Albania, 1940.
King Zog is in exile in London, slurping soup in the Ritz; the nationalists sit in their provincial offices content to make noise about Kosovo; and the Communists are scattered to the winds, with their exile community in Paris decimated following the city's fall. Albania is quiet and subdued.
In fact it is the perfect location for a game of high stakes chess.
Game Cost
The game costs £20.
For those who attended the Last game (Copenhagen) the price is £15. it's like a loyalty card discount or sommat .
Game fee paypalled to armisteadcraig (@) gmail (.) com for your place.
Camping will be available on the Saturday night. If you opt out of camping then please be on site for 9am on the Sunday.
Requirements
A Rifle: Any wood/wood effect bolt action rifle is allowed. Semi automatic wood/wood effect rifles are allowed, but should be used with small ammo magazines.
A Uniform: More on these later but any pukka uniform of the ETO protagonists from 1940 is allowed. Woolens please, for those forces with a variance.
A Happy Face: actually I am not going to restrict your face, you can have whatever face you choose - but we strongly recommend a happy one.
anti-requirements.
Facemasks. No thank you, they are not required.
Personal firearms other than a rifle: including pistols or smgs.

I soooo want to go to this, I've even been building up an early war/BEF era Brit' impression - but it's only 5 days before I'm getting married!

Congrats!
You are still allowed to get married after a WWII event you know? Tell her it is another 'stag do'. She might even send you off with a red cross parcel then.
Yes. My 'stag do' consisted of an activity day at Duxford followed by curry and beer, and one of my mates had a 'stag wargames weekend'.
I think a day out shooting at people with toy guns is pretty mild compared to some of the things you could be doing.
Congratulations in any case.
Cheers
Martin

I want to go to this. I will have to wait until May and see if I can get the replacement mags for my rifle before I can commit though.

Wake up there, Muttley, you're dreaming again!
You're not Robin Hood and you're not Gunga Din.
You're not a brave knight or a king who's been crowned;
You're just plain old Muttley, the snickering hound!
If I've got my No4 by then I'm in,is there a Huddersfield discount scheme?
Unfortunately I can only handle one discount scheme in my head at any time. Plus I don't like to supply ammunition to all those whiny Wakefield types.
Dosh sent. German GJ please.
Cheers Sean
