Turnip on the Docks is back! And this time, it’s on a Saturday.
ABOUT TURNIP28:
Turnip28 is a post-apocalyptic vegetable wargame. Players command Regiments of fantastic miniatures made up of incompetent Snobs, bedraggled Followers and bizarre war machines. You will weep, you will cheer, as deranged peasants kick each other to death in the mud.
Turnip on the Docks returns to bring all the chaos of Turnip28 to the East coast. Join the march, fix bayonets, and be ready.
LOCATION:
The Great Escape, Grimsby Docks
1 Auckland Rd, Grimsby DN31 3RP
PARKING/ACCESS:
There are plenty of parking bays across the street from The Great Escape. Please try not to park in the car park next door to the building, as this belongs to Alfred Enderby Smokehouse. Caution should be taken when crossing the road, as the area is within a working dock.
RULES FORMAT:
We’re playing with the most up to date Turnip28 Rules as of 1st August 2024. If this changes we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
NUMBER OF GAMES:
5 – Mixed scenarios.
A player pack with scenario-specific details will be sent out closer to the event.
SIZE OF GAMES:
1 Toff and 2 Toadies as per Core Rulebook. Cults from the rulebook and Mercenary cults list are allowed (and encouraged!), however any untested or fan-made cults are not permitted (including Tragedy of Rust).
This is a friendly event and we strongly encourage people to bring wacky and enjoyable lists.
WHAT TO BRING:
– An assembled army. We aren’t asking for show armies. If it’s assembled, based and looks kind of turnipy, we’ll accept it. Paint is a bonus!
– Dice, Tape measures and your army rules.
ACCOMMODATION:
There are a number of options available if you need to stay overnight. We have two Premier Inns nearby (in Grimsby and Cleethorpes), a Holiday Inn express, several hotels depending on your budget, and a large number of B&Bs in Cleethorpes. Check out our webpage for more information.
FOOD:
The Great Escape will have lunch available on the day, as well as hot/cold drinks and snacks, all for a small price, and accept cash and card.
McDonalds, KFC and Subway are all a short drive away, however for a personal recommendation, check out Mockingbird which is a 5-minute drive away. They offer both chicken and mock versions of their full menu, and are to-die-for. Directions for all can be found on our webpage.
HOW THE DAY WILL RUN:
Doors open at 10:00 for player registration, with the aim to start at 10:45. We’ll break for lunch around 13:00, and announce results at 18:00.
REFUNDS:
We will do our best to help if your circumstances change and you can’t attend. No refund can be processed after 1st August 2024.
