"Battlegroup Barbarossa Campaign Weekend 2015" Topic

For those in the UK and Europe who may be interested…

News from PSC HQ:-

Here's another chance to play the innovative and exciting Battlegroup rules system with its author Warwick Kinrade in an impressive themed campaign weekend.

Refight in 20mm (1/72nd) the the road to Lokhvitsa in the epic encirclement of Kiev during the Barbarossa campaign on the eastern front in 1941. 15 German players will clash with 15 Russian players over the weekend of 31st October/1st November, striving for campaign points to take their team to ultimate victory and the individual honour of most campaign points for their team.

The event will be held at the superb facilities of the Midlands Wargames Centre at Stafford Games in Stafford – easily accessable to all. Tickets available from Plastic Soldier Company priced £12.00 GBP (including buffet lunch on saturday). Go to the Plastic Soldier Company webstore, link and purchase your German or Russian ticket in the Battlegroup Kursk section. There are only 15 places each side so don't delay – first come first served! Each player brings 2 x 450 point battlegroups (they can be the same) – one for each day. German players can field Roumanian, Hungarian or Slovak battlegroups. All models must be painted and no substitutes! 2 games will be played on saturday and one on sunday. Starts 9.30 am saturday and ends approximately 1.30 pm sunday. An informal get together will be arranged saturday night in a local pub.

If you have never played Battlegroup Kursk, anyone is welcome to drop by and take a look and chat to Warwick. Will Townshend from Plastic Soldier Company will also be there – he is quite happy to have his ear bent about what you would like to see in plastic in the future!

Jealous!

Piers,
Is there anyway to organize something like this here in the states ?
I have a few individuals that are interested in helping out
Please let me know if this is possible
Thanks

£12.00 GBP a head represents fantastic value for the punter, really good.
A nice loss-leader for all concerned.

Steve,

I'd love to see something like this organised for our US gamers, perhaps as a standalone event or at a con.

Of course, the wide expanse on the USA compared to the UK does make it more difficult though not impossible.

If you join The Guild, where our forum is hosted and drop me a PM, we have a few groups based in the US playing that may be interested in getting involved.
