Forge Games: WM/H at UK Wargame Shows

[Phillip]

Forge Games is a UK based retailer that attends UK wargaming shows with the entire range of PP minis and games. At each show FG will run demo games of WARMACHINE & HORDES and, where possible, will sponsor and run tournaments.

The next show that Forge Games will attend is Albanich in Dumfries on Sat 23 Jan 10. I will have a demo table available.

After that, you will be able to see Forge Games at the following shows:

Sat 30 Jan 10: Crusade in Penarth. Demo games.

Sun 7 Feb 10: Vapnartak in York. Demo games and tournament.
Sun 28 Feb 10: Cavalier in Tunbridge Wells.

Sun 7 Mar 10: Overlord in Abingdon. Demo games.
Sun 21 Mar 10: WMMS in Wolverhampton. Demo games.
Sun 28 Mar 10: Warrior Bazaar in Chorley. Demo games and tournament.

Nice to see another UK retailer get going. Good luck with it!

Any idea what you'll be running at Overlord this year? I'm currently trying to get a WM/H scene going in Oxford (& surroundings), and would be keen to help out/prod people in the right direction.

[Phillip]

Have been attending the shows as a WM/H trader since 2008 - this year hope to be at about 20.

At Overlord I will be running participation games of WM/H using the battlegroup/warpack box sets.

[waylander]

Look forward to seeing you at Overlord.

Hysteresis - where are you playing? I'm up in Bicester.

[PG_Hysteresis]

Sorry for straying off topic folks, but waylander's PMs are disabled.

There's a small but rapidly growing group playing at the Oxford Gaming Club, just off the A34 west of Oxford. We play on Monday nights from around 7pm. The club is quite GW oriented, but bit-by-bit I'm changing that. Next Monday we should have a handful of new (to the club) players turning up, so it would be a great time to visit if you can make it.

[Phillip]

OK - Albanich all done. A good show to start off the year!

Next show:

Crusade in Penarth on Saturday 30th January 2010 between 10:00 hrs and 16:00 hrs. The show is at Penarth Leisure Centre, Andrews Road CF64 2NS. There is free parking:

Privateer Press Ganger and reigning UK Nationals Champion Martyn will be running demo games of WM MKII - pop along and see if you can beat him!

[Phillip]

Crusade was a blast but far too many roadworks on the way home

Next weekend - two shows in two days:

Sat 6 Feb 10: Call to Arms in Theale, near Reading.
Sun 7 Feb 10: Vapnartak in York. Demo games and tournament.

[Phillip]

Vapnartak - superb venue for a show!

Next show:

It is near Sainsburys and there is plenty of free car parking.

[Phillip]

At Cavalier this weekend I will have individual MKII cards available for free whilst stocks last. So, if you are only in need of a few cards help yourself!

Any chance you'll be at the new Norwich show on August 1st?

[Phillip]

There is a 100% chance I will be at the new Norwich show, Eastern Front, on 1 Aug 10. I also hope to be running demo games of WM/H at the show too.

At the show Privateer Press Ganger 'Doc' will be running intro games of WM. In addition there will be a number of battlegroup box sets for anyone to try out a new faction/caster.

Next three shows:

It is at Park Hall Hotel near Chorley - it is a short drive from from the M6 (J27 Northbound, J28 Southbound) or the M61 (J8) - just follow the signs for Camelot!

The tournament I am sponsoring is sold out but there will be demo games using starter box sets.
