Little Wars Revisited 54mm Games Day March 10th 2018

Hi Dave

Yes there is a premier inn. I intended to start organising this week but have had flu since the new year and have spent most of time in bed...

Feeling a little better today (now just at the weak and feeling beaten up stage)....

I will get cracking next week.

Mike

I have updated the main posting with a list of proposed games - though I have a feeling I might have missed a couple.

My criteria for games is that they should:

- fit onto a 6 x 4 table (except the Funny Little Wars floor game)
- be playable in 2 hours
- not be too complex
- involve 2-4 players.

I am keen that we don't end up with too many games as I have seen days organised where people set up lovely looking games and no-one plays them. Even if we have a setup where some games are played in the morning and we swap around and play different games in the afternoon.

For people coming and staying there is a Premier Inn, Travelodge and an a Hilton Doubletree. Don't stay at the Woking Hotel - someone was murdered there a while back and it has a bad reputation!

If enough people are interested in staying on and going for an evening meal, I will see what consensus is and book a restaurant for early evening.

I must stress that I am making this up as I go along, so if anyone else has bright ideas then please chip in!

thanks

Mike

Echoing Anthony's thanks Mike. Really looking forward to the day.
Which of the 3 venues for staying is the nearest to the event location? I'll book a room for the Saturday night and would like to join in with the meal (if Anthony will let me, being a Royalist AND a Ricardian!!!!!).

Best Wishes Dave

Hi Dave,

Having met you in the flesh at the LTS I am supremely confident that your many virtues will more than outweigh the occasionally odd notion or two entertained by your good self:)

I can see we are going to have a splendid time on the 10th!

Best wishes
Anthony

PS I am currently rebasing my 54mm Napoleonics according to Dirk's rules.

Well I've been and gone and done it! I'm now booked in at the Hilton Doubletree hotel, Woking on 10th March. Thanks for the info. re hotels Mike.
Looking forward to the event and meeting fellow 54mm gamers (although I'm fairly new to this scale).

Best Wishes Dave

I have updated the first post with details of the day, venue, planned timings, etc.

We have had a few drop outs from attendees and games organisers but I am sure we can still have a fun day. It was always going to be a challenge getting the disparate 54mm gaming community to Woking, but I hope that even a small first event will eventually grow into something a little bit bigger...

If you have any questions then please let me know.
