10th September Games

Thanks to Dave for running his Border Reivers game this week for those present; it was a suitably bloodthirsty affair which resulted in the Scots getting a bloody nose.

Dave has offered to run another Reiver game in the run up to SELWG, as this is the game we will be presenting there.

I intend to run an ACW Ironclad game the week after as a quick test before we attend the Essex Warriors Open Day at Writtle on the 28th; hope to see you then and also in the depths of Essex the following weekend.

See yer soon,
Neil.

13th August Games

Fair turnout this week; Steve S. ran a Doctor Who game for the benefit of the bulk of those present, whilst I spent a pleasant evening in Paul's company and ran a Wings of Glory WW1 air combat game for his benefit. Paul is considering joining the club, and I would like to thank those who made him welcome before I arrived.

Next week, a Western gunfight game has been arranged, while Chris has agreed to run a HoTTs game for the benefit of those interested.

See yer soon,
Neil.

6th August Games

Games Workshop madness tonight with two games of Mordheim and a large Warhammer 40k table.

Pics by wardy-la.

30th July Games

Pretty thin on the ground this week, due no doubt to holidays etc. Fortunately I had brought The Hobbit boardgame as backup, and thus we were able to run some entertainment for those present. No pictures as these would have been pretty uninspiring!

Next week, Mark and associates plan a Warhammer 40K game; nothing else planned at present as I may not be able to get along due to work commitments, but any other ideas are most welcome.

See yer soon,
Neil.

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.
