    Default Devizes Attack 2016 on 16/17July

    Devizes and District Wargames Group will be running Attack 2016 on 16/17July.
    We have been sent a mail asking if we wish to attend this year.
    We got any takers for this one over the weekend.
    I for one will attend this show
    Let me know as soon as you can so I can book a table, WW1 for this show

    Hopefully at least one day, but don't know for certain as yet.

    I can do one day Chris, also not sure which one yet.

    Dates are in the diary and as it is just down the road, should be able to assist both days.

    Have had a request as to what we are going to do here for the programme.
    I take it there wil be no objections to WGF for both days with possibly a HP or Staaken raid ?

    That works for me. Might need to spend some time helping out on my club's table over the weekend, but am otherwise at the Aerodrome's disposal.

    I'd like to make it along there on one of the days but I'll have to let you know nearer the time though, if that's ok!

    I'm still up for this one, but probably unable to do both days.
    Which would you have me do, Chris?
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    I'm definitely still good for both days and with the exception of trying to get a game of Open Combat in with the designer and giving Black Ops a go, I'm yours for the duration Chris.

    Bumped in to Nigel at Bovington and he said you were aiming to be there for 9 on Saturday. Will aim to do the same to assist with unloading and setup.

    - Neil.

    I'm 50/50 for it this year, some family issues. Fingers crossed I may make Saturday

    Saturday it is, then, Chris!

    I'll pack my Giants - anything else specific you want me to bring? (I'm trying to cut down on the cargo - call it "WGF Lite!")

    Hope you can make it, Dave.

    All you other chaps - hope to see you Saturday!

    Back from Devizes, a good weekend, a big thanks to Burt, Flying Helmut, Bogue, Mikeemagnus and John, plus a big thanks To Neil for helping out today also.
    Sunday was not as busy as yesterday but for a few hours a young lad who played yesterday came back to play agiain and loved the game. So much so he "needed"the game as it wa his birthday soon. So a convert who will hopefully have hours of fun in the future.
    A bit KOF at moment so will get pics uploaded of the weekend asap.
    Next up Thornbury
