9th December Games

Greetings

      Rather thin on the ground last night - possibly due to an accident on the A127, though, Laurie has also advised the sad news that Jon's father passed away after a short illness. I am sure you will all join me in expressing our deepest sympathy for Jon and his family at this trying time.

     Josh ran a play test of the Force on Force rules, set in Afganistan, for those present. Given the lack of familiarity with the rules and having the likes of Laurie, Steve and Alan being the play testers, I think he did really well for his first attempt.

     Next week; Steve has suggested we run In Her Majesty's Name, so anyone who has sutable figures for the game should come prepared.

     I have consulted the centre's management who have confirmed that the centre will be open on 23/12/15, closed on 30/12/15 and avaliable for our use again on 6/01/16.

See yer soon

2rnd December Games

Greetings

Messrs, Knightly and Slater ran the planned 7TV play test last night. Given this was the first time for umpires and players alike, the game had a few hiccups during the play, but nothing that can't be ironed out in the future.

Next week, Josh has offered to run a Force on Force game, while I run a Napoleonic naval game.

See yer soon

25th November Games

Greetings

A decent turnout this week.

John and Steve S ran a Rapid Fire game which looked very nice.

Mark ran a small Lord Of The Rings game, which sadly I didn't get photos of, but it was nice to see Bob and his lady friend this week as he can't always make it to Hockley these days.

Mike, Steve H, Josh and I settled to a Wars Of The Roses vintage Lion's Rampant game. Josh had the misfortune to have his leader killed in a challenge, again, which led to the collapse of his forces and my right flank. Josh tells me he is selling the figures, which might be why they won't fight for him . . .

Next week a play test for the 7TV game has been arranged. This will accomadate 6-7 players, so I'll bring Memoir 44 to cover any gaps.

See yer soon
