    Wrong Neil replying but, from the post above:

    a. SoG Frigate Race. (Or WW1 game if no takers) (2 players)
    b. WW2 OP Pedestal. Germans & Italians trying to sink the convoy. Gallant FAA and RAF defend it. (0 players)
    c. WW2. Breakthrough at Arras. (0 players) If no other takers by Aug 20th then this is a firm booking.
    So it would appear to be a second WW2 game.

    If I had more gear I would. Or if some has the kit but would rather play and trusts me and everyone else not to trash stuff, then I will happily run something.

    Maybe we can chat at Thornbury on what is involved in putting this game on. If you were happy to bring the bits to Doncaster, I'd happily step up and run the game.

    OK, its pretty straightforward. The coastal craft (two motor torpedo boats and a German submarine) are run like slow aircraft so its pretty much as the standard rules. Maybe we could run one of the Thornbury sessions using that scenario.....
