Each year, we stage a mega game at a local Train & Hobby Show. This year it was ECW. Our devised battle (The Battle of Auchentoshan) was set in the Lowlands & saw a Royalist English army confront the Covenanters. Later, on dice rolls, Montrose's army & a Parliamentary army entered as allies to the aforementioned.
The two day Show game is over. After Day One we used our Nightfall concept, not only withdrawing but also doing some re-positioning, rallying & re-organising. It gave the game impetus for the following day &, I think, was a useful mechanism for our game.
