    OK time to start collecting numbers of attendees etc. So please shout out if you are a YES, NO or a Maybe for attending and also if you are up for running a game on the Friday afternoon or the Saturday. I will publish layout and timetable shortly. I know that we have a few of our European friends who can’t make it this year, but hopefully there are many who can. Would also be fantastic to see all those who have just recently joined us...

    Last year, UK was not easy to reach at all from continental Europe and I had to give up. This year I am again definitely wanting to join, if things will not be too difficult. Several friends from Rome are apparently willing to join. Let's see...

    Fine Dan.

    To party is an "informal" verb!

    verb: party; 3rd person present: parties; past tense: partied; past participle: partied; gerund or present participle: partying.

    You can therefore enjoy oneself at a party or other lively gathering, typically with drinking and music, or
    "put on your glad rags and party!"

    I'll be there. Happy to run a WW2 game again.
    Currently considering scenarios for Operation Crossbow, Starkey or something from the Pacific. Decision may or may not be based on if I get fed up of painting stripes on the typhoons, tempests, Mustangs and whirlwinds on my workbench!

    Yes from me Chris. I have a Sails game for first thing Saturday Morning, as it will need setting up the night before as usual.

    Some really good music there Iain.
    Just the sort of music for late nights in the bar.
    Reminds me of the South Bank clubs in Paris.

    Rather difficult making a choice (other than it's going to be something without sails) given the paucity of info available at this stage........

    is the China Seas game the one Skaffers was going to run a year or two ago?

    Table 2 for me on Saturday please.

    In case anyone is wondering- I'm planning to put on an Operation Crossbow scenario. A mix of Tempests chasing V1s, and Spits/Typhoons attacking a No Ball site.

    I have the Friday off this year so will be there for an evening game. Happy to put on a game (I have a Shoho Vs Lexington scenario if people want more WW2) otherwise I'll just join in with whatever is going on.

    Probably!

    I have no definite information on this, but I'm happy to run it again (I've got a few new wrinkles to add in!).
