EDIT: DATE & LOCATION CONFIRMED - 17th October, The Games Shop, Aldershot

Hi all,

The SoW playing members of my local club and myself have been talking for a long time of getting together & playing a stupidly large game of Seeds of war.

My Kraytonians themselves number about 4,000 points & James' Toasters aren't far behind. By the time we add another local Kraytonian army & 3 Pax Forces, we're already looking at a lot of mayhem!

Details are yet to be confirmed, but Provisional plan is for a Saturday in October (3rd, 10th, 17th or 31st) and the Games Shop in Aldershot is more than happy to host Us. Cost will be about £5 each for use of their war room for the day, with the option to set up on the Friday night if it looks like its going to be truly gargantuan .

The Games Shop is a really well set up gaming environment with lots of scenery and tables, as well as plenty of vending machines & facilities to keep us going... not to mention that the owner is a mate of mine too, so of course I'm not biased...

Dates, times and all details are awaiting confirmation, but drop me a line or post here if you're interested & I can get a better feel for what's needed!

Looking forward to a great Batrep... sadly unlikely that I'll be able to swim the pond to make it in person.

Do not fear - many a camera will be present & I will ensure I actually get photos up somewhere for this one (unlike all my other recent games  :rock:  :sad: )

Date & Location confirmed - see above!

Wow... now that was a game!!!

Unfortunately Photoshop is being a B*!h at the moment, so I'll crop etc & upload the rest of the photos some other time, but as a brief look at 20foot of 6mm goodness, Here's a glimpse of our mad day at the Aldershot games shop...

And the view from the outskirts of town, looking out over the suburbs towards the pituresque rolling hills, filled with yet more combatants....

That's crazy paul!

BTW: i only recently saw a picture of you and realised that i've been getting you and GW's 'Fat Bloke' confused for far too long! How old are you if i may ask and it's not a rude question?

I'm not sure if I should take that as a complement of gaming prestige, or an insult on other terms! :p

EDIT: A Picture of me? Where! it cant be so! I usually make sure all images of me are well obscured by paint brushes...

Oh well. I'm 27. Or 21 if you only count the years since my introduction to gaming ;)

Its 20ft by 4 ft.

We ended up playing "just" 5K a side (average game is about 600) . My Kraytonians allied with james' (aka Mr Toaster) Andrayada against Alex's (aka The 'Gers) and the "studio" pax armies. The original plan was to play more like 10K, wrapping the table into a huge "T", but lack of generals limited us to this level of mayhem - next time maybe!

More pics tomorrow  :grin:
