unlikely that we will get anywhere near the number of German players to make this even half a game, and there isn't the demand beyond a central hard core.
2. Josh has pulled his end of July game, leaving three months without a WW2 game.
3. 34th have a good booking for the end of August.
4. The idiocy of a group of people calling for 'immersive' games yet seeing them cancelled because they aren't attending.
5. Etc!
So, a proposal. We join up with others and run a 'pop-up' game - this could be 34th and/orJosh may be Doughboys if Craig is interested, Dean won't be.
1. We run a joint game with Josh and/or 34th on his dead date.
2. We run a joint game with Josh and/or 34th on our dead date.
3. Location: Fireball or Grafton or one of Josh's sites (not Tuds)
Crucially, this would be the last planned CiA game (I honestly don't think 'our' games are viable right now and anyway I don't think we can be arsed at the moment). This doesn't preclude future plans or burn our boats but we will be the good guys 'making shit happen'.
It is a leap of faith but I would like to have a last push rather than fizzle out with a cancelled game. (I think, poor memory, that we have only cancelled two games before and one was circumstances beyond our control).
Game style: a free flowing Josh/CiA style not short missions. 34th games are well planned and they know what they are doing (experienced at herding cats at open days!). Josh's games are not planned to any degree and he makes it up as he goes along - no complaints about that, it is one of his strengths). Craig's games - well he is overly hung up on the dressing up and likes to be exclusive to the degree that he actively excludes players, but prefers reality over 'filmsim'. I don't think we can include AGS in the plans due to distances involved. Of course, the scenario and game plan and rule set would be CiA friendly.
I haven't thought beyond that. Shoot me down in flames or add ideas, either way it is all good. I just thought CiA can do something and be in the driving seat rather than be seen as moaning 'veterans' with niche games that no one wants.
