Conference of Wargamers 2011 session list - additions

A number of additional sessions are to be included in the programme:

Jim Wallman
OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY
This is a sort of role playing game about being a colonel of a mid 18th Century infantry regiment.  Posessing little or no military knowledge or aptitude need not be a barrier to advancement.  The game is as much about peacetime influence as going to war, though there wil be opportunities for glory in some fever-infested Carribbean hell holes for those interested in that sort of thing.

Jonathan Crowe
VILLIERS BOCAGE
A rapid play 1/300 scale game pitting the first Tiger tanks to be deployed in Normandy against some very surprised Yeomanry.  One brain cell rules, impossible die rolls and no time to think.  Are you drinking tea or pushing forward for the Fatherland?

Graham Evans
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Come and have your (Roman toy soldier's) head stomped on by a big plastic elephant.

Tim Gow
ROLLBAHN OST
A 70th anniversary game of Operation Barbarossa.  All of it.  In 20 minutes.  A three player toy soldier game which will probably be run several times.
The second playtest of Rollbahn Ost, with John, Gunter and Martin leading Army Groups South, North and Centre respectively.  Hopefully I'll have time to produce a more aesthetically pleasing board before COW.

Big Jim Wallman fan, damned shame I won't get to play "Over the Hills."

Thats what comes of being 'over the water' I suppose! I'll pass your comments on to Jim - I expect to see him next week.
