Mike, the guy who's running the game and responsible for the rules tells me that it's a supply for the whole game, not the cost for a single grenade.

Ok, my ragtag gang of pirates are completed!
Fingers crossed my old banger can be repaired at the garage tomorrow and all my plans are not scuppered…

very nice.
my jokaero gang for far corfe.
and my preparations:
lustrian cut-thorats based up in case anyone fancies a bit of wfb2 skirmishing (vs. an Amazon war party).
a travel mat for a swampy river delta. my sci-trees will be going on this too. the islands need further work but that won't be happening today.
a second rowing boat to pole through the swamp.

You wanted to borrow the Dino APC and the small shuttlecraft, right?
Couldn't find the shuttle, so I'm bringing you a small helicopter instead, okay?

What a fun event! Thanks for organising it @Mat Lindsay! Great to see everyone!
The Far Corfe table was a hilariously chaotic free for all with hijacked tankers of Henderson relish buzzing over the town and alien bugs appearing across the table.
Stand out moments for me was when I was foolishly goaded into firing at Curtis in the penultimate round and got my ornithopter promptly blown out of the sky… One of my Juves managed a series of lucky roles and took out a huge Minotaur (but which didn’t offer me any points!!). I didn’t have much luck taking out @twisted moon ’s Jokaero and failed to keep a track of my score, but heh ho!
There were a bunch of other tables with games of Man o War, 2nd edition 40k, Mordheim, WFB, War Machine, Epic, Blood Bowl and Battleship Gothic. Some great deals on the stalls, boxes of giveaways and a goodie bag of treats.

as @Brother Meredith implied i too spent the entire day playing 'welcome to far corfe'. i can confirm neither he nor ramshackle curtis managed to kill off my jokaero gang and much to my surprise they survived until the end of the game and even managed to accrue a fair tally of req's.
my wfb2 scenario didn't run in the end, as as i was setting it up i discovered i'd forgotten to pack the stat's for the amazons. maybe next time (or perhaps at bring out your lead, if i make it). at least that gives me a chance to finish off the islands.
here's my haul from the day (the bag is empty, the top row of bagged miniatures and the sweets came in it).
i just read the magpie and old lead blog today and discovered axion was there. it's a shame i didn't bump into him.
@Padre, did you make it in the end?

There was a bunch of other folks there that I didn’t pick up on either. As fun as it Far Corfe was to play, it would have been nice to have time for another game!

Sorry not to have posted on here sooner, it's been a bit chaotic in the aftermath of the event.
Thanks to everyone that came along, you were all great and we had a good time meeting all of you.
Lead & Steel 2025 exceeded all of my expectations going into it, and we're already putting the plans in place for 2026.
So I hope that all the people who said they wanted to come back keep their word, and I also hope to see the folks there that couldn't make it this year too.

Thanks again @Mat Lindsay! Sorry couldn’t stay longer in the pub afterwards. Hope to see you at BOYL later in the year if not sooner.
BTW I read that M John Harrison story when I got home, am tempted to make a visit to the Merrie England cafe to try the portal!
