The first FearNaught event of the year has now sold out. Any further interested parties will now be added to the reserves list.
Having a number of questions about list sizes and the honest answer at this stage would be that I haven’t yet decided.
To allow some flexibilty and truly fit in with the ‘thinking on the move’ nature of this event I think the best way forward is to build one main list of 1500 (without artillery or air) and then two secondary lists of 500 and a 1000 points. Noting that you would not be expected to field all three forces together but ideally be able to field the 100o and 500 point forces at the same time if need be.
I’ll get my head around the starting point for the campaign in the next few days and then everything will become clear.
You’ll be glad to know that after a conversation with Toby (McLeod) that I have decided on a window of a few days, now just to pinpoint the exact point.
A few more days should see me having all the names in place so that I can really get down to that exciting task of picking a starting point for the weekend.
Previous events, excluding Market Garden saw the weekend kicking off not from the historical ‘beginning’ but at a point that saw all invloved deeply mired in the fighting. At Anzio, allied forces already had a beachhead and were pouring in troops and reinforcements and the front line was already a few miles
A great response to this event so far with 24+ of the 30 (or so) places being grabbed in a couple of days.
Look out for updates here and on TWF for more information on the exact location of the fighting.
Great news, the first event (of four) for 2012 will be held at Triple Helix Wargames on March the 3rd and 4th .
The event will be set in North Afrika (in case you hadn’t read the title) and based on the fighting in May and June 1942 near Gazala, the exact locations to be confirmed.
Based upon input at the last event (and others) you’ll hopefully be pleased to know that far more weight at this event will be placed on historically accurate army lists, to that end I will be enlisting some help to ensure this happens.
Also, artillery and aircraft cards will be making a comeback. Other information is that the price of the event will remain the same although there may be some ‘food’ option available.
Finally, places will be first offered to FearNaught regulars before being offered to the mases. As per usual I’ll be placing extreme faith in you and asking you to email me to keep you a place at this stage (please do not send any payment yet)
I’ve managed to secure a place for 32 players at the event and the event is now full.
Unfortunately, Toby (McLeods) regular playing partner is unable to attend due to being in Canada so I’m offering the place to the first person in the reserves list. More soon.
The only folk I’ve not heard from recently to confirm they’re still coming along are Sam and Pete.. please let me know as soon as you can.
There seems have been a bit of a rush this week and we are now up to 30 players and also 2 people on the reserve list.
I have been in touch with Charlotte at Triple Helix to see what we can do about accomodating 8 doubles tables and will get back to you as soon as I have more information.
I’ve added a few more names to the list of attendees and we’re as close to an even split as possible, which is excellent news.
A few of you need to let me know what type of list you’re bringing other than that it’s all looking very good indeed with a very promising and balanced mixture of forces.
I’ll get a mailshot with food options and places to stay out very soon.
