    Default Doncaster 2017 Games:

    I'm starting early for 2017.

    Would those who would like to put a game on at Doncaster 2017 please PM me, include the era ie WGF, WGS or sails. A brief summary of game. Work out the game based on 8 players with a possible 10, not including the umpire/game organiser.

    Cheers Neil.

    We now have 2 confirmed games for Doncaster 2017.

    The Battle of Aboukir Bay or the Battle of the Nile: Run by Sven. Mighty 3rd and 1st rates slug it out.

    The Battle of Lissa: Run by Chris. A frigate only battle.

    OK I now have some good and not so good news.

    The good news: At present we only have 2 free slots available for games.

    The not so good news: Until we hear otherwise we will only have 2 table running, hence the 2 fre slots available.

    A brief look ahead:

    Friday: Sails, Pirates; WW2 Fall of France; 2 free slots.

    Saturday: WW1 as 2016 and WW2 Battle of Britain mini campaign.

    Sunday: Sails, Abukir Bay & Lissa; WW2 Dieppe & Convoy Bash.

    If we can confirm there is space for 3 tables then that will give us another 7 slots.

    Could all attendees please state your preferences for the games being run at Doncaster this year so the game organisers can plan their requirements well in advance.

    Please PM me so I can update the game free slots chart weekly.

    Thank you all again.

    Of everyone who informed me they were coming I have 15 outstanding members to let me know what games they are playing. Slots are filling up fast.

    If those 15 commit then every game will have a minimum of 8 players, the larger games a minimum of 10.

    So if you want to play in a game get your name down fast.

    There is only 1 slot left for Jager's Lend Lease 'Sink von der Tann' game.

    Abukir Bay (Saturday morning is for a maximum of 8 players and cannot be extended) 2 slots remaining.

    At present there is no 3rd table game organised for the last time slot on Saturday. I intend to leave this open as a free table for anyone not wanting to play in one of the organised games to play a game of their choice.

    A note for all members putting on organised games:

    1. Please let me know if you have any special requirements, ie models or terrain cloth etc so these can be organised well in advance.

    2. Could those games that have 8 slots, with the exception of Abukir Bay, work on a maximum of 12 players for your games just in case.

    3. At present Karls (Jagers) game will be a maximum of 14 players only.

    Ok chaps. 1st of September will be the last posted update.

    Those who have not booked slots at games can still do so afterwards but I will not be posting any updates.

    The sheets will be printed off as of 5th September and any late comers will just be pencilled in. Others arriving at the door will have to take pot luck I'm afraid.

    Just an interesting bye line on Karl's game Neil.
    Whilst in Scarborough on Saturday Mrs K and I happened upon the Maritime Museum. One of the exhibits was about the shelling of the town by our old friends Derfflinger and Von der Tann no less. For your edification I took these photos of the area covered by the 750 odd shells so far identified.
