DONCASTER 2015 - EVENT ORGANISATION

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

It's official Doncaster 2015 event organisation is open: 12 available slots.

1. Saturday 9 gaming slots. (3 tables with 3 slots of 1 x3hour, 1 x 2 hour and 1 x2.5hour per table)).

2. Sunday 3 gaming slots. (3 tables 1 slot each of 3 hours).

3. Sunday Pm for those remaining the finale game, a surprise game already booked.

Games Organisers Notes:
1. Games organisers should PM me with their game idea, title, time slot preferred, special requirements (ie overseas organisers needing items to run game etc).
2. All PM's should reach me no later than August 15th.
3. Each potential games organiser can run 1 game which takes up 1 slot.
4. Please indicate which day you can attend so games can be allocated, if you haven't already asked for a slot.
5. Games should cater for a minimum of 6 players to a maximum of 10.
6. Any slots not taken by end of August 2015 will be open for first come first taken.
7. Games with duplicate themes, organisers may be asked if they have an alternative. In this instance first posted takes precedence.
8. Each game slot will start on time, organisers are to ensure they have set up before hand. (Help is on hand).
9. Each game slot will finish 10 minutes before the noted finish time for points count ups, allocation of prizes (if any) and packing away. This allows organisers the chance to play in other games.
10. Organsiers can award a prize of their own to their game winner if they wish.
11. Games can be WW1, WW2 or SoG orientated.
12. Further information on the Ace of Aces trophy will be published closer to the date.

So get thinking, get posting and lets make Doncaster 2015 a weekend to remember.

Neil

[Nightbomber]

Uhm... Neil, should we, the humble participants, book a table/game as well or you just aim at GMs of sorts?

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

We are looking at people who want to put on games at present Andrzej.

Once the programme is finalised then people can put their names down for games.

Like last year but we are giving more opportunity for others to run games and are hoping for a good, diverse selection for everyone to enjoy.

Neil

[Hedeby]

Splendid stuff Neil, you organise the games I'll sort out taxi's, lifts and drinkies

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

4 slots gone already.

Get in fast before they've all gone.

Here's your chance to put on that game you've always wanted to.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

OK chaps need a quick count up here:

Can we have a tally from all attending on Saturday as to who can bring a Lancaster or 2 and or FW190's?

Cheers, Neil.

[Guntruck]

I can do that. Anton or Dora's for the 190's?


OK chaps need a quick count up here:

Can we have a tally from all attending on Saturday as to who can bring a Lancaster or 2 and or FW190's?

Cheers, Neil.

[Boney10]

For the Lancaster, preferably not the Dambuster one

[hawkhurst]

I have 3 Lancaster 1 is not the Dambuster version and 3 FW190

[Hedeby]

OK chaps need a quick count up here:

Can we have a tally from all attending on Saturday as to who can bring a Lancaster or 2 and or FW190's?

Cheers, Neil.

Lancaster for me Neil (not dambuster)

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Total so far Chris:

Non Dambuster Lancs = 5
Dambuster Lancs = 4
FW190 = 6 plus Steve's tally.
ME110 = 5
Spitfire IX = 5

Could we also add into the mix Spitfire IX's and ME110 (nightfighter variants) please.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Hedeby (Chris) has a near close total of 34 participants over the 2 days. Surely we have more people who would like to put on a game?

If your short of planes I'm sure we can organise between those attending enough to cover your game requirements, so don't let that stop you.

We will have more than enough gaming mats so don't worry about those either. But bring your own if you have one or four.

Neil

[Flying Officer Kyte]

2 Dambuster Lancs. One none Buster Lanc.
Rob.

[Flying Helmut]

1 Fw190D
2 Bf110 nightfighters. Or maybe more. It's dark in that cupboard, so they're camouflaged!

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Updated post 11

[hawkhurst]

3 Bf110 nightfighter
4 Mk9 Spitfires

what else you looking for Neil

[Guntruck]

Updated post 11

How late do you want to take this? I've got some Mk XIV Spitfires and Tempests.

