The Commander Series Forum

Hi everyone,

I recently posted on this forum looking for CWC players in the Reading/Berkshire area. One member of this forum (Ghengis Collins) was close and we recently played our first game (hosted at Wargames Association of Reading).

I have to say we noticed a lot of interest in CWC at Wargames Association Reading and assume there must be other players out there that are interested in playing CWC. We both came to the conclusion that if someone will champion CWC then other players may well appear out of the woodwork or become interested in playing CWC.

So, to that end, I would like to use this forum post as a place where players in the South of England can rally and look for local clubs/players. I am looking to create an ‘address book’ of players and clubs in the South of England that have an interest in CWC.

Why? Well to begin with, it will allow players who are interested in playing the game and willing to travel the opportunity to meet up and play a CWC game. Also, some of the larger clubs (such as Reading) sometimes hold open days on a weekend which could be used to host games over weekends when people are more free to travel if required. Finally, it could lead to some tournaments in the South of England – its early days yet but I am happy to run with this and see where it goes.

For the purposes of this exercise let’s say ‘the South’ is an area roughly from Bristol in the West to Windsor in the East and from the South coast up to roughly the M4, but anyone that is willing to travel to/within this area should feel free to put their names/locations down.

So if you are in ‘The South’ and you are interested in playing CWC then please put the following details in the thread below:

Name: (Either forum name or actual, as preference/security dictates).

Location: (Be as specific as you are comfortable with).

Club Affiliations: (If none, just state ‘none’).

Contact details: (As the forum currently has no means of private chat/email, sadly we can only use personal contact details, please keep this to an email address.

Armies/scales/era details: (eg, 1/300, 1985 British and Russian).

Regards,

We have a lot of Southern players who attend the Deeside event every year. If anyone is interested in attending the 2016 event please let me know. This years game is set in 1985 around Hanover and takes place in a couple of weeks. There are 20 players with over 300 sq ft of terrain. You would be more than welcome. Keep checking the CWC section of this forum for further details of the September 2016 event.

Cheers Richard. I'm hoping to come but will depend on the period.

Cold War 1985 we have played Central Front, Arctic and Southern Germany. You would be more than welcome next year.

And if you don't want to build your own force for that period I'm sure there are lots of spare commands available. Most regulars have several to choose from already.

Cheers, Andy

Yes as Andy says between us we can field quite a few divisions

I'm currently getting a 1/300 TO&E validated 7th armoured brigade for 1985 so hopefully I could use that. Will also have a Russian 1985 Guard Tank division (TO&E researched) in 1/300.

Just need to find a few more people in the South so I can get some regular games in :-S

That's great good luck in your search for players.
