September 23rd - THE BOURBON BATTLE!!
On September 23rd there will be a Talisman marathon. A marathon??? Yes, a marathon.
And why is this event called the bourbon battlel I hear you ask?? Well Fort Spevna is in possession of a large quantity of bourbon (about 3.5 litres to be precise) and as much as possible is to be quaffed during the marathon. Mixers shall be provided also.
Here is the schedule for the day.
10.30 - Talisman marathon commences.
11.30 - First bourbon is poured (Standard pub opening hours in the UK)
12.30 - Break for lunch.
1.30 - Play resumes.
7.30ish - Down the izakaya for some beer and chicken.
Midnightish - Stagger home drunk and avoid getting hit by cars.
Entry requirement - Snacks both sweet and savoury
1. The Spevna
2. Big Daddy Grim
3. Me In Japan
4. Konrad
5. Ashmie
6. YellowStreak
As per usual, last man there gets the stool to sit on!

After missing the last one, I would have loved to have a crack at this..
But can't again, because have just arranged to go to Tokyo with the missus.
What is it with Disney Sea anyway? You would think it was the Hanging Gardens of bloody Babylon..

Japan, a nation where Disneyland is a romantic getaway. It's just surreal.Lovejoy wrote:After missing the last one, I would have loved to have a crack at this..

But hey, whatever gets them in the mood. @Lovejoy- I hope it's cheaper than Hawaii.
@The Spevna- Dust off my glass and make sure you have plenty of ice.
And we need to get a Ork vs Squat 40K game on one of these days. I can field about 500-maaaaaybe as much as 750 in Squats. The only post-RT mini would be my Basilisk. How about your Boyz? I have another half dozen or so RT Orks myself to pitch in.
...and now his Head was full of nothing but Inchantments, Quarrels, Battles, Challenges, Wounds, Complaints, Amours, and abundance of Stuff and Impossibilities.....

Yes, we need to sort out that game. We can set a date when we meet up. Let's stop talking about it and actually set a date.

Re: September 23rd - THE BOURBON BATTLE!!
Yes please mate. I'd like to attend if you don't mind. I will have a few bourbons with you but not too crazy as I'm watching the health lately. I can game until about 4 or 5 as I need to get back for Liam's bathtime. Hope that's ok. 
Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.
