    NOTE: Where a slot has 2 spaces disregard the split cell should be 1 space not 2.

    4 attendees have given no preferences for game slots, yet.
    1 attendee has only given 2 game slot choices.

    11 members still to confirm attendance.

    So where games look devoid of players they will fill up.

    A little more info on each game:

    WW1
    Combat Patrol:
    That early morning, or any time of the day really, combat for control of the skies.

    Photo Recon:
    2 seaters head out to photograph targets and try not to be shot down in the process. (2 seater mayhem similar).

    Bomb the target:
    Once those photo's have been developed it's back out to bomb them and rack up more points.

    Spare parts required:
    Combat in the air with a naval twist.

    WW2
    Battle of Britain:
    Opposing squadrons fight it out as the Germans try to bomb London and the RAF try to stop them amid the chaos of the Battle of Britain. All early war stuff I believe.

    Sino-Japanese War becomes Coral Sea!:
    Apologies for the change of venue so to speak. The US carrier aircraft have to try and sink the IJN Ryuju and escorting destroyer before they can get off the table. All in 1/200 scale. (simplified altitude, torpedoes, dive bombers and did I mention float planes...slipped that one in for fun).

    Beaufighter:
    Lots of action involving Beaufighters. Sworn to secrecy with this one but it will be a doozie!

    Lancaster Raid:
    Lancasters escorted by Spitfire IX's (and possibly a mosquito or 2?) try to bomb Germany as the Luftwaffe flying FW190's, ME109K's, ME 262's etc try to stop them.

    Sails of Glory:
    Fleet Action: 2 opposing fleets slug it out for control of the seas. (Standard rules)

    Pirates: Some old favourites on the table, The Black Pearl et al contest treasure, boarding and lots of Arghhhhhh m'hearties to boot. (Standard rules)

    Frigate Racing: Around the ragged rocks the gallant Frigates raced. Who will win, will dirty tricks and back stabbing come to the fore. Standard rules)

    Mystery Fleets: A blind draw not only for ships but Captain and crew skills not to mention what side your on. (Advanced rules).

    Ace of Aces:
    Same as last year. Eveyone attending, one table, random sides and opposition (pilots).

    Table 2 for all the Sat games if you please, Neil.
    Beaufighters game details will be posted tomorrow.
    8 players is a perfect number (5/3) [more may be welcome if interested], although less (like 6-7) may be quite all right too.
    The game's title is " The Black Friday", for those who may be interested.

    BLACK FRIDAY the Beaufighters' game.
    With this scenario we are going to recreate the attack on Z-33 German destroyer that took place on 9 Feb 1945.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(1945)

    Not intending to reveal the details of the scenario, here is what you will get:
    1. Beaus plus P-51s as escorts are tasked to find the Z-33 and destroy it.
    2. German Fw-190 interceptors are somewhere there on lookout.
    3. Z-33 and an accompanying z-boat are to be found and destroyed.
    4. Waypoints and spotters/or/snipers abilities will have to be assigned by the teams before the mission starts as well as altitude.
    5. The first to spot the enemy, the first to attack.
    6. Flights are restricted: Beaus are tasked to hit the vessels only. P-51s provide protection. Beaus have to find the vessels, destroy them and make for home.
    7. Explosions: houseruled. Beaus hit or miss: zero counters return to appropriate bags.

    6-10 players are welcome.

    Hi Neil,
    At the moment I have no idea what the Biggles ladies will want to play, although Amy tends to be exclusively WW1.
    Hannah might want to be with BoB, or any game she can fly her Roland in.
    SWMBO is WW1 or Sails.
    I am possibly in danger of Sails, being drawn to things Piratical, Beaufighters sounds fun, and I would like to be on Dawn Patrol unless someone needs help with BoB.
    I will try to get clarification from the ladies later today.

    Lest we forget

    Hi Neil

    As small numbers for sails so far...

    If Chris runs game 1 - please put me down for BoB

    If Ensign Patch runs the pirates game 2 - Chris can get to play on a table

    and if no takers for sails games 3 & 4 - perhaps we can join in other tables?

    or

    Perhaps I can have a go at trying to blow Chris out of the water for a change!
    Well there has to be a first time for everything...doesn't there?

    Flexibility as always...

    Simon will your son be attending? I had not included him on the list I think. If so that's 1 more attendee. Fantastic news.

    Now if everyone else who hasn't, does, we can let games organisers know how many to cater for.

    So come on you lit. Fingers out. Start tapping the keys and let us know....pretty please?

    I've probably missed something in translation (remember I am a Southerner) but is Friday evening just at the pub not at the Museum?
    Where is the Pub?
    What time Saturday morning at the Museum; remember I am running an early game?
    Where is the Restaurant for Saturday evening?

    We are hoping to get in for 0830 Saturday Reg. Pub for Friday is the St Ledger where most if not all travellers are staying .
    The Sat evening meal is the pub attached to the Premier Inn about 5 minutes walk up the road from the museum. Doncaster East? Or West? I'm sure Chris will keep me right.
