Four definite from Smogsville.
I have opened table 3, provisionally, at present.
Can we have some more players taking on putting on games please?
At present games should be set up for 7 players, with the possibility of increasing to 10 max.
Cheers.

Yes please chaps. Step up, it could be the start of a whole new aspect of your Wings experience, and you won't even have to do it in front of a crowd of punters.

OK everybody here is an update:
We have approximately 27 attending Saturday.
We have Chris (Hedeby) organising table 1 WW1. At present only Chris and John Biggles have put themsleves forward to run games.
We have myself, Nightbomber and Tikkifriend putting on WW2 games on table 2.
We have Chris (Boney10) putting on 1 confirmed game of Sails on table 3.
Those above have taken up the slack. There are 6 slots that could be run by other organisers, if they so wished.
Anyone wishing to put on a game has until 31st July to put themselves forward, otherwise we go with what we have. (Anyone requiring info for putting on a game please contact me as soon as possible).
On August 1st I would like to publish a tentative prgramme for Doncaster 2016.
Neil

Fantastic Reg. You have a WW2 slot for a BoB game. Could you send me the write up for the game before the end of the month please?

NP Paul. Got 2 190's if you need them.

I know I have PM'd you with these details but thought others might like to see what I will be up to.
If anyone can offer some Heinkel 111's and also early Spits, Hurricanes, 109's and 110's I would be greatful.
I currently have 1 x HE111, 4 x JU88, 3 x JU87, 6 x 109 and 3 x 110's, 2 x Hurricanes, 7 x Spitfires. I could add 3 x beaufighters if pushed.
Battle of Britain Game v1.2
Map of London (outline) with Thames Estuary and large enough to put satellite Airfields at relative distances and positions. Tangmere can be off map if space not available. British players can choose which Airfield they are based at. German Bomber players must dice (1 x D6) for where they cross the English Coast between Brighton and Ipswich. Divide into 6 sections.
Roll 2D6 Result =
2. Hun in the Sun. German Escort appears anywhere within close range of Enemy. Stay for 3 moves only as at Limit of Range and Low on Fuel.
3. Early warning. Appear halfway between Airfield and Enemy. (British only, Germans appear at table edge dice D6 as for Bombers)
4. Early warning. Appear halfway between Airfield and Enemy. (British only. Germans appear at table edge dice D6 as for Bombers)
5. Returning Sortie. Low on Ammo and Fuel. 1 pass only at Long Range.
6. Vectored in. Appear ahead of Enemy just outside Long Range.
7. Vectored in. Appear astern of Enemy just outside Long Range.
8. Vectored in. Appear anywhere within Short Range of Enemy.
9. Jumped by German Escort just after take-off who appear within Short Range. (British only)
10. Fail to take off as still being re-armed and re-fuelled.
11. Returning Sortie. Low on Ammo and Fuel. 1 pass only at Long Range.
12. Vectored in but not attained sufficient altitude. Appear within Long Range of nearest enemy but 2 Levels below. This may be 1 Level if Target is at Level 2. (British only)
Note: Any Double. (Except double 6) = Hun in the Sun. German Fighter Escort appears anywhere within close range of Enemy. Stay for 3 moves only as at Limit of Range and Low on Fuel.
British minor victory if only 1 Enemy Plane Bombs London = 10 Victory Points
British major victory if No Enemy Plane Bombs London = 15 Victory Points.
Delete 2 Victory Points for each Aircraft lost.
German minor Victory if any Bomber bombs London = 10 Victory Points
German major if more than 2 Planes Bomb London = 15 Victory Points
Delete 2 Victory Points for each Aircraft lost.
Add 5 Victory Points for any Bomber Leaving the Table having successfully bombed London.
Airfield Locations.
Hendon – 15 miles NW of London
Croydon – 12 miles S of London
Kenly – 15 miles S of London
Biggin Hill – 25 miles SE of London
Tangmere – 60 miles SW of London
British-Suggest no more than 2 Squadrons per Airfield with 2 x Spitfires & 2 x Hurricanes per squadron.
Can be 2 x Spitfire or 2 x Hurricane squadrons per airfield depending on models available.
German-Escorts can be Bf109 or Bf110 with Bombers being JU88, HE111 and JU87.
Number of Squadrons, both sides, to suit number of players with max. 2 models (1 Squadron) per player for both Fighters and Bombers.
This scenario tries to re-create the chaos and confusion which reigned in this period.

All,
I don't want to post this, but...
Circumstances this past winter have eliminated my discretionary funds. Unless I get a job that matches this quote:
"All I want is less to do, more time to do it, and higher pay for not getting it done."
Barring that, it isn't very likely I will be attending Doncaster this year.

Very sorry to hear that Mike.
It would have been great to meet you in person.
I hope you find that job!
If you do, and there is another one going, let me know.

Sorry to harp on about the Pin Badges.
These need to be odered by mid Aug at the very latest.
I already have a few names but to make them prohibetly expensive we need to have a minimum number , which we currently are not near.
The pin badges have the wings logo, winged badge as per the areodrome with a coloured scroll underneath, this year being Red.
Sp have a think if you want a badge or not, I shall post this week a list of those already down for one, if they could confirm and any new names just add to it.
Put me down for one Chris ;thumbsup: 2 if it helps the numbers.
