27th November Games

Greetings


Numbers were boosted last night with the welcome return of Matt and a visit by Andy H. Dave K ran the planned Mad Dogs game whilst Andy and I ran my planned Viking Age Lion Rampant game for the benefit of Matt and Rob (who had never played Lion Rampant previously)/ The game was notable for the two leader duels, neither of which was decisive, although Rob's warlord was eventually cut down in a glorious last stand before his Norse departed the table. Despite this Rob likes the system and wants to play again.
The Mad Dogs with Guns game was a test of a scenario that I gather went well.

Currently, Dave K has offered to run an Imperial Assault scenario for the Star Wars buffs. I haven't planned anything yet, so suggestions from those who couldn't make it last night would be welcome.


See yer soon

Low attendance again this week, but Steve S ran a Deadlands Wild West Horror game for himself and Dave K, whilst Mike and Steve B were kind enough to invite myself and Steve H to join in an ACW game using the Rebels and Patriots rules. The latter was sufficiently bloody to result in a draw.

Next week, Dave K has arranged a Mad Dogs with Guns gangster game, while I've offered to run a Dark Ages game using Lion Rampant for anyone interested.


See yer soon

A few more members in attendance last night; Mike and Steve B played the Wild West game Dead Man's Hand using Mike's very nice set up, whilst Andy P ran a play test of his sci-fi game for myself, Rob, Mark and Steve S. This proved entertaining and some useful input for the rules was made. Thanks to Steve B for the box files he has kindly provided me - they will be very useful.

We are likely to be low on numbers again next week, so I'll bring the Hobbit boardgame (which can accommodate up to 6 players) and Battle Cry. If anyone else has any ideas, please respond.


See yer soon

This will probably be the last email to the Yahoo group due to the changes proposed; in future I'll post directly to the facebook group SEEMS WARGAMES CLUB, so if you haven't joined the group yet, please do so and I'll approve the application (this won't affect the blog).




We were able to run three games last night - Dave K ran a Mad Dogs with Guns gangster game for Mark, Andy P and Steve S. Rob and Alan played Aeronautica Imperialis (nice models btw), whilst I introduced Paul to my WW1 naval rules together with the Austro-Hungarian and Italian fleets. The game was kept fairly small as a teaching scenario, but suffice to say the Austrian gunnery dice were poor and the Italians were able to more or less cripple one of the Austrian dreadnoughts. I'm, working up the fleet lists for the pre-dreadnought fleets of both sides but this might take a while.

Next week, Andy P wants to run a play test of his sci-fi game, so I'll bring some figures and also bring along a backup game.




See yer soon
