Organisers: Stone Paper Scissors, East Midlands Megagames & South West Megagames
Designer: Jim Wallman
This game will be extra special because it will take place over three different locations around the UK and on-line all on the same day. The entire project will involve over 120 participants, divided among the three locations. The physical locations will be Central London (run by Stone Paper Scissors), Nottingham (run by East Midlands Megagames) and Bristol (run by Southwest Megagames). The form of the game is a huge operational map game, with player teams of 4 commanding divisions and corps. No previous experience of this sort of game is necessary, neither is a deep knowledge of the historical events the game is based on.
