Not a problem with the wordpress site this time, but an issue with the database the forums use.

We are getting an “IPS Driver error” message on the SQL database.

I have raised it with our hosts who are investigating it.

Please be patient and check back here for updates.

Thanks.

There is a problem with the forum at the moment where for some reason it appears to be redirecting to another directory on the site that doesn’t contain the forum and therefore doesn’t work.

Our web hosts are looking into the issue and I will update this page once it has been resolved.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

This is the fourth and final  gaming sessions designed to bring us together with a selection of games that we have played, past and present  over the past ten years.

Each Saturday for the past four weeks, we have been gathering for a bit of fun in the selected games.
So to finish off the celebrations, here is the fourth couple of games:

Saturday 24th November:

20:00 BATTLEFIELD 3  – on our own server or paradrop into a public one depending upon numbers
21:30 Planetside 2 – On the Woodman server as New Conglomerate

This is the third of four gaming sessions designed to bring us together with a selection of games that we have played, past and present over the past ten years.

Players of the Battlefield series may have noticed that DICE is having a week-long celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Battlefield games, which of course started in 2002 with the release in September of Battlefield 1942.

Their celebration includes cut-price games from Origin, the re-release of classic Battlefield trailers and wallpapers and other such stuff from earlier games. Oh yes and lots of cake in their offices.

From our perspective of course, the 1st Hussars will also be celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, having been formed while playing Battlefield 1942. This means one or more special get-together events with games ranging from the old Battlefield games to the new Battlefield games and various other games we have enjoyed over the years.

More details will be available once we work out what the hell we are doing.
