16th September Games

Greetings

Good turnout this week;

Thanks to Dave Knightly for his Old West Gunfight game based on the film '3.10 to Yuma'. We'll play this again next week as there was a call for a rematch. Suffice to say the Lawmen didn't get the Outlaw to his train ride to destiny and they were mightly displeased.

Steve Slater, also, ran a game of Carcassone for those remaining.

See yer soon

9th September Games

Greetings

We were a bit down on numbers this week, but two good games to hand.

     Thanks to Dave Knightly for running his Post-Apcalypse/Zombie game which I was able to take part in and thoroughly enjoyed.

Andy showed his voyeuristic side by thoroughly investigating a zombie using a urinal.

While everyone else searches shelves like 'normal' survivors. 

      Alan and Josh were engaged in a Warhammer 40k game which featured some impressive ruined buildings.

     Next week, we have an Old West gunfight game arranged, which Dave Knightly will run. While I have been asked to run an Angels 20 game by Dave Crook who says he will be able to attend.

See yer soon,

Neil

2rnd September Games

Greetings

A decent turnout this week.

Chris ran a big game of Lion's Rampant for those interested.

Steve S ran a game of Pirates of the Crimson Coat.

There is always one. . .

While I ran a game of Space Hulk for the benefit of Andy H, Laurie and Dave K. The first scenario appears to require the Terminators to move faster than was the case on this occasion . . . Hopefully, the lesson has been learned by the Emperor's finest.

Next week, Dave K has offered to run his ever popular zombie game for those attending (since we may be a bit light on the ground) and I will bring a backup game.

See yer soon

26th August Games

Greetings

Pretty good turn out last night; Steve Slater ran our first game of 'In Her Majesty's Name', which proved entertaining and worthy of future attention. Mark ran a Warhammer 40k game which I, unfortunately, didn't get a look at.

Next week we have a 'Pirate of the Crimson Coat' game lined up, while Dave Knightly has asked me to run Space Hulk for his benefit as he hasn't yet had a chance to play the new version.

See yer soon

19th August Games

    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
