Thread: Avon Flight

  1. #1

    Default Avon Flight

    Games evening




    Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last

    1. This is mainly for the Avon flight but quite easily for anyone within easy reach of the Mall Cribbs Causeway in Bristol.
      Every Wedneday evening the local GW shop is running some tables for a gaming community within the Mall.
      I have spoken to the organiser and have been told it is not exclusively for GW games, but what he is trying to make is a general gaming club.
      The organiser was more than happy to allocate a table for other games, which we can readily make use of.
      So if anyone would be interested in meeting up at Cribbs Causeway Bristol for a game here are some details.
      Timings 18:00 to 20:45.
      The table available ( at least to start with) is approx 3' x 3', but if enough of us I have something to extend that surface.
      Cost would be £1 per person , this would be used for insurance purposes by the organiser.
      The area is locted on the First Floor in a Coffee bar area near te GW shop & M&S.
      I am quite happy to supply the gaming materials , as much as I can, but feel free to bring your own if you wish.
      To start with I would prefer to use miniatures but we can just use cards if preferred.
      So drop me a PM if you are interested and would like to meet up.
      The down side is due to my other worldy work I cannot attend for the next two weeks but can after that for a couple of weeks.
      Anyway if interested PM me, I shall post this on the main forum too

      Chris, the Mall is only a few minutes away from where I am. Sounds like an excellent idea! i'm also tied up for the next few weeks - probably couldn't manage anything this month, but December should be quieter.

      Hi Boney 10

      I am unable to come to Wednesday evening WOW games as that clashes with my own local club meetings in Taunton.
      If you ever do any weekend do's I could possibly join you then.
      Keep up the good work.

    Any game will suit me, I'm still quite a novice.
    Last Wednesday got shot down in an Albatross DIII twice in two games, although the oponent was a Bregeut, quite a tough nut to crack.
    See you on Wednesday

    SWMBO has just announced that she's going to be late home from work on Wednesday. I'll be loooking after the kids, but with luck she'll be back early enough for me to make the second half of the session.

    SWMBO returned at 2200 and was completely apolgetic when she realised she'd stayed out late and ruined my gaming evening. How did the game go?

    I'm in Scotland next week, Italy the week after so I'll not be available for any games then, but should be OK for later in April

    Just the two of us doing WOW, we had 4-5 games with various fighters, finally finishing when they turned the lights out.
    Had a good time but most of the games seemed to be decided by explosion cards with me mostly going down
    Thanks for the games Chris a very enjoyable evening.

    Hi chaps just to say Im off shift this coming Wed 23 so the Avon night is on again. Same as usual time 18:30 until 21:00
    Thanks to Don for last week a good time, unfortunately marred by the explosion card, also it seems we took the "Knights of the Air" a bit too literally as most damage done by collisions lol.
    Will be starting designing some better scens for future games.
    PM me if you need directions etc

    A good trio of games last night - actually pretty appalling fom my persective as both times I flew the DH.2 I drew the dreaded "bang" card (once as my earstwhile opponent was about to burn out of the sky), and in the third game (where I'd switched to an Eindecker) my chance for revenge was brought to an end by a mid-air collision. Curses, but I shall have my revenge!!

    Thanks to Chris for bringing the "toys" - I dashed out of the house in a real hurry and forgot to bring the seaplanes and boats

    WW2 gets its first outing in a couple of weeks I think

    Sounds like a good time was had by one and mostly all Dave. I am working on my Swimbo, and my neice who lives in Brizol. Hope to get them to agree on a trip down soon. I have stipulated that it must include a Wednesday/ Thursday stopover.

    Wednesdays are looking bad for the next few weeks. Portsmouth next week (may be back by 7 but unlikely). Same thing the following week, then Delft the week afterwards and Washington the week after that. I should be around on July 6th, then away for another couple of Wednesdays. Apart from the 6th my first gaming Wednesday is therefore likely to be July 27th!

    A good trio of games tonight, thanks to Dave, with Laura and Don really enjoyed it. Although myself with Don playing Central seemed to have some sort of attraction to the fire bug.
    Don is also going to have a word with his armourer, in each game, he managed to jam with his first shot.
    I tried out Hippert for his first flight, was doing fine until I managed to draw the dreaded boom card after being shot at by young Laura (sigh).
    Look forward to the next time.

    Some pics from last night's game.

    Laura's personal Sopwith Camel (based on R.L. Hollingsworth's 204 Sqn. aircraft)



    This is my latest repaint (I was supposed to be doing an RNAS machine for my "Wings and Waves of War" game at the Gosport naval wargames show next week, but got distracted)

    Laura's first game of the night saw her victorious, but in game #2 she acciedentslly flew off the table (although there is some suspicion that she just left poor old dad hanging out to dry in his DH.4 whilst she nipped home for tea and buns), and in game #3 she met her come-uppance. Note good use of flame and smoke markers

    A good game last night very enjoyable although I seemed to have a bit of a Phoenix tendency of bursting into flames at the first hint of combat.

    Great pics Dave.
    I will try to post up my KoTA with Dave from last night on the Forum later today if i get chance. There was rather a lot of fire and smoke in that one too.
