6th November Games

Greetings




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

20th July Games

Greetings

A few more in attendance last night.

Thanks to Andy P for running his Dogs of War game. The defending American forces won, but it seemed that every figure had been wounded or killed on both sides!

Next week Dave K has offered to run his Pulp Alley/Sweeney game. I'll sort out a backup game for anyone else.

See yer soon

19th August Games

Greetings

    Thanks to Andy for running his Dogs of War game last night. it seemed like a really enjoyable game.

     I ran Mission 2 from Space Hulk (appropriately entitled 'Suicide Mission'), which the marines were unable to complete on this occasion.

     Next week there is a Warhammer 40,000 scheduled (no other details at present). Steve Slater wants to play test the Osprey steam punk rules 'In Her Majesty's Name' and will provide the bulk of figures. If anyone has suitable figures in hand perhaps they could be provided?
     There is a link to the game designer's website which has a play sheet and all other useful bits.

1st October Games

Thanks to Andy for running a spirited (?) Dogs of War game yesterday. I think everybody involved enjoyed themselves. . . .
I ran An introductory Angels 20 game for Paul, Lance, Dave K and John. This went down to the wire between Paul and John, but the clock beat us in the end.

I understand that a Lord of the Rings game has been arranged for next wednesday.

I will pop in to finalise details for the club game at SELWG on the 12th October, but I won't be able to run a game then. I will await final details of table etc, from the organisers, but I have been able to confirm that we are on the clubs attending list on their website;

See yer son,

12th May Games & Broadside 2013

Well, that one is done for another year! Thanks to John/Chris for the loan of the display stand (table layout features in accompanying photo) and to the two Steves, Laurie and John for helping with the three games we were able to run. Quite a bit of passing interest (including Henry Hyde of Miniature Wargames). On site trade was OK if not quite what I had hoped for but most people came away with a decent haul.

Thanks to Steve and Andy for the Flames of war and Dogs of War games they organised for Wednesday nights session; pictures are attached.

Steve tells me that Mark has proposed a SWAT game, while Steve will bring some board games. I will look at something similar (Memoir 44 or Battle Cry seem like good ideas), but any other offers would be welcomed.

See yer soon,
Neil

20th June Games

Bit quiet yesterday, but thanks to Steve Slater for stepping up and running a War at Sea game since Dave Kightly couldn't make it. Likewise my thanks to Andy for his Dogs of War game.

Next week's offerings to date are a Malifaux game, together with the Angels 20 scenario I had planned for this week. Any other offers are appreciated. I might try to see if we can get three tables provided on a regular basis while we have multiple games on offer, but will have to speak to the centre staff about this.

See yer soon,
Neil
