    Reg these are the spare slots for each game for player to put their names down for.

    I'm going to pm all the games organisers to plan for 8+1 ie 8 players and 1 playing organiser. With those yet to pick some if not all the spare slots will be taken.

    It's the best I can do without the 5 telling me which games they want to take part in. So for the remaining slots it's first come first served. Sort the rest out on the day.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    All right chaps.
    Those who have signed for the Beaufighters Game (and all otheres interested of course) may get the rules of engagement early before Donnie:
    Below is a link to a downloadable mission sheet in .pdf from my digi-loud.
    Do not be put off by the one die used in preliminary phase (suspense) and the rules, I promise to follow them.
    The rules have been changed slightly after playtesting, so it is version 1.2.
    Any questions are welcome.

    https://drive.google.com/folderview?...kU&usp=sharing

    I will be just mastering the game, not necessarily playing it by myself, for the comfort of the others.

    So far no word off 4 and the fifth has put himself down for 2 , games only. To make this fair for organisers tables will max out at 8+1 organiser.
    The few who have not put names to slots will just have to fill in when and where on the day.

    I'll take a Lancaster if I may Paul but I stopped using Brylcreem about 50 years back and I'm not starting again for anybody. Does that disqualify me?

    Reg you will be pleased to know that you will have 2 Lancasters to fly on the day. Chris (Hedeby) has the other flight.
    As for the Brycream that is optional on the day

    So far the players for the Raid on Hamburg are as follows

    RAF/USAF

    Lancs . Hedeby and Rebel 2 planes each.

    Lufwaffe

    Places full
    Nightbomber Guntruck and Skafloc. 2 planes each

    So Deadly M and Hawkhurst have the choice of 3 planes each Allied fighter cover. Thats Spits IX and P 51s

    unless someone desperately wants to play the B17 it will be retired from the roster as of today.

    Chris, do you have any sea like mats that you could bring? I do not have in mind the SoG mats which are so to say SoG oriented, but just a plain dark blue, grey or similar?
    I own a custom one, but not sure if I can fold it into my cabin luggage (probably will succeed anyway).

    If you need I can liaise with Simon to replace my sea with his covering, this will leave it for you to use.

    Just as an intro for my game:

    Coral sea 1/200 scale
    During the attack in the Coral Sea one of the smaller Japanese carriers suffered engine failure and was unable to take part in the failed attack. Admiral Yamamoto, not wanting to lose another carrier, dispatched the destroyer IJN Inedikazi to find the IJN Nosho.


    The destroyer has been spotted by the air group from the USS Yorktown and they proceed to follow the ship, hoping it would lead them to the fleeing Japanese fleet.

    US Players (5 max)
    Your task is to sink any Japanese ships in the area.


    The SBD dive bombers are equipped with 3 bombs each.
    The TBD bombers may have 3 bombs or 1 torpedo each.

    Japanese Players (3 max):


    You are flying aircraft from IJN Nosho, you must protect all Japanese ships in the area.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Hi Chris
    I like the "we all know what we are doing" bit ("As a teaser for my game - going to play with a few additional rule tweaks as we all know what we are doing....").
    I didn't know we were veering into the realms of fantasy!

    Default Hors de combat!

    I've had to bow out of Doncaster due to my back problem being worse that first thought.

    Paul - you'll need to find someone else who can bring the industrial mat and any planes you need

    Andy - similarly I can't provide the extra 190s I promised.

    Rob - I'll PM you about the cards I printed off from Mike's template

    Sorry to leave you in the lurch