[Boney10]

What is needed are non Dambuster Lancs , FW190 and Me110

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Chris with the totals mentioned and what you explained you needed I reckon it's just non Dam buster Lancs that are required.
Neil

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

30 days left to claim your slot to put on a game chaps.

[Hedeby]

What slots have been taken thus far Neil? ooh its getting exciting...

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

29 days to go. 4 slots taken. Come on chaps don't leave it all to a few to make this weekend a success.

[Nightbomber]

I am in, Neil, one slot for my game please:).

[tikkifriend]

I could only do a Saturday slot as the plane leaves sunday afternoon.

[tikkifriend]

Checked the tickets and could poss squeeze an early start Sunday, but would prefer a Saturday to be safe. Any particular preference for WGF orWGS

[Nightbomber]

No special time/slot for my game, Neil since I will left on Sunday with Rob and Eileen, my plane leaves on Monday morning.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Andrzej and Paul thank you for stepping up to the plate.

Paul I will schedule your game for a slot Saturday. You can have WGF or WGS no problem. Any aircraft requirements let me know as soon a possible.
Andrzej I will gear your slot for Saturday at present. I'm on a kindle. No access to my email until tonight.

Thank you again.

Neil

[Nightbomber]

Just late war Entente and German planes for my game codename Operation Michael;), Neil.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

OK then chaps I assume we can fill this up with enough DVII, DVIII and Snipe et al aircraft for Andy to put his on? (single seaters only)

Just late war Entente and German planes for my game codename Operation Michael;), Neil.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

OK just as a heads up we have the following games lined up:

The Finale: Fun game to finish with on Sunday afternoon.

That's 11 of 13 slots.

[Nightbomber]

:)Neil, it is going to be March 1918 so any planes available then will do as well:)

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

28 days to go.

[Hedeby]

I have an interesting take on the bombing rules which could prove amusing (and not totally unrealistic, lol) for the two seater game, plus also going to include strafing and photography as well, just to add some complexity

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I await your unveiling of these rules with anticipation mixed with a little disquiet Chris.;)
Rob.

[tikkifriend]

I might need early Spits , Hurries 109s and perhaps a110 or 2

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Let me know numbers and we can see what we can do. I have Med/Africa painted stuff including JU52's. Let me know and we'll get it sorted.

Neil


I might need early Spits , Hurries 109s and perhaps a110 or 2

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

We have a nice balance of WW1/WW2 and a SoG game in the mix too. 2 slots available.

[Hedeby]

I await your unveiling of these rules with anticipation mixed with a little disquiet Chris.;)
Rob.

All aspects of health and safety have been fully observed

Is there a page / post somewhere with the basic details of the event somewhere? Specifically I'm looking for starting and ending times so I can figure out how many night at a hotel might be required. It looks like the mess is now fully booked, so some shopping around will be in order.

[NeilCFord]

[NeilCFord]

Got a cracking deal at the Travelodge Lakeside, so am booked for Friday and Saturday nights! Looks like I'm coming to Doncaster!

- Neil.

[Nightbomber]

That is a very good news, Neil:).
With the growing number of participants we will need either official UK Wing shirts with nicks or badges with names! I will bring a badge of mine for sure:)

[Hedeby]

Is there a page / post somewhere with the basic details of the event somewhere? Specifically I'm looking for starting and ending times so I can figure out how many night at a hotel might be required. It looks like the mess is now fully booked, so some shopping around will be in order.

Neil

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Paul would half a dozen be ok for you and Mary?

Neil

[Nightbomber]

This year you are going to taste real, tasty, smelling, high quality sausages, pilots. Something real Aces can only dream about between missions. ;)

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.

I'd love to do my WW1 seaplanes and coastal forces game again but I've signed up to play in all the sessions now and what with one thing and another I could do with a reduced pressure weekend, sorry

[David Manley]

Don't feel obliged to share your lurgy with us this year Dave ;)

I shall be dosing up with Dettol and carbolic before setting out, just as a precaution :D

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Don't forget best brown paper and paraffin oil.

