23rd November Games

Greetings

Better turnout this week - thanks to Mark for running his postponed Victorian Gothic Horror ame.

I ran a Star Wars X-Wing game for Josh and Steve S, allowing them to fly the TIE advanced and X-Wing fighters, while I lurked menacingly in my shiny new Imperial corvette; only kill of the evening fell to me courtesy of an errant X-Wing which strayed into range.

Next week; Andy P will run his Samurai game and Chris has agreed to run a Hordes of the Things game. I shan't be down as the car is dry docked for repairs; but Dave K and I have agreed to run the Tanks game again the following week.

See yer soon

16th November Games

Greetings

As promised, we tried out the Tanks Skirmish game with the larger scale of Corgi tanks (which were released to coincide with the D-Day 60th anniversary and are now very scarce) both to try the game before the 'official' vehicles are ready, and also to see if the game would work with the larger models as a possible show game. Three Shermans versus two Panthers could only end in tears for the Allies, as proved to be the case.

However, we had so much fun with the game, that this will be offered to the organisers of the Cavalier show in February as a participation game using the larger models - some preparation work will be required but much of what we need is ready to go. My thanks to Steve H, Josh and Dave K for help with the playtesting, and Steve S for providing a board game to entertain those in attendance.

Next week, Mark will run his Gothic Horror game, postponed from this week, and I have been asked by Josh to run an X-Wing game. I have a yen to try out a scenario using my Raider class corvette. . . .

See yer soon

9th November Games

Greetings

Due to Dave K's unfortunate absence from illness (get well soon mate!), it was necessary to rethink the games for last night at short notice. I ran The Hobbit board game for Josh and Steve H, while Steve S and the rest played Man O' War.

Next week, Mark has offered to run his Gothic Horror game, and I'll bring The Hobbit and the new Airfix WW2 game as back up.

See yer soon

My thanks to Dave Knightly for running his Pulp Alley game last night.

Steve H and I play tested the Portable Naval Game variant I have been working on - this appears to work OK and will appear again in due course.

Next week Dave has agreed to run a Pulp Alley game but with a different scenario, while I can bring Battlecry and the new Airfix WW2 game by way of variety.

See yer soon
