Gravesend Wargamers Club - War & Conquest Gaming Day

I had a long chat with Phil and Reece (above) from Gravesend Wargamers Club at SELWG last month. They asked if I wouldn't mine promoting their War & Conquest Gaming Day on the 1st December. So here it is, I'm not working on the 1st,  but I'll  have a chat with SWMBO, but after the weekend away at Blog-Con next week I'm not holding up much hope. It could, (who am I kidding)?? Would cost me????

Rome and their many enemies

The Dark Ages

Attendees are urged to read the 'Battle Begins' section starting on page 153. You can download a set of cards with the Battle Objectives from our web site to speed up selection. Remember, 'No Plan Survives Contact with the Enemy' on page 159.

Terrain

Items of club terrain will be on the tables. Don't forget to select at least one Rally Point each. With that in mind, you will need to bring something to indicate your Rally Point, and if you wish to bring one or two items of terrain, that is absolutely fine.

Winning and Losing

There is no “street cred” in winning a game of toy soldiers. There will be a number of people who haven’t played much/at all, so please help them along and enjoy the day.

Finish time

About 5pm
