Fair turnout last night; Rob was playing Warcry with some friends in the bar area, Dave K, Mark and Steve S played Mad Dogs with Guns while Steve H and I gave the Pacific warbirds a runout in Angels 20. The Warcry game had its usual level of utter carnage, while the Made Dogs game generated some 'spirited discussion' of rules interpretation (if I have the facts right).
Steve and I ran three games during the evening - a Pearl Harbour based P40's vs Zero-sen was a walk over for the Japanese (not that this was a surprise), followed by F4-U Corsairs against the Zeros then Ki-61 Hien. The Corsairs were an eye opener and took out the Zeros in the second game so quickly that I literally didn't have time to take any pictures! The third game against the Ki-61's took a bit longer but the Corsairs showed why they were such a successful aircraft at the time.
We've decided to run some board games next week; Zombicide and Ludis Gladiatorius have been suggest. I've also submitted a proposal for a Battle of Britain game to be run at the Broadside show in the 4th June. This will use the Angels 20 rules (hence the play tests) and the 1/144 scale aircraft built by Graham for the game we ran some time in the 1990's - more on this as news comes in.
See yer soon
Neil
