I'm working in Glasgow this week but all being well we are flying back on the late afternoon flight. Its due in about 7pm, so if it gets in on time I should be able to pop in on my way home for the last game. I'm really hoping this will be more successful than last week's failed attempt!

Good news on the new recruitment drive!

Hi chaps, this coming Wednesday the 1 February, am available for a game at the Mall Cribbs causeway. Same time same place.

[David Manley]

I'm afraid I'll be travelling back from Holland on Wednesday night. I don't think the flight gets in until 9pm

[Burt]

Sorry Chris, can't make it this Wednesday.
Don

[Boney10]

Hi chaps, I am available this comng Wednesday the 8th February for a game at the Mall.
Let me know if you can make it or not and Ill book a table

[David Manley]

I think I'll be OK for this. I'm in Farnborough for the day but should be back in time. With luck the new delivery will have arrived by then

[Burt]

Damn can't make it, I've just arranged to have a WOW game on Wednesday 8th at my house with my local gaming mates.
Don

[David Manley]

A large box of Shapeways goodies was waiting for me when I got home today. The bombers look rather nice I will do some quality control to make sure they are OK and work out the costs this evening. Chris, I'll bring yours to the Mall tomorrow. Don, I'll bring yours too, just in case you decide to move your game to the Mall

[Burt]

Great news Dave
Sorry but will not be able to move to Cribbs for the game.
Will try and meet up soon as possible.
Don

[David Manley]

Sorry but will not be able to move to Cribbs for the game.

I was only joking I'll just sit here for a while and appreciate your lovely new bombers...........

[Boney10]

We could always share them out and say they got lost in the post, do you think Don would notice

[Burt]

Nooooooooooo not my lovely bombers

We could always share them out and say they got lost in the post, do you think Don would notice

[Boney10]

Ahh you noticed

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Memo from Adjutant's Office.
Have you got a Chitty for transfering Bombers to another airfield? Transport Command have no record of this move.
You will just have to keep them until this is sorted out at HQ.
Kyte.

[Burt]

Sorry sir,
I do have a couple of green drinking vouchers that might smooth things over with the chaps in the adjutants office.

[David Manley]

Don, box cleared

I've booked the usual table at the mall for a game this Wednesday. All are welcome to join. Starting at 6pm, running on to half eight to 9. There may be one or two new toys to play with this week

Will get there as soon as possible but will probably be about 1900.

Will we get some pictures of these new toys after the game Dave?
Rob.

[David Manley]

Yes, and maybe even before if I get my camera recharged.

[David Manley]

OK, so the evening didn't exactly go as planned. having finished a load of Kampflieger models I was itching to give them a run out. All my Kampflieger models are mounted on magnets since they don't have pegs, and I have four flight pegs with corresponding magnets on top to carry the planes. Alas they were NOT in the box of planes I took to the game! Which meant that, apart from the four planes in the deluxe set I'd taken along I couldn't "fly" any of my aircraft. So the first battle was a standard dogfight with the Spad, Camel, Albatros and dr1 (the Albatros was Don's - he arrived a bit later and cam on with his own rather lovely Albatros repaint. Stuart's Camel blew up, after which Laura decided discretion was the better part of valour and took her heavily damaged Spad off the table edge (OK, so she actually played a left turn when she should have played a right, but the story sounded plausible!) . The second game was a recce mission, both sides having a 2 seater, a scout as escort, and an objective to photograph on the other side of the table. I was doing OK in my Rumpler until Don killed my observer, so that was a mission kill as far as I was concerned. But then again, my escort did manage to drill Don's Camel which blew up (Camels proved to be rather fragile this evening!) Meanwhile, Laura had reached her objective and snapped a piccie or two and was beetling back to the Allied lines. Stuart got on her tail but his guns jammed and by the time he'd cleared the stoppage Laura was across the lines with the precious pictures and back home for tea and medals - well done Laura!

Anyway, no seaplanes out this time, and no nice piccies which will have to wait now until the weekend.

[Burt]

I was a bit miffed at blowing up in the second game but the mission was a success with Laura getting her pictures back so I think we won in the end.
Good game, good game.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Sounds as if you all had a good time. I am still working out how to get down for an evening. You would not believe the problems that throw themselves in the way of a simple trip to Bristol.
Rob.

[Boney10]

Sounds like a good evening had by all.
Unfortunately i am working next wednesday too but the two after that Ill be able to get along.

[David Manley]

I'm in Scotland next week and Don is playing at his local club so we'd not be able to get a team along anyway. I should be OK for one of those two following weeks, but we are off to sea for a while which I think will wipe out at least one Wednesday.

[Boney10]

Sorry chaps, not too well at the moment, the problem with working in a forced air enviroment once a cold takes hold it stays, however I digress.
cant make it tonight still a bit grotty but hopefully will be back in the sky next Wednesday 7 March

Sorry to hear that you are still not feeling too chipper Chris. Look after yourself mate, and take plenty of liquid refreshment.

I'm clear for the 7th, and Stuart should be OK to make it as well.

Thanks for the game Chris, nice to see C4 make it to the end of a game without blowing up or coming to a fiery end
