Work in Progress: Warmaster International Playtestweekend

[Lex]

I would love to come but I won't be able to justify to the wife why my hobby needs me to leave the country with the travelling costs that entails!

The viable alternative is to propose a nice weekend in a historical town with shopping and dining opportunities....  8-)  and depending on hotels, we have a VERY nice one that also has a Spa...

THat way you "only" need to explain why she gets the creditcard for shopping while you meet "Da Boyz"

[Getlord]

In such circumstances I would probably come. With wife :-)

[Lex]

This is the hotel that we actually used to host previous EuroGT's. After remodeling their downstairs conference rooms into the Spa they dont have the space to host a "big" event, but I can find room elsewhere in Bergen as a venue and this would definitively be one of the options for people to stay...

Date around 10th-12th Mai would be my favourite as the 10th is an in-between day and it's easy for me to get that one free.

[Lex]

That then would be the weekend after Ascension Day ?

I will coordinate that with Da Boss, if that works out we will start working towards it !!

Since there is no official announcement until now I have to say that I cannot participate even if the date of 10-12th of may would stand. Sorry.

Greetings,
Gerald

Oh  srry Gerald (and others)

Real Life got seriously in the way of pick up almost everything other then reading and modding this forum.... (yikes, that means even PLAYING games!!     )

The plan still stands to host a small scale event, but as things stand now I will need to port the initiative over the summer months. Think later half of October.............

[Alexander]

I am interested to go to this event. Somewhere in October would be ok for me

If we already are talking october, why not take a travel to sweden and The Swedish WM-Mastership in early november instead. 1-3  I believe it is. It´s during a decently big gaming event (BSK - BorÃ¥s Spelkonvent = BorÃ¥s Gamingevent) so there is alot of other gaming going on here in BorÃ¥s that weekend. Usually 300-500 gamers.

With a lot of work interference in the first half of this year, the Warmaster Playtest weekend got "postponed". Luckily I got a new incentive as Ed (BlackEd on the forum, mastercaster of the ingenious Chaos thingies and doodads) informed me that he WILL be ver in the first weekend of November. So wheels have been set in motion to have some social and or more competitive gaming on in the weekend of 1,2 & 3 november 2013, in the fair city of Bergen op Zoom.

Feedback of those willing to commit to joining us that weekend will be much appreciated as our numbers will dictate the size of venue and other logistics.

Heads up:  this weekend coincides with the Gaming weekend in Sweden as mentioned earlier and on saterday nov 2d TSoA hosts Crisis in the nearby belgium city of Antwerp.

And I reset and reopend the poll for the new date !!

[BlackEd]

I'll be there Lex!  I can bring my Samurai army (Nippon army).

[Lex]

Marked it in the Poll ??

[BlackEd]

Yes I did!   

[Lex]

OK gang, grab your agendas and pen in the 1st weekend of november for some serious gaming/fun !!

I am negotiating with a nice venue in the centre of Bergen op Zoom, hotel rooms will be limited and room sharing may be mandatory, but it is one of the best eats in town, nicely located and HAUNTED at boot !!

(and even if this would fall through I have a second option ready)

We aim at getting together anything between 10 and 30 players together, the Bergen op Zoom location is a good and easy trip (for those that did not make it before) and centrally located near Belgium (and even accessible for some of the French, we are just of the TGV tracject..!)

The event will primarily be a social gaming event, and as such is open for day-players as well (as long as you let me know in advance you are coming, so that I can set enough tables!), their will be a get-together-dinner on saturday (and fun-gaming afterwards).

All alternative armies are welcome, as are playtest suggestions for the games on saterday. On sunday we will be playtesting a "terrain/Scenery" adaptation........
