29th January Games

Greetings


Still a bit low on numbers this week - Steve S and Dave K played A Song Of Ice And Fire again (and the Starks lost again). I ran the planned Men Who Would Be Kings game, using my Zulu Wars collection prior to the game at Cavalier in February. The Zulus chose to go in full bore this time, and nearly smashed the British on first contact. As it was one British unit was swept away and the other half reduced to half strength. The timely intervention of HM 17th Lancers on the British right flank reduced the Zulus to below half strength and won the game; so tea and medals all round!

Next week, Dave K has offered to run Star Wars Imperial Assault, whilst I've been asked to run a Battlefleet Gothic game.


See yer soon

Very low attendance last night. Steve S and Dave K played S Song of Ice and Fire, whilst Steve H and I played a Napoleonic naval game based on the action off Santo Domingo in 1806. Suffice to say the Starks took another pounding, and I managed to save two ships and a possible third from the pursing British - the scenario would work well with the large ships Warlord are now selling, but they'll have to wait as I have plenty awaiting the brush at present.

I'll run a colonial game using The Men Who Would Be Kings ahead of the Cavalier show on 23/02/20 which we'll be attending with a similar game. More details at http://www/twws.org.uk/

22rnd May Games

Greetings

Dave K reprised his Song of Fire and Ice battle game for Mark, Andy P and Steve S last night; this time it was a victory for the Starks (the North remembers!).

I set up my Bronze Age Greeks for a game using a Lion Rampant variant. Matt showed up after a lengthy absence from club nights, and since it was his first game with the rules and the period I graciously allowed him to win by losing my leader (Achilles) to archery - this hasn't happened before? - and dismally failing a number of morale tests, losing half my army in the process.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it . . .

We appear to be a bit thin on the ground next week, so I'll bring the Wings of War/Glory WW1 aircraft. The following Wednesday a game of Mad Dogs with Guns has been agreed.

A reminder that Steve H and I will be running The Men Who Would Be Kings at the Broadside show in Sittingbourne, Kent Sunday 9/6/19. ANyone seeking to attend please speak to me.

See yer soon

15th May Games

A largely fantasy theme to this week's games; Dave K ran A Song of Fire and Ice (Game of Thrones mass combat game) for Mark and Steve S, while Rob and Andy played a game of Dark Souls.

Next week, I've offered to bring along my Bronze Age Greeks for a game using a Lion Rampant variant for the period. Dave K has offered to run the Song of Fire and Ice game again, having hopefully gotten to grips with the rules.

See yer soon
