Sounds good! (Although I've already made a list )

Thanks for setting up this thread, Underdweller.

I'm keen to play a couple of "real" games on Saturday, so I guess that means 50SS? I see 40SS being mentioned further down the thread, but am I wrong in thinking 50SS is the "standard" size? (I'm at work right now, so don't have a rulebook handy, and I don't trust my memory.) I'm not super fussed, so whatever folks think will work better is ok for me. Grantholomeu and Underdweller - are we likely to be playing all 3 of us at once? Or do you guys have any other individual plans for the day that might result in 1v1 games happening? I'm pretty much committed to Mali for the whole day*, unless I lack for opponents, in which case I'll see if any other games need a player.

*well, until maybe 6ish or so. I gotta get home at some point, and it's a bit of a schlep to Mie.

I think Grantholomeu and I were leaning towards a game of double rush Saturday morning with all 3 of us ( the alternate option in the first post of this thread: Grantholomeu wants to try something different in the afternoon.)

(Double Rush (2 players vs 1, with the lone player playing two teams), each team being 10SS.)

I could then play another game with you in the afternoon, whatever size you would like.

If you would prefer, you and Grantholomeu could play a one on one game in the morning, and I could play something else if its available.

However, playing 2 50SS (or even 40SS) games between 9:30 and 6 seems extremely optimistic, since we tend to barely finish one on regular 9 to 4 Sundays, with no lunch break.

If you would rather do the one on one games, I can keep my minis around for an afternoon game with you if you manage to finish more quickly, somehow!

Apologies for throwing a wrench in the plans, but I am probably not going to be able to make it
I've been sick since Saturday, and while I tested negative for covid, it is mainly a cough, congestion, and difficulty talking.
Maaannnnn, the last vacation I was healthy for was LAST Golden Week

Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon.

I guess we'll just play it by ear then. Sounds like 2-3 players on Friday, and 2 on Saturday (unless Grantholomeu feels up to coming by then).

We can do a couple of games of 2 on 1 Double Rush if there are 3 players, or a standard game if there are two players.
