Hi,
Title says it all really, what's the deal?
I used to go to wargames events in the dim and distant past before the kids came along and I had money in my wallet not just photographs, The kids are older now so I can escape for a bit and I would quite like to get back into a scene.
I know BOYL is at Foundry on the last weekend in July, after that in gets a bit hazy.
Do you need a ticket?
What time do the sessions start and what time do they finish?
Do you just turn up with the toys and wing it?
Do you post here for opponents and arrange your own games or is anything "officially" organized?
Are there tournaments and competitions?
Do you need to bring genuine rule books etc or are they available?
What about catering? is food laid on or do you bring your own?
What happens when the venue closes? Back to the digs for running repairs and plan the next days action or retire to the nearest hostelry for refreshments and after action punditry?
The Foundry venue is a bit remote, is there transport laid on to and from the digs?
What about the accommodation? sort it for your self or is somewhere block booked?
What about non gaming spouses or partners are they encouraged to attend and is there anything for them to do as the Foundry venue is a bit remote
I guess that some of you BOYL vets will find some of these questions obvious and answers are possibly available somewhere on this site, but I haven't found them so I would appreciate some answers as there's nothing on the Foundry website yet and I would need to make plans. A pdf pack like you used to get for events back in the day would be useful and if one is not already available someone could consider producing one.
Thanks
