We were rather split up this week; Mike, Steve B and Gary were playing a card game, and Eamon and Finn were playing Battle Cry in the bar area. Andy P ran his play test for a new sci-fi game (which I gather went well and only requires some minor tweaks to the rules at this stage) whilst Steve H and I were trialling his recently received Triplanes and Tripods game at the opposite end of the main hall.
This last game has been developed from the popular Wings of Glory WW1 and WW2 aerial game to permit the war planes of the period to combat various Martian fighting machines. The base game comes with WW1 aircraft so I took a rocket armed Nieuport 16 (used for observation balloon busting in WW1) against one of the 'smaller' tripods. We got in two games = in the first I was 'crispy crittered' by the heat ray, and took significant damage whilst trying to bring the rockets to bear in the second game. Great fun and I look forward to playing this again.
See yer soon

FAO David Crook and the "A Wargaming Odyssey" blog. Reference your last post of 13-Sep. Are you aware of the Prayer Book Rebellion solo mini-campaign that was in Miniature Wargames Issue #13 entitled "Landsknechts in Devon...?". It looks good fun and has always tempted me and I'd like to see how it plays out. Sorry I couldn't comment on the blog itself but I don't have a Google Account.
