Love that film

**Dan-Sam** · 05-27-2023 05:48

OK, about Doncaster event and by attention. I definitely want to come, probably with my friend Pavel, who is not an active player, but maybe he'll join several missions to. Unfortunately, there aren't any direct flights to Leeds, so the target will be Machester Airport, than York (NRM!) and Doncaster for weekend.
Badge just for me, please.

**Hedeby** · 05-27-2023 06:21

Manchester only a short train ride from Sheffield or Doncaster. Happy to provide a Taxi if you can get to Sheffield (or Doncaster)

**tikkifriend** · 05-27-2023 06:47

I did it several times by a train via Peak District (I've been in Edale for few days back in 2012 with my wife). Leeds was simply closer, but this is not a serious trouble. I'll check Sheffield too.
Thank you for your offer, very kind

I seem to remember the last time we had a painting competition, we had one entry.

Hey guys - Touting for business at Donnie 2023 - I've written a WWI Mission, which I'm calling "The White Cliffs Raid" in which A single Gotha GV, two Hansa Brandenberg W29s and a HB W12 set out to bomb / strafe facilities in Dover in early 1918. The Home defence will be 4 Sopwith Camels and an "A" firing Sopwith Baby. Room for nine takers max, but can take fewer if folk happy to run more than one model. I'll provede all necessary equipment of course. Grateful you give it some consideration and I shall post the Mission Brief when its called for. Cheers,

Mike

**Hu Rhu** · 06-29-2023 12:15

Count me in for that one.

Hello Mike

Put me down for "The White Cliffs Raid"

Done

**Guntruck** · 07-10-2023 08:07

A little bit on my planned Spanish Civil War game. It is early 1937 and the Republican Premier Juan Negrin is touring the front line by train, in an attempt to boost his troops morale. The Nationalists plan to eliminate him thus bringing on a further collapse in the Republican morale. But first they have to find him. Condor Legion recce units set out to locate his train, and once they have they call in the bombers to finish the job. However, the Republican air force might have something to say about that.

The game is set in a transitional period at a time when each side is bringing on board more modern aircraft, but the Republicans are are still flying all manner of interesting rubbish, and the Legion Condor have yet to deploy their latest aircraft in any kind of numbers.

I can take up to 10 players for the game

**tikkifriend** · 07-10-2023 10:11

Me Please Sir

Put me down for that one Steve. Looks very, very interesting.
Reg

**Hu Rhu** · 07-14-2023 07:28

That looks interesting. I'd like to play if it can be fitted in.

**Aardvark1430** · 07-15-2023 03:04

Hi Steve, I would like to join your game. But please put me in the International Brigade as I don't speak Spanish ...

cheers,
Guus

**Aardvark1430** · 07-15-2023 03:28

Can anyone point me to the gameslist and timetables ? I'm pretty certain I have seen it, but I can't find it anymore

Thanks in advance

There is a partial list here, post 65

**Hedeby** · 07-15-2023 08:22

Here we go folks, still a couple of gaps which are looking for volunteers to fill.
If people would like to start selecting their preferences I will start completing that list as well

**Aardvark1430** · 07-15-2023 09:59

Mark (Woof) is running it, he runs a good game.

**Hu Rhu** · 07-15-2023 14:31

I have booked to play White Cliffs, then happy to play the WW2 tbc and would like to be added to the Spanish Civil War game.

**akrimpen** · 07-16-2023 02:14

If there are still openings, I would like to join the White Cliff raid and Spanish Civil war please!

I'm sure he does. Still doesn't tell us what it's about though

Anyway, I'll go for White Cliffs and Race of Glory, and I suppose I ought to do the Spanish Civil war game as well.

And Zombicide on Friday please.

**tikkifriend** · 07-17-2023 00:24

Spanish Civil war ,Race for Glory and since sky captain is a mystery its got to be Vera Lynn

**mikeemagnus** · 07-17-2023 13:09

Arjan and Steve (Guntruck) added to my list for White Cliffs Raid. So far that makes five players -Gary (Hu Rhy), Reg ( Rebel), Iain (Camel Crew, Arjan (akrimpen) and Steve (Guntruck). There are five RFC / RNAS aircraft and four Central Powers aircraft. With players taking on one or two models each the game can run - could take up to four more players if each player runs one model. Boards are complete, models and paperwork ready; really looking forward to the event.

After the White Cliffs Raid, I'd like to go with the Race for Glory, followed by Two Seater Mahem if that's ok, although I have to say, The Spanish Civil War and Copenhagen both look really tempting too

**Woof** · 07-19-2023 15:34

Apologies for my lack of communication regarding my Doncaster game. I have just got back home following a cruise with HM grey funnel lines.

Whilst I have been working on a scenario loosely based on the film "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" (P-40s vs pulp sci-fi style robots), unfortunately there are still too many things to do to make it ready in time. I'm still happy to run a WWII based game, and have a couple of options that are ready to go:

Either:
Coral Sea 1942: Attack on the Shoho
or
No Ball: RAF attack on V1 emplacements

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 07-19-2023 23:51

That is the first time I have heard of The Grey Funnel Line Mark, in spite of having been an avid re-enactor in several periods over the years. Have you got any pictures of your group?
Rob.

**Hedeby** · 07-20-2023 02:07

Ooh has to be attack on the V1 site

Add me to the list as well Mike.

**camel crew** · 07-20-2023 04:04

Hello Mark

Put me down for the RAF attacking V1 sites, if I've got an open slot for it.

**Hedeby** · 07-20-2023 05:30

I will pull together a tables list and share

Mark, with that pedigree I would have thought that you would have been ensconced in the other room with the boaty boys
