11th March Games

Greetings


A decent turnout last night with two good games. Andy P ran his sci-fi skirmish game for the bulk of those present, while I set up a Napoleonic Rebels and Patriots game for Steves H & B, Mike and myself. The Scenario required the British to retain control of the hill and town, whilst the French had the option of taking control of either objective. Sadly time beat us in the end, but the game was most enjoyable and looked great.


 
 


Next week, Steve S has offered to run a sci-fi version of TUSK game. I've finally received my new WW1 aerial mat from tinywargames.co.uk and very nice it is to! I'll run a Wings of Glory game for interested parties - flying helmet and goggles essential, stick of wet celery optional.


See yer soon

4th March Games

Greetings


Reasonable turnout; two games took place. Dave K ran Star Wars Imperial Assault for Steve S, Mark, Rob and Andy P, while Steve H and I played another Memoir 44 scenario. This time we played Beda Fomm 1940, using the Western Desert boards and additional rules. The Italian forces had to force their way through the British blocking force, and due to poor early dice rolls on my part and the Command card 'issues' they nearly made it. Fortunately for the Brits, the employment of the 'Their Finest Hour' card and much improved dice rolls meant I just squeaked a win. That's a two for two with this game - maybe I should play it more often?





Next week, Andy P has offered to run his Sci-Fi game, and I'm trying to arrange a Rebels and Patriots Napoleonic game with Mike. the game we played at my place a while back worked so well I've been cleaning up my old collection of Peninsular War French, and painting up some new bits pending a complete revision when time permits.


See yer soon
