Well it seems Mike has performed the near impossible and managed to arrange time off for next year (or most of the game at least) despite it being an important milestone birthday for Mrs M. We have discussed possible options to add to next years game and I hope to outline those, with a very rough campaign map sometime over the next three weeks.

What does it cost and where are these held

The megagames holidays are week long events, the cost for 2014 will be £400.

The price of the holiday covers accommodation and meals from the Saturday to the following Saturday morning inclusive, meals being breakfast lunch, and a three course evening meal. If you wish to arrive a day earlier of stay an extra couple of days there is a daily surcharge which is currently £40.

The dates for the game are as follows

Arrive Saturday 19th Jan 2013

Play commences on Sunday 20th through to Friday 25th.

Depart hotel Saturday 26th Jan

On the wargames front figures, terrain dice and a copy of rules system are included in the price. All you have to bring is your beer money ;)

The megagame events are held at the Membly Hall Hotel in Falmouth (United Kingdom) http://www.memblyhallhotel.co.uk/

Combat Command Rules system

We use our own rules system which is D10 based. This evolved from the Spearhead system which we used for the first two games, but it soon became apparent that Spearhead worked well for up to a Division a side, but these games saw Corps and Army sized formations on one table (and in some games 12 tables were in play), so we begin to write a system that could cope with these numbers, allowed for some reconnaissance of the battle field and with the integration of higher level air and naval assets as scenario’s dictated. It’s not a finished product yet, but each year it has been rigorously tested. New ideas often arise out of each megagame, this year was no exception. The discussion for this is currently taking place on the domgaming site. To join that, email me at domf2002@yahoo.com
