Hello Chris
can you guide me to the link or Simon.

Are there any infos about missions/scenarios for the event ?
Coming up shortly... just need to haul myself off the patio, away from the cold beer and onto the laptop. I will provide latest update this evening.
Hi Chris, have you and Rob decided what major fleet action will be happening in room #1 this year, obviously there will be copious quantities of port and a few sea shanties and some pesky scenery to sail into..
As promised here we are with names and games thus far. We could do with another volunteer to run a WW2 game on the Saturday, there are also slots free on the Friday afternoon, but thought given Friday numbers and varying arrival times etc. we would always have a couple of board games going on (Zombicide for instance - always good for a laugh). There are a couple of Sails chaps missing from this list who usually attend, I will reach out to them (or speak to Rob) to see if they are joining us this year.
If you have a preference for any particular game please let me know and I will start to populate the tables, we can also juggle games/tables to suit the number of players.

Although appreciate this list might change
Lets start talking chaps and make this the best one yet... think we all deserve that.
Sorry Chris, unfortunately I will have to withdraw my offer of a Spain '38 game, due to real life putting a Spaniard in the works :(. Hopefully I will be able to put this on at Doncaster 2022.
No worries Steve, I’m sure we can plus the gap. Does this mean we won’t see you at all?
Team Guntruck will still be there, fear not.
That sir, is great news.
Chris, I know it is simply too far, but do you have any expactations about travel restrictions?
Honestly Dan, I have no idea, the goalposts seem to move on a daily basis, I’m not 100% certain I can get there, and I’ll be walking, lol. I just pray our friends from over the channel can get here, it is what makes the event special.
It is obvious that nobody knows. We'll se what happened until event. Hope at least for cheap flights and accommodation.
You want me to run THREE BSG games, lasting the whole day? :eek:
OK, I'll try to cook 'em up...
...maybe something on Toast(er) ;)
You don’t have to do all three Tim, you need to be able to play as well as run.
So.. putting a call out to WW2 fans, we could do with another volunteer to run a game at Doncaster? Any takers ?
Just a heads up from South of the Channel or as Boris likes to call it Amber Plus country.
As things stand there is no possibility of Mary and me getting into the UK without going into isolation and haveing tests on day 2 and 5. There is also the danger of the UK declaring France a Red country wich would really bugger us up as after Doncaster we head for Spain. But seeing as
A We are only here for 4 days and
B We came here not to look at a hotel wall but to mix with you guys.
it seems an impossible option.
We are both double vacinated and our health passport lets us travel in Europe but since the UK left the EU these count for nothing.
Barring a miracle and Boris et al dropping the Amber plus label its another missed year at Doncaster for us :cry:
NOOOOOOOOO
Hopefully things will improve
Hi Chris, I've pm'd you some WW2 options.
Most of them are designed for larger numbers but if people take 2 planes the games should still work
I can do session 1 and 3 if absolutely necessary, there are options which will bracket BoB nicely.
Game preference
Ruth-Sails of Glory
Hannah- WWI
Amy- WWI ( but might be helping me on WWII)
Me-WWII
Is there a separate thread for the program? Thanks!
Coming up shortly good sir... well as soon as I get my laptop out later
Five weeks to go... printing off sheets of the ever popular bullet hole stickers as we speak. Nothing on the news about any potential stupid travel changes, so fingers crossed things are looking good. I shall book a table in the usual place for the Saturday night, although not sure what the rules are now about having one large table, we’ll have to see on that one.
OK Table(s) booked for the Saturday at 7:30, went for 25 with the option to increase or decrease seven days before. Just relying on Boris and his minions not to stuff it up for us now...
Is that a long table or several ?
Do you need a health pass to get into either the Museum or the pub? and will they accept EU ( dare i mention the name ) certificates? :lol:
Probably a couple of tables and no passes needed in either pub or museum
No passes needed, it isn't France you know :)
Although we can have someone at the door with a coalscuttle on their head asking to see "YOUR PAPERS!" if you like :D
Wrong place to put this but I'm getting rid of my Sails and Battlestar Galactica stuff. I'll post a list and if anyone's interested that is hoping to Doncaster I'll bring it with me.
A common situation :(Quote:

Much as I like the game (and love the TV show) it was never more than a novelty compared to WGF and WGS.
Now the loss of the Game Rights seems to have killed the game off.
Folks left and right are selling off their collections.
I've added two other peoples collections to my own, and am now maxed out.
So far, there appear to be no takers at all for a BSG game at Doncaster.
That's fine, so long as I can slip over to participate on another table instead. I won't bring my stuff if there is no need for it.
I am considering my T&T in much the same vein Tim although I shall of course be keeping the aircraft!
Rob.
I hate to disappoint, old chap ;)
Fair enough Tim, I will reshuffle and free you up to play whatever takes your fancy, there were a couple of takers but probably not enough to be able to run anything meaningful...
