19th August Games

Greetings

    Thanks to Andy for running his Dogs of War game last night. it seemed like a really enjoyable game.

     I ran Mission 2 from Space Hulk (appropriately entitled 'Suicide Mission'), which the marines were unable to complete on this occasion.

     Next week there is a Warhammer 40,000 scheduled (no other details at present). Steve Slater wants to play test the Osprey steam punk rules 'In Her Majesty's Name' and will provide the bulk of figures. If anyone has suitable figures in hand perhaps they could be provided?
     There is a link to the game designer's website which has a play sheet and all other useful bits.

12th August Games

Greetings

      A decent turnout last night. Thanks to Mark for another substantial Warhammer 40,000 game (which I didn't have time to check properly I am afraid) and to Andy Hunt for running a Song of Blades and Heroes ( I think this is the correct title) for the benefit of myself and others. A good set of low level Fantasy rules and great fun to play.

      Next week, Andy Pierce will offer either Space Crusade or his Dogs of War game (sorry Andy, no trace of the Chaos robots we spoke of), and I'll bring the new Space Hulk again as it was not required this week.

See yer soon

5th August Games

Greetings

      Busy again last night. Mark and co. were involved with a large scale Warhammer 40,000 game, while Dave Knightly and Laurie reprised the HotTs game from last week.
      Steve H and I play tested Incursion, which was interesting; with parallels to Space Hulk but with some tactical quirks and event cards to complicate things, it is made for an enjoyable couple of hours (even though I lost both games!)

      I have been advised that Mark intends to run a further WH40K next week; I will offer Space Hulk, using the latest version of the game; this has been sitting in my toy cupboard awaiting the opportunity to sort out the pieces, and I think the time has come . . .

See yer soon

29th July Games

Greetings

Pretty good turnout considering we're well into the holiday season this week; Dave Knightly ran a hordes of the Things game using Chris Hardman's collection of victorian policeman and naval landing pary against what I think was a Dracula-led Transylvanian army . . .

My contribution was to run a 1916 period Wings of War/Glory game, which gave an outing to the Fokker Eindekkers and Morane Saulnier monoplanes in my collection, along with a series of other period aircraft.

Next week; various members are running a Warhammer 40k game, while Steve H has offered to run an Incursion game.

See yer soon

22rnd July Games

My thanks to Mark for his Victorian Gothic Horror game which kept all concerned busy up to the last minute. I ran a Star Wars X-Wing game for Bob and Andy, and actually survived the game!

Next week I am offering Wing of War for some WW1 aviation action, while Dave and Steve S have offered board games.

See yer soon

Fair turnout last night. Thanks to john for running an early WW2 game;

Whilst Steve H, Mike and I had some high altitude WW2 mayhem with an Angels 20 game, and I am sorry to say the German bombers got through almost unscathed.

Next week Mark will run a Victorian Gothic game, whilst I've been asked to organise an X-Wing game.

See yer soon

8th July Games

Greetings

Apologies for the delay in this weeks post; life has rather got in the way recently.

Mark ran a sci-fi game using some really nice scenery;

While Mike, Josh, Andy and I played a particualrly bloodthirsty Lion's Rampant game, which Andy and I lost in convincing style!
       *Amendment* I am informed by Andy that it was a draw at best . . .

This coming Wednesday I believe John will run a WW2 Rapid Fire game in 15mm, whilst I feel the need for a long-delayed Angels 20 game.

Lastly; a picture of the seems game of X-Wing, including some massive ships, at Broadside this year.

See yer soon
