Thread: DONCASTER 2015 - EVENT ORGANISATION

  1. #1

    Default DONCASTER 2015 - EVENT ORGANISATION

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    1 Lancaster B Mk 1 - Groggs The Shot.

    1 Lancaster B Mk 1 - Can be used for Wings of Glory it is 1/200 scale but with a slight bodge of a paint job.

    3 x Me Bf 110C-7

    Fleet Action: A Sails of Glory fleet game.
    Hunting high and low: WW1 scouts late war Op Michael based.
    Op Pedestal: Malta WW2. Italian and Germans attack the convoy. Convoy covered by air cover from the fleet and Malta.
    Hunt the Zeppelin: WW1 pick your plane against Zeppelins.
    2 seater mayhem: WW1 2 seater action.
    Lancaster Run: WW2 bomber action. FW190's and ME110's trying to stop the bombers.
    JU52: WW2 short action game revolving around 1 or more JU52's.
    Ace of Aces: WW1 this game takes up all the last 3 Saturday afternoon slots. (to be confirmed)
    The Finale: Fun game to finish with on Sunday afternoon.

    That's 11 of 13 slots.

    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
