Mongoose at Colours

[The Greek]

The Mongoose Infantry (well, Reborn and I) will be running games throughout this weekend, the 9th & 10th of September. at the Colours show in Newbury.

At the moment we have one table confirmed where we will be running Starship Troopers participation games. If the organisers are able to arrange it we will also have a second table up and running where we will run Babylon 5 - A Call To Arms on Saturday and Judge Dredd - Gangs of Mega-City One on Sunday. I will confirm these events as soon as I am able.

The Colours Show is the biggest show in the South of England, being staged at the Newbury Race Course, in the grandstand. It is an excellent facility with lots of space with some sixty traders attending selling all sorts of goodies (including SST and ACTA). It is chock full of participation and demo games and has an excellent Bring and Buy stall (which I always end up spending too much money on, sigh....). There are plenty of Participation games to get involved with and numerous demonstration games to have a good look at.

Sweet - I may well be there on the Saturday, though we'll see if I can blag a lift.

Bring your own models for a game? :wink:

Wow! Talk about flashbacks, I was stationed at RAF Greenham Common in the 80's. I spent alot of time in Newbury. Lotsa good mammaries, ....er, memories there.

It is a participation game that is running, most of those playing will be newbies. Tends to be loud and fun.

The aim is simply for people to enjoy themselves, it is just one table and all the models are provided. Normally fit in three or four players per side, looking to run three games a day, possibly squeeze in a fourth.

Sorry I can't join in. I would have run Gangs quite happily with you. Or SST.

I was asked by the club I attend if I would run a game we have run at various shows for a couple of years now. With updated rules, it should be great. It is part of a project we are planning. Come down and find out some more about it.
Just look for the Abingdon wargames club stand, with 'Demolition Zone'.


I will be wandering and visiting the MI stand too though, just to say hi and hows it going.
