No tears chaps! I'm probably off next Sunday, rarely to haunt the Ochil community centre again.
I haven't final confirmation yet, but it keeps looming closer. The long awaited removal to Germany looks like happening in a hurry. They told me last Friday they would probably want me to start next Monday, but couldn't confirm it. Same story this week, although apparently some Colonel is now kicking some civilian pen-pushing butt to speed things up. I expect they'll confirm tomorrow and get the contract through late or Friday.
If so, tomorrow is it. I've a game either with Neil or Donald (Donald seems to have games with about 10 people at this stage!), then a few pints after.
Of course it may all fall through and I could be back next week, but I doubt it.
It's satisfying to see how the club has grown since I joined - and almost completely thanks to Paul I might add. To think he started the club because he needed a wargaming opponent! Initially I was lucky to get a game of warhammer, let alone a competitive one, now I get my butt handed to me by every newb that comes along! Better venue, great tables and scenery, warhammer and 40K happening everywhere. The only thing that hasn't changed is the pints at the Settle. It is one thing I'll miss in Germany, despite the quality of the weizenbier.
Best regards to anyone I don't catch up with tomorrow. I will be in touch a bit and try to get back for next year's fantasy tournament - I have to improve on 14th or whatever it was!
At least I'll have my dice to comfort me. Every time I roll a lion nostalgic visions of the Raploch will flood back ...
