2nd April Games

Pretty good turnout last night. Chris ran a Bolt Action game for those seeking an introduction to the rules; thanks to him for this. Andy and Rob settled down to some Malifaux mayhem, while Steve Harbron took to the skies over Malta with an RAF vs. Regia Aeronautica Angels 20 game. Suffice to say the RAF came off second best - I blame the dice....

Next week, I am running a Ludis Gladiatorius games to start the process of scaling up the game to 54 mm as a show game. We also have a Lord of the Rings game scheduled.

See yer soon,
Neil.

26th Feb Games

Thanks to Dave Kightly for running his zombie game this Wednesday. Not sure how the survivors got on, but the game went to the wire for a decision. Picture of the game attached - plenty of zombies about but where are the live guys?

I was able to run a small Napoleonic naval game for the benefit of Ed and Mike, who are both new to my rules ( and in Mike's case, considering when and how to start work on a Dutch squadron as further opposition to my fleets). Plenty of manoeuvre and sufficient gunfire to inflict damage on both sides, but I think Ed and the British were ahead on points at close of play. This game was a joy to umpire, and gave me no small pleasure to see the rules and the ships in action. Picture attached at the height of the action.

Next week, we have a Lord of the Rings game lined up (Bob says he has some new figures to bring into play - don't know what though). I have offered to run a Space Hulk game using the most recent rules for some deep space mayhem. Cleanse and burn, brothers....

See yer soon,
Neil.

Cavalier 2014

A most enjoyable (if tiring) day at Cavalier yesterday. I have attached a general picture of the game in its early stages; no prizes this time regrettably but many appreciative comments.

19th Feb Games

Not a bad turnout this week; a distinct scifi theme with a 40K game for the benefit of two visitors (hi Ian and Ben!) and a Star Trek game. Pictures of both games attached.

Next week, I will run a Napoleonic naval game, while Dave Kightly has offered to run his ever popular zombie apocalypse game.

See yer soon,
Neil.

12th Feb Games

My Angels 20 game featured two B-17F 1/144 scale models which were ably flown by Ed and James, with Steve H commanding the two P-38 escort fighters. Andy and Bob flew Me109 G's and Fw190A's to attack the formation, but did not fare terribly well! Picture attached showing part of the action.

Steve Slater ran a Wings of Glory WW1 game to complete the aviation theme. A mixture of aircraft types took part in the action, including a Fokker D7 in the all-white colour scheme used by one Hermann Goering during his period with Richtofen's Flying circus; it appears he did not last long, being shot down in flames in short order......Picture shows part of the game in full flow.

This seems an opportune moment to remind one and all that Cavalier 2014 is being held at Tonbridge next weekend Sunday 23rd February 2014. We are running the Table Top Teasers on Tour War of Spanish Succession game we last played at SELWG last October. It has been advised that there will NOT be a bring and buy stall at this year's show, so don't bring stuff to sell. The link to the TWWS website for further details is http://www.twws.org.uk/index.htm

This coming Wednesday we have a Star Trek Attack Wing game lined up, together with a Warhammer 40K game.

See yer soon,
Neil.

29th January Games

Chris and Alan were play testing the Dystopian Wars naval rules (see picture) and by all accounts found the rules to be entertaining. My thanks to Dave Kightly for running his Zombie Apocalypse game for the benefit of the remaining attendees; Mike had the unique distinction of dying twice in this game after being attacked by the zombies and then despatched by his erstwhile foraging companions! A picture of the action is also attached.

Next week Mike, Steve Harbron and I intend to run a Star Trek Attack Wing game for any interested parties. I didn't hear of any other games arranged last night, so if anything comes up please let me know.

See yer soon,
Neil.

8th January Games

After the excesses of Christmas and the New Year, we have returned to what passes for normal club meetings within our circle! Thanks to Dave Kightly for running the 'Battlestar Galactica' board game this week, which occupied the bulk of those attending for most of the evening. Mike and I had a small scale ACW naval game using my collection and adapted ruleset. Suffice to say that Dixie was victorious and the snotty nosed Yanks had their butts kicked. Guess which side I was commanding? ;o)

With regard to the Tonbridge show on 23rd February, the game we are presenting has been changed to 'Table Top Teasers on Tour' as John Francis is not sure if he can finish the terrain boards for the 1914 game in time for the show. More on this anon.

Next week Andrew has agreed to run his 'Dogs of War' skirmish game, and I would like to give my WW1 naval rules another run out.

See yer soon,
Neil.
