Warmaster One Dayer. Warhammer World 17 Nov 2012.

I've linked this thread to friends and 1 (stumpycat) has already expressed interest.... and i am pretty sure at least 1 of the others will be a yes. 2 work weekends though and might find this a bit of a problem
Still... I will talk to thwe others and hopefully have a good idea of who is up for carnage in the new year. May I suggest 10-15,000 a side rather than 30,000? More likely to finish the game and (for us at least) more likely that each player can field the designated points. I would also suggest that teams are drawn randomly on the day to make it more friendly rivalry than the 'us against them' that competetive games between strangers often turn into

Chorley to Liverpool is no different time or distance wise than Chorley to Stockport so it doesn't make much difference to the chorley group! It makes sense to go where the most players are based. Unless we're selling tickets and people are committing well in advance, it may be difficult to book somewhere that is going to charge. Are we thinking 1 day or 2 day event? I could try and set something up in Chorley?

Yes, I was thinking 5K per player is enough to control in a day's battling and still get a chance of reaching a conclusion. We can field the following painted 5 K forces now: two 5K High Elf armies, two 5K Orc and Goblin armies and two 5K Chaos Armies, one Araby 5K army, one 5K Empire army, one 5K Brettonian army (nearly). We have all the other armies covered too but not all fully painted or quite as big in size.

I would like to go for a themed battle e.g. we 'oversize' a game like the siege of Praag from one of the warmaster mags. Yes, I agree we want 'split' teams.

I suggest we all go back to our respective grouops and get preferences and rough numbers.

I'm not really fussed where we meet. Stockport is very local to me but only to me so doesn't cater for the majority of players and therefore doesn't make that much sense.

My preferences are for one day events (as a parent of two young children it's easier to get the time!) but if people are up for a two-dayer it would be cool and might attract people from overseas/further afield.

In terms of format, I really enjoyed our big game (I'm not sure I'd have had any more fun playing with a larger army, commanding 2500 points was fine for me). It would be good if something could be engineered to encourage a little more mingling in terms of the armies (table shape perhaps)? Our game was just small enough to allow for engagement across the whole table (or chatting at least). One more player per side and I'd have had no idea what was happening with at least one army.

I suggest that someone from either the Liverpool or Chorley posse takes this on as organiser and kicks off a new thread.

I'd also (were I doing it again), cast a wider net than this forum, there are players on The Warhammer Forum and on Warseer who expressed an interest.
