Stuff coming out of the Caen Meeting

Old Un · 2007-05-08T07:39:16Z

Hi peeps , in your absence , we came up with a hit list of things to do which we all need ot get involved with . The main theme being what to do after CR as we have no "official" games planned. The following is a rough discussion of the outcomes 1 Gunmans DDay Game in November - We need to set up a meeting in the next 2-3 weeks to explore if we want ot get involved, if we want ot run this or if we let him gett on with it alone. Debate as to whether or not to take this on as a CiA event went along the lines of "lets meet up and decide how much we could control the game rather than let it be some LARPy bit of cack " He's offered to meet us in Nottingham , suggest a midweek evening meet over a pint or so , and then decide where ot take it from there. I personally am ok with volunteering with this event , as long as I don't have ot do much after CR . There is also the issue about the cost of the event, but again best to meet him and soon to get a handle on this 2 CR Scenario meeting . I have commited to getting the scenario to rough draft for discussion in the next two weeks . Suggest again we have a "Gadge's House" meeting for all to have a debate . 17th May is good for me. I have also decided to structure the game more , and have three phases to the Saturday , an E&E/recce phase, and attack on some AA guns phase and an early evening convoy assault/steal the plans phase rather than just let everyone wander around the woods getting bored. Plus the morning assualt on the V1 itself . More on this later , but reckon we need more action and less reenactment . 3 The bunker game at the old bunker . Kemrit old lad, you've been framed as the key person to pull this one off coz you is down sarf , perhaps some time in August. We could do it as a "lite" ie less on props or could go full out for something special( Don't forget we still have the Nazi Gold at our disposal ) Andy Cracking Day is yer man 07766336388. If we are going to do it then we need to get a date and start promoting it ASAP. Your thoughts appreciated 4 If not that game, then Webby came up with a Falaise Pocket Idea at Dave Mannings site in Shropshire - another big woodland site. Some nice ideas , and we could tie it in with the historical date near enouhg as well . Again we need ot get going with this or the bunker if we want ot get thew players in . My initial thought was that the Falaise pocket was about the destruction of all German Armour - and we don't have any I'm sure we can be imaginative. 5 Eznugud (Sean Philips) of LFU / SYA has contact Yith saying he plans to put on a WWII event in September at his new Proteus site. He doesn't want us to run it , he'll do that himself. Rich is going ot see if he plans on using our rules and kit guides . The feeling was that we would promote , help and encourage Sean to link his players ot our forum , but stop short of putting our name on it. There was a debate about allowing him ot use our forum as the booking thread, the feeling was 2-1 against this as it would look like we were involved, which we're not . Nothing ot stop us promoting it though . Overall Caen for me was a bit of a Skirmish in silly kit. The main people properly dressed and armed were.....yes .....all us regulars. There were a few Germans in decent kit, but the play style was very gay/open day at times . We done to Chef for putting in on , perhaps my expectations were too high . Overall not a bad weekend, and very kind of CW to allow me to stay at Schloss Werner on the Saturday , however it didn't have the feel or authenticity of our two games for me to make it worth trekking down there again in a hurry .

OK, can't promise. Youngsters are on half term and wifey is working abroad so I'll have my hands full. I'm pretty good at multi-tasking as long as it's one thing at a time :shock: so if work & home life are in reasonable harmony I'll try and get there...

The 'Major' from the Bunker Warehouse in Cornwall has joined the forum - wondering where all the sales and hits to his web site have come from!

I dropped him a friendly welcome email...
