Triples 16 &17 May 2015

[Boney10]

I will be writing off to Sheffield Wargames society for tables at Triples in the next week of so.
Again we will definately be doing WW1 the question is do
I ask for more tables for WW2 and/or SGN ?

So any one wanting to do Triples this year, if so what do you wish to do ?
Let me know and I will organise the tables etc

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Will try and make 1 if not both days Chris. I'm up for anything WGF, WGS and SoG. Don't mind.

[Hedeby]

I will do both days Chris - count me in for either WW1 or 2 - also what about getting a SoG table this year?

[Flying Helmut]

I hope to be able to do both days, work rosta permitting.
WGF, of course!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

This event clashes with Praguefest I'm afraid Chris. So again I will have to consider carefully as I was hoping to go to Prague.

Today is the day for booking tables for Triples

Do we want one or two tables, previous years we had one and we were pushed to get al played
Last year I booked two tables and we ended up barely able to cover.

So 1 table for WW1 as usual, but do I book another table for WW2 or leave.
So far I have Hedeby definate, Flying Helmut and Scafloc possibles
Let me know please so I can get off our booking

[Hedeby]

Book both am sure we will have enough there to sort something.. I can confirm for both days

[Flying Helmut]

I can confirm for both days also!

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Sunday is more probable if I can make it. I have Carronade on the 9th.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I can come on both days if really needed Chris.
Rob.

[Boney10]

Looking at the current response, I am booking one table for WW1 only
This willl give us all a chance to play, assist and have a look around the show.
If there is space then I will ask for more on the day

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Sounds a good call to me Chris.
Better than coming out with egg on face.
Rob.

[Hedeby]

OK that sounds sensible - lets hope its a better show than last year, we were great - rest of the show not so

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Quality beats quantity every time. Better to have 1 good table than spread ourselves too thin.

[Booboohamster]

Tees Squadron signing up, I'll see if I can round the other chaps up too.

It'll just be the Saturday, probably three of us.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Great news Andrew.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Rob.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Andrew are you and the lads coming to York? (Vapnartak - this Sunday)?

[Booboohamster]

Andrew are you and the lads coming to York? (Vapnartak - this Sunday)?

Sorry no, we're on an RP holiday as of Wednesday and won't be back in time.

Always clashes every year.

[Boney10]

Confirmation mail received, we got one table for WW1 both days.
I will post an agenda and the numbers we can get in to assist.
Of course it will be great to see all, so keep this in mind

[Maverick]

Hi
I wondered of we could run a 'novices' table?
I would like to help assist with this event
if I can be of use?
let me know nearer the time
Regards
Maverick

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Ok, I'm up for a Sunday jaunt. A few questions:

1. How many tables would we have on Sunday? and
2. Could I run Taranto if there is space please?

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Please see post 20 from Chris, Neil.
Rob.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

OK, NP, I'll turn up on the Sunday to shoot you all down then.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

OK, NP, I'll turn up on the Sunday to shoot you all down then.

Glad you will be there Neil. As for shoot us all down. In your dreams mate. In your dreams. ......................................

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

For those organising games do you want me to bring anything? What should I bring?

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I'm sure Chris will let you know what is needed Neil. Your banner could be an asset. Mine will be down South for Salute.
Neither of which incidentally have been put on the calendar, despite my repeated request to Organizers to do so.
Rob.

[Boney10]

Hi all, got a few things to sort , but will put up a proposed itinery in the coming week.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Thanks Chris.
Rob.

[Flying Helmut]

Your banner could be an asset. Mine will be down South for Salute.Rob.

Yours will be coming up to Triples, if still in my possession at that time.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Banner for Sunday, as ordered WingCo. Anything else I am ready, willing and able, to an extent, to deliver.

Neil

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Thanks Tim.
Rob.

[Maverick]

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Noted and NP.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Wilco that Chris, and do you want a crash for the weekend?
Rob.

[Boney10]

Wilco that Chris, and do you want a crash for the weekend?
Rob.

Hi Rob, thanks for the offer but will be staying in Barnsley the weekend, gives me chance to stay with family.

[Hedeby]

Cool, will be there both days now, especially with a Brisfit scrap on the Sunday, would be rude to miss that one. Have a couple of Gotha's if needed

[Maverick]

Hi Chris / all....
I will be there both days
Will bring along a few colourful aircraft....
no doubt we will have enough Mats?
if any extra mats needed I will put some in the car just in case
see you at the show
Regards
Maverick

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

If Tim brings his Gothas and we all do the same we will be pushing the WMMS record. I can bring 2 and 2 AEG GIV's.

I can run up to 22 Gotha's, upto 5 AEG's and up to 2 Freddies too. I would restrict the bombers to 12 max. Then we can move them and play altitude (simplified) if you all wish.

Neil

[Flying Helmut]

Right, then..............

Mats
Clouds (MkII if ready by then!)

Aircraft;- Nieuports, Dr1s, DH4s, DVIIs, DXIIs, Gothas no problem. Other odds and sods available, but no Pups (yet!)

Thanks for organising , Chris!

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Can bring 2 Pups if req'd?

Neil

[Hedeby]

Can't wait chaps, not taken to the air for a few weeks, although have a session lined up at local venue on Thursday - best get some practice in, lol

Neil

I like the idea of fewer planes but with movement etc. try and actually stop them bombing the target - WMMS record was incredible but did take about 4 hours to thin the Gotha hoard out...
Even with me downing seven of them... (but I wasn't counting)

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Thought you claimed 8 Chris? Getting more like Hermann every sortie....

[Hedeby]

I defer to the official version of events as recorded on your master chart Neil. I wouldn't wish to be inaccurate (actually think I will check WMMS thread and see what I did claim, lol) -

[Sparky]

I will be attending Triples on the Sunday with the Squadron Leader Neil (Skafloc), Tom (Indie55) and also my Brother Ian. So I will have a full load.
I'll have to keep reminding Neil on the way down, that my car is not a staff car even if he provides some small pendants for the front wings and sits in the back giving out orders!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Just as a point of information, are any of you chaps doing triples booked in anywhere for Saturday night and if so where. I'm looking for somewhere preferably with a bar.
Rob.

[Flying Helmut]

I'm in the Premier Inn Meadowhall, about a mile or so from the venue.
