For those not going to Derby and who are in to sci-fi gaming, there is a show on in Bristol this Saturday.

Of interest to forum members is that Mr Manley will be there with his Stingray game, which is reason enough to go in my book.

Hope to see some of my very good friends frim the Aerodrome there on Saturday :)
David and Neil,
Hope this event goes successfully although I am not familiar with Stingray. The clash with Derby is a bit of a buggar however looking at the line-up it's all very traditional or war-centred. Not Sci-Fi and I know from my experiences with the X-Wing guys at Galactic Models Gaming Night that games of this genre have a huge following ... Hope they have publicised this event well enough to bring a healthy crowd to Bristol too :)

Well - as I mentioned this IMHO will not be the market that's heading towards Castle Donington next weekend. Hopefully next time David has Stingray in play I can come and see it / support what's going on then ... My fingers will be crossed for you anyway on the day.
Thanks :) It is a nice little self contained game that I take along to shows on an occasional basis. Cheap to get into as well as the rules are home written, the models typically cost a pound or so on Ebay and the terrain can be bought from any decent garden centre or pet shop selling aquarium accessories :)

This on might be getting a rest after Blast Tastic though. I'm thinking of resurrecting my "Man o War" privateer game (what Warhammer Historical Trafalgar should have been), the Cod War game (wargaming without shooting) or maybe a new ACW naval game. All aimed at fast and fun games at shows and other events to get people trying something naval.
David that looks and sounds fantastic ... As do the other games especially the Cod Wars one. As you can probably gather from a number of my postings in Circuits and Bumps about training missions wargaming without shooting also appeals to me: I'm more of a strategist and this comes from learning Chess at an early age from my Father.
I'll definitely have to come and see one of these games in motion / support you at an event. You have got me seriously interested now :)
Do have a great time Dave.
I hope you will be fully recovered by then.
Get that chest infection sorted old chap.
Rob.
Looks like I've picked the right event to go to this weekend, seeing as I found these whilst going through some boxes today.

They should keep me busy for a while!

Had almost forgotten about the Titan Terror Fish. :) Like to know more about the ACW ironclads game please Dave.

Still looking for the treasure chest :)Quote:
