As ever, we were split into distinct groups over the Waylands site last night; Steve S, Mark, Paul, Andy P and Dave K were playing The Walking Dead in the bar area, along with Alan and Rob who were involved in a Necromunda game (I'm tempted to do an Imperial Guard team for this), I ran a WW1 naval game using my Italian and Austro-Hungarian fleets for Steve H and Mike.
The scenario involved the Italians in pursuit of an Austrian squadron which had been engaged in bombardment duties, which were then to be covered by a squadron of Austrian dreadnought battleships. Bear in mind that until 1918 the Austro-Hungarian empire held land at the top of the Adriatic where its navy was based. The bombardment squadron duly escaped and the two battle squadrons were engaged; the Italians lost two battleships in short order to the combined fire of the Austrian battle squadron and a magazine explosion and duly retired. The rules used were a set I found online and translated from Italian a few years back and not having used them for some time I pleased that they worked well.
Next week, Mike is running a 15mm Napoleonic game using Rebels and Patriots, which I am tempted to take part in, and I believer The Walking Dead group are playing Mad Dogs with Guns and the Necromunda group will continue their deliberations.
See yer soon
Neil
