GRIMSBY - Update 1

Cold War Commanders,
Now Joy of Six is done for another year it's time to turn our attention to Grimsby 2017 as it is just over 8 weeks away!
I want to use the CWC forum as the main communication hub, the only problem with that is no new members can join since Pendraken took over. So to get round this I will also post messages on this Facebook page and also on the Cold War Commanders blog. If I can ask people to make sure everyone who is not on the forum joins the Facebook group. I think this is mainly the Grimsby chaps but if you can think of anyone else please let me know. Still a few spaces if anyone knows of anybody who wants to come along. I imagine we will have a few 'drop ins' from the Grimsby Club over the course of the weekend which will increase numbers.
I still have not had anyone come forward to take the overall CO role for the Warsaw Pact. Andy C is taking the role for NATO. Happy for two players to get together if they want to. If you could let me know asap that would be great. Just need someone as a point of contact for the umpires over the weekend to pass on info etc.
UMPIRES

I could do with finalising the WARSAW PACT list so we know who is playing what. Steve G could you check out what the Grimsby Chaps are playing? If I have missed anyone who is planning on being there please let me know.
The House Rules are being compiled into one file so that it can be issued to everyone well in advance of the game.
As in previous years there is no points limit so to speak. Players are free to produce what they want as long as they conform to the correct order of battle information and are based on units that realistically would have been deployed to the region. Obviously turning up with 20,000 points of T-80's won't be allowed. For those of you not sure on what forces to work on I will be posting a rough list of forces that were allocated to the LANDJUT area later today. We are open to suggestions as in the past we have allowed certain forces as long as the player can come up with a feasible back story as to why they are there.
IMPORTANT - THE UMPIRES MUST HAVE COMPLETED ORDER OF BATTLES (I.E. THE FORCES YOU PLAN TO BRING) NO LATER THAN SUNDAY 20TH AUGUST. THIS ALLOWS THE UMPIRES TO CHECK AND ALLOCATE FORCES TO TABLES AS PER THE SCENARIO.
Any questions please ask. Most importantly is to make sure you keep checking the forum/Facebook/blog for updates.
Cheers
Richard P
