At Carronade this weekend, Leuchars Wargamers will be running a WW2 Japanese air attack on a US aircraft carrier, as a PP game (1/300 scale).
So, apologies in advance to our neighbours, due to "Anchors Away", Japanese Temple Music, the occasional gong, and frequent "Banzais" which may emanate from our table.
However, you are all very welcome to come along and sign up for the Imperial Japanese Navy, and fly for The Emperor (for approx 20-30 minutes, not including the dedication ceremony before each game). |

Saki 'on the house' so to speak, please, pretty please… Dammit! just remembered I'm driving :( |

I'm intrigued by this, but it's far too far away to attend. Are you using your own rules or commercial ones? Any chance of some further information about your game? Thanks. |

deephorse <assuming you are Yorkshire based> Not sure you can say that it's too far away as a good twenty or so of Carronade host club were at the York show earlier this year. There were also plenty of other lads, from up North, on the day. A few even came by train!! |

Each to their own Jim. Personally I'm just not prepared to travel that far, especially when there's a show just an hour's drive away from me the following weekend. Those Carronade guys are obviously more enthusiatic/desperate/unhinged than I am! |

"Deep Horse", the rules (as such) are one page, and are home grown.
Thanks to "Dave Knight" and the Falkirk Crew for a brilliant Carronade once again.
We had a grand day, played 7 games, entertained 42 pilots, killed off approx 1/3rd of their crews, and sunk the carrier twice.
Oh yes, we won the PP trophy also, which was a very nice way to return after our year on the demo circuit.
Come and fly with the Imperial Japanese Navy at Claymore in August.
By the way, I regret that "Midpoint" felt he had to show my over-ample rear view in one of his photos, whilst also remarking on the size of the umpire screen!
It might explain why one of you TMPers (name unknown) assumed that my TMP moniker was "Fatman", and not "General Jumbo". |

Can anybody help?
I have photos (cropped to sensible size) of most of the pilots (in fancy dress at their dedication ceremonies), but I cannot get them onto this site like others seem to be able to do.
I am absolutely useless with Photobucket, Flikr etc and I do not do BookFace.
Anyone? |

Jumbo, The pics need to be available somewhere online. You can't add them to a posting direct from your harddrive. If you have a blog you can bring them across from there as I did in my recent Carronade posting. Sorry if I embarrassed you with the pic from the back – I was trying to show the use of the screen. Let me know if you'd like it removed. |

No offence taken, I was just having a laugh at myself.
Years too late for embarrassment to kick in!
Thanks for the tip about the pictures, but I don't blog either, so I need some other form of help.
Can I e-mail them to you for instance? |
| Midpoint | 11 May 2013 3:47 p.m. PST |
You could. Possibly best to pick someone you know though who already has an appropriate online account.
I suspect you're not a fan of the techno-babble, but Blogger (as per the Wappinshaw blog) is easy to use. Just like a word processor really. I'm off to bed now, but feel free to PM for any further help. M. |