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.

- Neil.

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.....

Cake .... and BEER, mind you the wonderful Ringbolt (Jez) has that covered with a furkin of fine ale.. what a top man

[NeilCFord]

I believe Andy's game is 9am Saturday, which might just be a little early for beer. But on the other hand, maybe not...

I will have one with me, Rob. No need to get a new one.

Kev (Flt. Brown) will be joining us on the Sunday, Baron Rolf (Mark) and Brambo (Trev) unconfirmed but hoping to attend, also pretty sure Kev (Ringbolt) is coming, his +1 is an ale furking hopefully)

[Nightbomber]

Brambo unconfirmed... :erk: :brickwal:

[johnbiggles]

Spoke to Trev the other day, treatment not progressing well sadly.
He hopes to come on the Sunday. He can still drive ok, but he can't reach out or sideways much so cannot move planes on a table!!.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

I'm sure we can always move them for him.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I am sure we can.
it would be great to see him again.
Rob.

[johnbiggles]

I've offered that here (we fly at the same club on occasion) but it's not the same.
We could find something to twist that won't cripple him if we get together though perhaps, give him the manoeuver deck, and start the plane on the far side of the table maybe:confused:

[Flying Helmut]

So sorry to hear Trev's progress is not quicker than it is.
It would be great to see him again at Doncaster.

If he controls the damage decks again, he could slip another one or two Boom cards to Hedeby on the sly................;)

[Hedeby]

Aah that old chestnut, I fall for it every time...

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Trev can always use my wind assisted bullets too......eh Chris?

Hi Chaps
Will there be any trade stands at the show selling the models? Still hoping to make the Sunday

Regards Kev

[Hedeby]

Hi Chaps

Regards Kev

Not as such as this is a 'members only' event - however Stafford Games will be turning up with as much stock as he can carry for both Wings and Sails, I am sure we will find his prices on the day more than reasonable. I am sure we can liaise and if you supply a 'most wanted' list we could sort something out even if Stafford come on the Saturday and you miss them. Or we could ring you and talk through what he has etc... many ways of getting you your 'fix'. lol

[FLt Brown]

Thanks for the info sounds like a plan?

Regards Kev

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

With all the will in the world I don't think we will have any more takers for game slots or possibly many more attendees.

So here is the full programme for Doncaster:
173145
Game 1 table 2 might be a non-starter. We will leave final decision on the day. Neil is aware of this.

Ok then full list and what games they are down for: (numbers refer to tables: O1,2,3 refer to organisers)

[Nightbomber]

Neil and other Chaps!

Since this year is the well known 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain - wouldn't it be nice to have one scenario played just in honour of the pilots fighting those days? I am aware of the fact it means a change in the planned games, but what if we play Ace of Aces final tournament on Saturday just as BoB instead of the WGF?
No planes progress, but a simple respawning rule. There could be waves of He 111s, Stukas, Me 110 opposed by Spits and Hurries.
An epic Adlertag Battle I see...
Lots of planes circling above Dover, bombs falling, sound of sirens...just WoW!;)
What do you think?

[Flying Officer Kyte]

No worries Andy.
It is already in hand.
We are trying to get each country to do one dedicated battle if they have an event during the BoB period this year.
Rob.

[tikkifriend]

Nice one Andy

[Nightbomber]

Thanks Paul.
I am affraid we would miss something important if we, the WGF/WGS gamers did not play a single BoB scenario at Donnie to commemorate the anniversary:).
I do not want to ruin someone else's plan (@Rob,Neil&Chris) at all, but the final Sat game seems to be more than adequate. :takecover: These are just 2 cents.

[tikkifriend]

Yes an interest in making sure I'm not sneaking more planes home!

