Hi guys (studs), no, not likely 8-),
We have been accepted to hold a LEGO Wargamming Stand at Leviathon Quakers Hill
NSW on 23rd April. Setup can be done on Friday till 5pm, however I will still
be on the Gold Coast till Fri night.
If anyone wants to set up Friday you can use my bricks to build a landscape
(you'll need a trailer!) or we can set up as the weekend starts on Saturday
morning. Neil and I will be there and it would be great to have the rest, or as
many as pos, NSW members there.
Demonstration games using Starwars, Warhammer and an historical theme (French
Richie) would be good. There will also be room for static displays of your best
models and maybe we could run a clinic teaching about creating with our
favourite medium.
Let me know who's in. Robb.
P.S. I'm preparing a WW1 army for Britian, Germany, France, Italy and Australia
for the next brickwars. When and where would you like to hold it?
