TOPIC: Gallipoli - JoS 2022 |
Standard User Posts: 207 monk2002uk 1st May 2022 08:51:13 Thank goodness Joy of Six 2022 will be back in the Sheffield venue. We will be putting on a demonstration game for the Battles of Sari Bair and Suvla Bay. These battles were part of the Gallipoli campaign in 1915.

On August 6/7, a daring plan was set in motion to outflank the Ottoman defences. The demo will feature the equivalent of 3 6'x4' tables. Here is the layout plan, with the lowest contour marked out in green: Here is a photo of two of the tables: You know the saying: "Go big or go home". Robert |
