1st March Games

We had three games ongoing in various parts of the Wayland site this Wednesday evening; Dave K, Steve S, Eddie, Mark, Alex and Matt were playing Hordes of the Things with a Victorian slant (British police and a naval brigade vs a vampire led force). Alan and Rob took to the skies with an Aeronautica Imperialis game (Alan's models are a particular delight), while Steve H and I played Memoir 44 using the Pacific war module for the scenario representing the landings by the Japanese on the Wake Island. In our game, Uncle Sam's Misguided Children (US Marine Corps garrison in more formal terms, for who I of course have the greatest admiration) managed to inflict severe losses on the invaders and overturn the historic result.



Next week, Dave K and Steve S are running a Mad Dogs with Guns gangster game, while I intend to run the Russian front Angels 20 game previously planned.

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

19th February Games

Greetings


Slightly down on numbers this week, but we ran two board games. Dave K ran a Star Wars Imperial Assault mission for Mark, Andy P and Rob whilst Steve H and I played the Pegasus Bridge scenario from Memoir 44. The Rebels fulfilled their mission, while I was able to score a win for the Germans in Memoir 44 due to a slightly better hand of mission cards, which helped me to operate across the board.





A reminder that the club will be attending Cavalier at the Angel Centre in Tonbridge this coming Sunday. Planned roadworks on the A21 mean a detour en route is required, but full details can be found at www.twws.org.uk. Hope to see some of you then.


See yer soon

2nd July Games

A fair turnout this week; Chris and Alan fought a SAGA game, Mike and I explored Memoir 44 for the first time in a long while, while Steve H ran a board games called (I think...) Dungeon for the remainder present.

Thus far, next week has Mark's SWAT game lined up, while Steve S will bring a selection of other games for good measure; my presence due to work commitments is uncertain, but the following week I will run a Napoleonic naval game for those interested.

See yer soon,
Neil.
