Wladek and Yith could bring their Flames of War companies and we could all command a section each!*

*Note - Unlike everyone above, I'm serious, is that sad?

Sections don't last very long in FOW! So, it could be a short game! Which reminds me, if I can wangle it and get to this game, I've got a load of FOW terrain for Gadge.



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

Heh... I'm bringing enough stuff down without having to bring my FoW 8th army battalion. lol! Anyway, there's nowhere big enough for the table in the tunnels. :)

If people are serious about wanting to try some boardgames then I can supply a few... it's my third hobby after airsoft and re-enactment... :)

I seem to remember that the room where Ike had the D-Day map is somewhere down there. That big enough?

Pedantic point of interest: Ike was a good distance away but his map room can be seen from the top of the fort (well, the building that contained it). Just Navy types were in the map room under the chalk. :wink: :lol:

I have Brit Airborne if interested, + a Bridge too far book for it too, then again, that would be sad to play Airborne whilst wearing Airborne rig :giggle:

I could bring 'Escape from Colditz' if you allies want to get used to what you will need to be doing after this event :giggle:
Board games are great... I vote bring board games, silllier the better.

Just to clarify, there won't be room for a wargames table, due to the nature of the event, you will be confined to the safe zone for the social!

Board games are more slightly more feasible, if you want to bring them along.

I was looking at that one on my shelf as well last night and thought it might be suitable! :)

Sorry! :whistle:

Someone PLEASE bring escape from colditz, great game, plenty of potential for stupid snaps.

If folk do want board gaes of the silly variety I have Junta, chez goth and zombies

More traditionally I have cludeo,monopoly or mousetrap (although the new version of mousetrap is pants to be honest.)

I'm planning on playing Thunder at Cassino with Craig, if we can find space to set it up. :)

I'm intrigued, having never seen or indeed played any of these games!
