5th October Games

We had two games running side by side last night - Steves H and S, Paul and myself played Battletech while Rob, Andy P and Alan with various friends played Marvel Crisis Protocol. I wasn't able to follow the action on the latter game as I was busy trying not to be blown to pieces, while also trying to blow other people to pieces in the Battletech game. Paul's mech is likely to be in the body shop, while Steve H and I escaped relatively unscathed.

Next week, I've arranged to have a refresher game of the Battle of Britian game prior to running it at the SELWG show on the 16th, there are a couple of amendments I'd like to try to balance the game before we set it loose on the public again.

In other news, I learned today that the Rocheway Centre (SEEMS' original base and the site of Present Arms for many years) is no more. The Centre was dmeolished to make way for a new housing estate some time ago. While I accept the need for new housing and am glad this has been supplied, I will admit to a little sadness to know part of my past has literally been erased. Sic transit gloria mundi . . .

27th July Games

 A very active night yesterday; Steve S, Mark, Andy P and Dave K played Mars Attacks! (I believe the Martians lost).

Mike and Steve B took Lion Rampant to the Holy Land for a Crusader based game. Mike's Saracens went up against a force of Knights Templar and St. Lazarus (the latter formed from members of the Military Orders who had developed leprosy but were still capable of active service before the symptoms got too debilitating) both with supporting serjeants and promptly lost two games - standard really.

Steve H and I played Battletech as a three hander with each attempting to collect a data crystal. I came a poor third as my mech took so much damage it exploded, but Paul retried the crystal.

Rob was playing Warcry but I wasn't able to spend much time with this game.

Next week, I'll run another Angels 20 with the new mat; debating whether to continue the Eastern Front theme or try something over France.

Other options currently include Zombicide or The Walking Dead . . . do I sense a theme here?

8th June Games

Low numbers and last minute changes prevented running the Battlefleet Gothic game planned for yesterday evening, but Steve H saved the day by running a game of BattleTech (he having picked up the new version recently). This involved myself, Steve H & S, Paul and Dave K in a trial game with some light mechs, which still had some decent firepower. Great fun was had by all, and I look forward to trying this game again.

My thanks go to Alan who passed on a collection of Napoleonic British figures he had no further use for, some of which had been painted to his usual high standard. Alan was involved in a Necromunda game with Rob and others.

Next week, I hope to run a WW1 naval game using my Italian and Austro-Hungarian battle fleets. There is also a board game proposed which is part of an ongoing session.

See yer soon
