Post by viking123 »

The Devizes & District Wargames Group's website states that their much-loved show will be back hopefully over the weekend of 16th-17th July 2022.

David,

I have updated the dates but these may still be changed depending on circumstances.

I had originally drafted this two years ago and missed the dates.

I hope the theme will be of interest as it allows players to dig out the Polish winged Hussars which rarely get on the table.

Thanks for the amendment of the 2 deadline dates! I am looking forward to potentially getting my Poles out for this - with it being an 820 point event, there is a better chance of a balanced force once you've paid for the compulsory Hussars (@ c.20 points a base) that makes them a bit expensive in a 650 point army!

As of today DDWG's website still says that they are hoping to run the show, and so the date remains a proposed date for Attack in 2022.

We hope to be back in 2022 over the weeend of July 16/17 subject to confirmation. http://www.ddwg.org.uk/

Despite things generally getting better, there are still a lot of challenges around committing to run shows right now - if Salute! has decided to miss a year, that shows how tough it is out there - so best to bear with the DDWG guys a little longer I feel

The DDWG has decided that any competition that does not have booked players for half the table allocation by 1st June will not run and table space will be reallocated to the other rule sets. We have 8 tables (16 places) so if you want a FOG R competition you need to book early or it is lost.

We have 8 players so that should be alright.

If ReG does not run we may get another player. There is on player I want to chase who indicated they may come but have not yet entered.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the update; in which case I will stick with my original Army choice.

Is the list submission deadline date still 4th July? And to who should the list be sent?

Many thanks

Following discussions at the Oxford one day ECW competition I have modified the special rules relating to mounted.
Paragraphs 5 and 6 have been deleted which restricted Superior and Elite mounted to 50% of the total number of mounted BG's. This would create problems for Polish forces.

Following the battles over the last weekend the forces trying to relief Vienna have been soundly defeated. Vienna has fallen and the Ottoman's will continue their expansion towards Prague and Bavaria.
