Battle of Jutland - 31 May 1916 & again 2016

[stevem]

Tuesday 31 May 2016 is the 100 year anniversary of the Battle of Jutland between the British and German battle fleets.

I have (most of) the ships for this battle, so it seems a good excuse for us all to get together for a large naval game.

We will probably start early (17:00?), and then feed ships in as players arrive  

Rules will be Naval Thunder, which are pretty simple, drop me an email and I can send play sheets.

If you have nothing organised please join in - let me know if you can make it so I can sort numbers.

Anyone interested?

Hi Steve,

I'd be interested in this! I've had the Naval Thunder rules for a while, but not yet had an opportunity to play them.

I'm afraid that I won't be there until 7pm though.

Thanks, Ian.

7:00 is fine, we can feed in players/ships as they arrive.

Anyone else - don't be shy?

Go on then I'll give it a go, always happy to try something new. I'm on leave that week so can be there for the start.

If anyone wants to give the rules a try in advance of playing Jutland, I am taking some ships down tomorrow to play Greg, you are welcome to see how it plays and join in.

Looks like there will be a few of us playing.

We are starting at 3:00, and going on into the evening. The game will work with players joining in as the game goes on, however it would be very helpful if you could confirm you are coming, and at what time, so I have some idea of what to plan.

I have all the ships, and playsheets etc.

The rules use a lot of D10s, so if you have any bring some, but make a note of how many and what colour, as they are liable to get mixed up. Also if you have any 12" 'school' rulers bring them as they are useful, and tape measures.

Please let me know if/when you are coming - onley a few more ships to paint!

I'm in and as I'm not working this week I can be there from the off, gives me a chance to see how the game works before joining in a bit later.

Thanks to everyone who played - I think it went rather well.

That was 'The Run South' done, does anyone fancy another long afternoon to try and finish it?
