Debrief for 10 December 2008 and NEWS: NO CLUB UNTIL 7 JANUARY 2009

Do not adjust your TV sets - this is another installment of Night of the Living Dead which is rapidly gaining a cult following in the Club.

Practical issues were encountered when it was realised that two of the participants don't actually drive - so how are you going to get away in the Humvee once you've found the keys???

It is assumed that Plan B would be to walk faster than the Zombies...

The sensible historical gamers sought refuge in 1809. The nightmare scenario on a battlefield - all the protagonists (Austrians v Westphalians and Friends) have decided to wear white and speak German.

How can you tell who the enemy is? Dummy, it's the guy shooting at you!

PARISH NOTICES:

1. As alluded to in James's previous (good to see Napoleonic up there again!), the Beach Pub has the Function Room booked out next week. The following two Wednesdays are Christmas Eve and New Years Eve (and I don't think we would get away with it!). Therefore, the next Club Night will be on Wednesday 7 January 2009. Games will be:

Epic: Brad and waifs and strays.

Warhammer Quest: James, Robin, Tom, Bookmark, Rob and Tony.

Babylon 5: Mick and Trainset.

Something Hysterical: Brett and myself.

2. A reminder that the Plymouth Show is fast approaching (Saturday 31 Janaury 2009) and the Club will be putting on two games; The Boxer Rebellion and Night of the Living Dead II (tbc). Well done everyone who has managed to paint their Boxer figures. Those who are still besieged in Tiensien with Admiral Seymour, Mick and James will need your completed figures for them to base on 7 January latest, please.

3. Currently attending the Plymouth Show will be:

Brett, myself, Mick, Bookmark, James, Chris (tbc), Trainset, Trainset's Wallet (confirmed). Brett and I will provide the wheels - pick ups to be arranged. There are two free tickets per game. If we can take both the Boxer and Zombie Games that will be.....four tickets. Tickets will be divided between Mick, the two drivers and one other (or Mick and Brett if we just do the Boxer game. I will still drive and will have room for passengers).

4. Robin would like the army lists for the 40K Tournament submitted on 7 January.

5. The Isandlwana Zulu War Game on 21 January currently has Rob, Mick, Bookmark, Trainset, Brett, Tony, Chris and myself sharpening their bayonets and iklwas - if anyone else wishes to don a pith helmet or monkey tails, please let Rob know.

6. And finally, thanks to you all for another great year of wargaming and a special thanks to The Beach for allowing us to use the Function Room to wage war. Have a good break and remember; Wargame Responsibly.
