15th January Games

Sufficient members were present last night to run Mark's SWAT game, which required six operatives to make a covert entry to a facility to search and destroy sundry biological weapons. These were guarded by various goons (and at least one Doctor Evil lookalike) together with a number of armoured troopers who were particularly obnoxious. Suffice to say that truth, Justice and the A******n Way prevailed and a gratifying number of explosions resulted in the 'elimination' of the items in question. Great fun as always.


Dave K has offered to run a Western Gunfight using his 'Fearless' rules next week; Dave, let me know if you need an appropriately dusty cloth for the game?

See yer soon,

8th January Games

   Apologies for the delay this week - real life got in the way. We had a decent turnout for the first meeting of 2025; a former member  of the club, Nick Huband has rejoined after many years' absence; good to have you back Nick! I ran a Wings of Glory WW1 aerial game for Nick, Nigel, Steve H and myself while Andy P ran a card cum board game called Mystic Vale for the rest of those present. Didn't get to see much of the game, but I gather that Dave K eventually won.

   My game saw two French marked Morane Saulnier N monoplanes (flown by Nigel and myself) go up against Steve H and Nick (playing the game for the first time) flying two Fokker Eindekkers. Nick didn't last too long as both Nigel and I took pot shots at him, my Morane caught fire and further damage took me out. There were numerous close passes when inventive invective alternated with barrages of stale baguettes and out of date bratwursts. We called it a draw in the end, but as always the game was great fun.

Next week, Mark will run his entertaining SWAT game, so remember the camo cream.

See yer soon,
