We ran three games last night; Mike and Steve B were playing Bolt Action (where the Germans successfully held the hedgerows from the Canadian attack), while Andy P ran the Labyrinth board game for most of the rest of those present. Steve H, Dave K, Paul and I ran a further test game of the Men Who Would Be Kings ahead of it's appearance at the Cavalier show on the 23rd. This time, my Beja tribesmen took on the Suakin Field Force. Although heavily outnumbered and losing their supporting cavalry when they were caught at the halt by the Beja warband, the British were able to literally destroy most of the foe with concentrated rifle fire (and some well nigh amazing dice rolls on my part) and pull off a win. Admittedly the Beja were forced to make a head on attack by the available space on table, but a chance for those less familiar with the rules to get a game in was worthwhile.
I've agreed to bring Memoir 44 next week and await details of any other games arranged.
See yer soon
Neil
