Apocalypse

(aimed at frank) do you think that we could hire out the hall for a little long and have a big Apocalypse battle, haven't used my super heavies for a wile (after we have had all our role plays)

id say id agree with you but tbh all participants would need to be there as early as we could possibly be to set up the table, boards and scenery required as im pretty sure were not allowed to stay longer than 11 1130 maximum :S

but then again i could be wrong

Larger games can be REALLY fun, as long as you pick a designated commander for both/all sides who in turn will communicate for the teams at large and a Games Master, someone who can give adjudication and also make sure all teams are aware of what is going on, granted this approach may be slower, but will provide all players with a much more enjoyable game overall... I'm sure we have all been involved in large games at GW and noticed how utterly de-humanising it can get, I know I have!

along that note, I don't have any problems either being the Games Master, or a player. (Ideally the GM wont be playing...)

was there any particular scenario in mind or just a large scale battle?

Don't know, just thought it would be fun to have a big mash up.

I'll have to speak to the hall but in principle should be fine to start earlier...

The problem might be people not finishing work till after 5pm and then needing tea before the club etc...so you need to confirm numbers and times ...

Perhaps all those interested could add their names to this post, saying which tuesday is best for them and how early they can make it to the hall...

I'll go first...6pm earliest, any EXCEPT when Deathwatch is on, recommend avoiding 25/10 as we're in the small hall that week, only have a fledgeling orc army and will need help preparing a army list...

can you not run events at the weekend?

If we pay for the hall (Std Fee £40 a day) and it isn't already booked, yes...

Well If you are going to run an apoc game the best thing to do is run it at a weekend when the most people can make it and more important get more of the day playing it. Like you said in the week lot of people will be at work.
If you get enough people interested in an apoc game or series of apoc games run on the day you could divide the cost between every one and should not be so much =D
