MULTI-LOCATION MEGA-WARGAME

in collaboration with east midlands megagames and soutwest megagames, SPS is running a multi-location mega-wargame based on the famous Second World War airborne operation that took place in September 1944. The game will take place on

Saturday 15 March 2025.

9.30am - 4.30pm GMT

This game will be extra special because it will take place over three different locations around the UK and on-line all on the same day.

The entire project will involve over 120 participants, divided among the three locations. The physical locations will be Central London (run by Stone Paper Scissors), Nottingham (run by East Midlands Megagames) and Bristol (run by Southwest Megagames). The form of the game is a huge operational map game, with player teams of 4 commanding divisions and corps. No previous experience of this sort of game is necessary, neither is a deep knowledge of the historical events the game is based on.
