23rd July Games

Thanks to Steve Salter for running the Carcassonne game again for various members last night. Chris, John, Mike and I settled in for some good old fashioned Dark Ages shieldwall fighting, using the Hordes of the Things rules. Picture of the game are attached; no clear result by end of play but a good time was had by all.



Current plans for next week include possible SAGA games, but other options would be welcomed.

See yer soon,
Neil.

16th July Games

Nice to get down to some gaming again last night, although it was a bit too warm for my taste! I have attached pictures of the Napoleonic naval game I ran for Mike and John at the moment a British 74 exploded, causing mayhem all over the table, and Mark's Lord of the Rings game based on the battle at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, albeit Legolas got the chop rather than Boromir! A quiet word with the continuity team may be required....



Steve Slater ran a Carcassonne game for Chris and Steve H which they appeared to enjoy. I am told this is a classic game which has held its place as a favourite for a number of years .

Thus far, we hope to run a substantial Hotts Dark Ages game next week; anyone who has figures appropriately based please feel free to bring along whatever you can, and we'll take it from there! Steve S has indicated he will bring along the Carcassonne game again.

See yer soon,
Neil.

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.

25th June Games

Thanks to Mike for running a SAGA game for my benefit last Wednesday; this means I will be starting work on Anglo-Saxons sooner rather than later! Chris and Dave Kightly played two HoTTs games while Steve ran a Doom game for Laurie and Alan.

This coming Wednesday I will bring Memoir 44, and Chris is considering a further SAGA game with Alan. Nothing else arranged at present, but other offers welcomed.

See yer soon,
Neil.

11th June Games

Fair turnout this week. Alan and Mike had a Saga game on the go, while I ran 'The Hobbit - an unexpected journey' boardgame for everybody else. This turned out to be a very good club night game, which those playing picked up quickly. One for the future I think.

Next week looks to be board game oriented. Dave Kightly is bringing Battlestar Galactica, Steve Slater will bring Doom (another club night classic) and I will bring Battle Cry.

See yer soon,
Neil.

4th June Games

Thanks to John for running a Rapid Fire early war game last night; it looked very nice. I ran a test ACW naval game for the two Steves prior to Broadside this weekend, which saw the Confederacy lose due to appalling gunnery/dice rolls.

See yer soon,
Neil.

28th May Games

Thanks to Steve Slater for providing TWO games this week for those attending! The Space Hulk game was run by Andy Hunt (with occasional support from me) while Steve ran Thunder Road for a bit of variety.

Next week, I shall run an ACW naval game in preparation for the Broadside show on the 8th June, and would welcome details of any other games which have been arranged.

See yer soon,
Neil.