You could always mail them to me Neil , I would pass them on :) :minis:

Although my game slot is WWII Its more of a "Great Escape" scenario rather than a strictly dogfight/intercept, although I do foresee a fair bit of Me 110 Vs Spits action. :)

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I was actually thinking that one of the ordinary WW2 games could be re arranged rather than the Ace of Aces, which if changed would preclude those who did not play WW2.
The original idea I had was to do it at The World Champs, as we have more wiggle room there, and visitors who were not members, but Andy's suggestion looked like a good solution.
I don't really mind one way or the other. It's an event for the membership, not me.

[Nightbomber]

I does not have to be run by any GM, Neil.
Of course, let the attendees decide.
There seems to be a lot of time, so let's treat it rather "lightly", like a leisure Battle of Britan for all, even those newcomers to WGS. I picture it as a two team epic game consisting of some bombing runs with escorts opposed by the Few. No collisions, no altitude rules, no advanced options like +A consecutive shooting, simplified level bombing. Just a fun memorable BoB scenario that everybody would enjoy and remember. It is just my first thought, no pressure of course:).
I will gladly play any game (as probably everyone of us will do) and Ace of Aces is an absolutely great project. :serious:

[Hedeby]

Would absolutely love a BoB scrap (as I do have my ME-109 to fly), but would prefer to keep the ace of aces game as it is, if we could get both that would be perfect

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

OK I'll start a new thread and everyone attending can vote.

Is that not :minis: suitcase?


Time to start packing the micro suitcases Ryanair allow on board.

Time to start packing the micro suitcases Ryanair allow on board.

Now :minis: I can understand travelling in cabin baggage although Ryanair and their handling companies (predominantly Menzies Aviation) are excellent for Hold Baggage @ Destination. Not Breakfast in New York: Dinner in London ... Luggage in Mumbai! It is the way hold baggage does tend to get thrown around automated baggage systems and handballed off them and onto baggage trains which would concern me.

I have only ever transported :minis: in their default boxes and by road and had no problems in doing so - but this is very different. Do :minis: travel like this well and what best in - KR carry cases?

KR Cases are the bees knees. I'd love to bring some over this year but Doncaster is only a stop off for a couple of days before we head off to see our son and family in Spain near Gib. So it's a bit tricky.and risky , as you said in your post

Hey Neil what's with the "Bullseye" handle??

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

It's an Origins thing.

[tikkifriend]

Gotcha

27 Days to D Day and 28 to S Day.

Permission to become mildly excited :salute:

[David Manley]

Chaps, have realised that through various planning issues and real world issues that weekend is probably the last chance I will have to see the Vulcan fly. She's flying from Donnie both days so there is a very high chance that one of the two afternoons that weekend I will be heading over to the airport to see her go.

[Hedeby]

Don't blame you, I am lucky that her take off route is right over my house

[Hedeby]

Permission to become mildly excited :salute:

At what point do we move from mildly excited to wildly and inappropriately excited?

[Flying Officer Kyte]

:hmm: We don't Flight Leader.
For anyone residing in France probably sometime next week.;)
You will have to watch Paul's posts for symptoms such as.:singin::clap:and :lol:



hysterically.

[RJB]

Hi all
I have been offline for a while so not keeping up with things (anything happen whilst I was away?)
I would love to have come to Doncaster but unfortunately my regiment in the Sealed Knot is hosting a muster that weekend and I will be helping to set up and clear up.
The upside is that it is at The Tank Museum :thumbsup: and I am very much a treadhead.
A weekend of gunpowder, tanks and beer :pint: joy!

I hope all you pilots going to Donnie have a great time :guns::fokker::crash::drinks:

Well I guess I underestimated how much of a Francophile you have become Paul.
Must be all that wine and Baguettes.
Quick Neil break out the emergency Stotties.:D

Thanks Neil , got my Beret packed and an Andouille sausage to go with the Camembert. The baguette can wait, the call of the Stottie and pease pudding is too strong.

I would like to take this opportunity to give Tim (Flying Helmut) a Big Big thank you for providing all of the aircraft for the ace of aces game.
Some 84+ aircraft in all.

Tim this game would have been hard to put on without your invaluable assistance, now it more than just a reality it is stupendous.
