Havoc on the Hamble! Myths and Legends III
                                     
Hi everyone, we are delighted to be able to announce that we are now taking entrants for our third Havoc on the Hamble! Event which will take place at Sarisbury Green Wargames Club on 16th May. As there is limited space again, we would like to give you this opportunity to 'sign-up' for this year's event!!

Please don't be shy in coming forward: to avoid being on the reserves list or missing out completely!  Here's a quick summary of the event:

The 'Myths and Legends' theme will be continued. As such, all entrants must include a Legendary army commander, who must be named and must have reasonable justification for their Legendary status, in their list. The majority of 'names' will be known, however, players opting for an unusual Legendary army commander will be required to provide justification for that individual. The date of the army must correspond with the adult life-span of the Legendary character.

Army lists must be approved by Saturday May 2nd and may be submitted any time until Friday 1st May, but once approved, may not be changed or altered. Late submissions and late approvals will be penalised. All list to be sent to i.newell1953@gmail.com

The entrance fee will be held at last year's rate of £17:00 per person. We will again offer three games during the day (arrive 08:30 for a start at 09:00). There will be refreshments and it's still free parking too!
As places are limited, we would encourage you to send your entrance fee through quickly and secure your place. Payments can be made via PayPal (Friends and Family please) using my email address: ian.carbutt@btinternet.com or to my personal bank account. Details upon request.

If you are interested in coming and becoming a 'Legend', or have any questions about the competition, please drop me a line ian.carbutt@btinternet.com soon. For more info about our theme, of 'Myths and Legends' and how to build your army list, contact Ian Newell via i.newell1953@gmail.com.

Most of all, we are looking forward to seeing you there and another great event!

May the dice be with you!

'Havoc on the Hamble': Myths and Legends 11th May

Hi everyone, our first event is nearly upon us and I just wanted to share some photos of the prizes we have for our 'Havoc' event here at Sarisbury Green Wargames Club (Fareham/Hampshire) on 11th May.

Appropriately, they are representative of some possible contenders for our Myths and Legends theme! In no particular order, we have Achilles himself, Cyrus the Great and Porus from the Murayan dynasty.  A strong line up 😊😊😊 We hope you like them!!

Thanks to the 15 players who are coming!!! 👍👍👍👍

Remember, our doors are still open for entrants to 20th April and our event has just one remaining place. So, if you want to learn, or fancy your chances and you can bring a Mythical or Legendary general with you: to head up your MeG Maximus 15mm army; just drop me a line: ian.carbutt@btinternet.com

Unfortunately, the files for photos of our prizes  are too large for here......However, you can find them on the MeG Facebook page.....Enjoy!!!

Sarisbury Green Wargames Club Event: May 2024

Havoc on the Hamble! Myths and Legends
                                         Update Jan 2024
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to provide some additional information on the format of the day.

This will be a Maximus 10K point event with three games to be played

Gamers should aim to arrive for 08:30 and games will start at 09:00. Each game will last for 3 hours (with a short break between each) as follows:

Game 1: 09:00 - 12:00
Game 2: 12:30 - 15:30
Game 3: 16:00 - 19:00

Awards and prizes should mean we are done by 19:30.

For those travelling, who require accommodation, I have some links to lists of cheap hotels and places to stay in and around Fareham. Contact me via the email below if you want details.

Remember parking is available on site for free.

Finally, for now, costs are £15:00 per person. Payable by 11th April 2024. Early Birds, payment received before 11th March 2024, pay £12:50.

Meanwhile, I'll see some of you at Beachhead, but, if you have any questions drop me a line: ian.carbutt@btinternet.com
