25th July Games

Greetings

Still low on numbers due to hot weather/holidays etc. Thanks to Mark for running his Retro Raygun sci fi game. Steve H and I played Rise of Tribes, a new game he had brought along - basically a colonisation game without some of the pitfalls of the Catan series of games. It would be better with three or more players but proved an interesting diversion.

Next week, Andy P wants to run his Asian (Samurai) battle game, I'll bring Battle Cry as a backup but if anyone else is likely to be along, please feel free to offer other games.

See yer soon

14th February Games

Greetings

The scheduled games were replaced by Mark's Retro Raygun sci-fi game and a colonial game run by Chris and Andy H using The Men Who Would Be Kings rules. The more I watch the latter set of rules in action, the more I like them and find myself considering other periods in which they could be used; the American Civil War comes to mind. . .

Next week, Steve H will run the promised Zombicide game, and Steve S and I will bring some backup. A reminder that we are attending the Cavalier show in Tonbridge on 25/02/18, where I'll run the Big Tanks game - and questions, please feel free to contact me direct.

See yer soon

20th July Games

Greetings

Thanks to Mark for running his Retro-Raygun sci-fi game this week; I didn't have a lot of time to check it on the game as I was occupied elsewhere. Steve H, Alan and I sat in on a demo game for the new version of Wild West Exodus, which is due for release in a couple of months. WWE has interesting game mechanics - I've succumbed to the lure of the Confederate Rebellion faction (which will come as no surprise to those who know me) and bought some figures.

Next week Mark has offered to run his fantasy barbarian game, while I'll put on a Dark Ages Lion Rampant game. This will be open to any of the denizens of Wayland Games present on the evening as I have spoken to a few people about the game.

See yer soon

31st August Games

Greetings

Slightly higher attendance last night (due in part to the return of Alan Fitzroy after a prolonged absence); thanks to Mark for his Retro Raygun game which provided entertainment for most of those present. Steve H and I played Battlecry and I lost (no change there then).

Next week, Steve S wants to play AWI, using the horse and musket Flinch Point rules, dating back to the early 1970's as a tribute to Laurie (and yes, I HAVE played these rules!), but currently, no full set can be found. Dave K will provide figures and if necessary has agreed to run his Pulp Alley game if the AWI game cannot go ahead. I will bring Space Hulk or something similar.

See yer soon,

Neil

22rnd June Games

Greetings

A fair turnout last night; thanks to Mark for running his Retro Raygun sci-fi game for the bulk of those present. Steve H and I were engaged in a run out of the new Airfix WW2 battle game. I have to say that this can be very bloody, but a couple of games gave me the impression that the game will be worth persevering with. Due to the level of concentration involved, no pictures this week. Sorry . . .

Next week, games proposed thus far include Black Plague and I will bring the Hobbit board game and the airfix game as backup. Steve S has offered to bring some games as well.

See yer soon

9th March Games

Greetings

My thanks to Mark for running a trial game for his Retro Raygun project yesterday evening. As the game implies, the game reflects sci-fi as it was viewed back in the 1930's, see Flash Gordon and E.E. Doc Smith for inspiration.

'Gordon's alive . . . ..' :-D

Next week's planned games include Warzone and Star Wars X-Wing.

See yer soon
