3rd April Games

Still a bit thin on the ground on club nights at present, although I gather some of you are a bit snotty at present, and quite understand the urge to stay on the warm! To those sickly mortals, a kind thought and a wish for you to return to good health soon.

The Sumerian game ran out of time due to distant deployments and poor pip dice rolling on both sides. Having said that, Steve and I had already lost some key troops so I would have to say I was ahead on losses in any case. The better of the pictures I took is attached for the delectation of those who were not present. Thanks to Steve Slater for running the Warhammer naval game for those not involved in the Sumerian game.

Next week, I will return to the skies with a 1940 based Angels 20 game - a chance for the Armee de l'Air to strut its stuff beckons. Bob and co. are planning a Warhammer 40K game, and Mr. Slater has agreed to bring a selection of board games as back up.

See yer soon,
Neil

Game Report September

Somehow I lost the summerised post for last month so here is an update from Neil.

Thanks to Dave Kightly for running a FUBAR WW2 game this week;

the jury is still out on these rules it seems. There are lots of good points in the set, but they do not seem to work for a pick-up game, but rather require very carefully organised scenarios. Pity, because they play well in other respects.

My play test for the new Warhammer Historical rules went OK; bit shaky at first due to lack of familiarity with the process, but two interesting games were played, hopefully the first of many. Thanks (I think) to Dave

Crook for the various quotes from gladiator movies - at least up to the point when the double entendres became more dangerous than the swords, from whence it descended into Round the Coliseum.

'Oooooooh, matron' indeed! 

This coming week we have a Lord of the Rings game scheduled, while our very own Prince of Dorkness (pun intended) Steve Slater will provide Fury of Dracula as an alternative. Haven't decided whether to bring Memoir 44, Battlecry or Wings of War myself at this time, but I shall provide something.
