RE: [the_kirklees_crusaders] Re: Attendance on Sunday 17th
Hi Robert.
Get there whenever you can.
Others will be arriving at various times,
and I reckon you'll be one of the first.
There will be a fair amount of chatting
going on as this is the 'test' session; talk about game preferences, availability
on Sundays, etc.
The game will have 4 commands per side,
so no problem there. We are all still learning the game, so going over
the basic rules each time someone new arrives will help everyone =)

RE: [the_kirklees_crusaders] Re: Attendance
on Sunday 17th
Hi Bob
Thanks for the update.
That puts me in an awkward position. My son
normally has to be home for 1 but I was dropping him off at 12 and then
turning up. If things were happening at 10.30 then I could bring him along
for the first 2 hours. He is only 8 but I was hoping to get him involved
in a bit of basic DBA at home. I hoped visiting a proper gaming session
would arouse his interest.
Thanks
Robert

Hi,
I'd just like to point out that Sunday's gaming session will in fact
be kicking off at 10:00am, and running until approximately 4pm.
The game will be a 400 points per side battle using the DBMM rules
between my Ottomans (with Serbian allies)and Ian's Later Polish
(possibly with allies).
Depending on numbers attending I'll be happy to referee/help players
unfamiliar with these rules..
Allowing for set-up time etc, I'd imagine we'll start pushing figures
around at about 10:30.
As far as I'm aware, there's no catering on-site, although the bar
(which opens at 1pm I think) may well sell crisps and stuff, so it
might be worth bringing a sandwich or something for lunch (I like
crunchy peanut butter)
cheers
