29th January Games

Greetings


Still a bit low on numbers this week - Steve S and Dave K played A Song Of Ice And Fire again (and the Starks lost again). I ran the planned Men Who Would Be Kings game, using my Zulu Wars collection prior to the game at Cavalier in February. The Zulus chose to go in full bore this time, and nearly smashed the British on first contact. As it was one British unit was swept away and the other half reduced to half strength. The timely intervention of HM 17th Lancers on the British right flank reduced the Zulus to below half strength and won the game; so tea and medals all round!

Next week, Dave K has offered to run Star Wars Imperial Assault, whilst I've been asked to run a Battlefleet Gothic game.

22rnd January Games

Very low attendance last night. Steve S and Dave K played S Song of Ice and Fire, whilst Steve H and I played a Napoleonic naval game based on the action off Santo Domingo in 1806. Suffice to say the Starks took another pounding, and I managed to save two ships and a possible third from the pursing British - the scenario would work well with the large ships Warlord are now selling, but they'll have to wait as I have plenty awaiting the brush at present.

I'll run a colonial game using The Men Who Would Be Kings ahead of the Cavalier show on 23/02/20 which we'll be attending with a similar game. More details at http://www/twws.org.uk/

Very quiet last night. Steve S and Dave K played Last Night on Earth, whilst I ran Lion Rampant for Bronze Age Greek forces to give Matt and Steve H a game. Matt had to leave early, but by that point he was losing troops badly, so Steve and I won . . . I think.

 

 

It was nice to see a French and Indian Wars game on another table using the Muskets & Tomahawks rules. 

At this point, I've offered to run a Napoleonic Naval game next week, any other offers would be most welcome.

8th January Games

The first meeting of 2020 saw three games under way. Rob ran a Fallout game while Mark ran his Barbarian Fantasy skirmish game.

 

For my part, I ran a full version of the Mortal Gods ancient Greek skirmish, which I've been trying to arrange for some time. The game went well even though Mike C and I lost most of our forces to next to no loses from the other side.

I've agreed to run a Lion Rampant variant for my Bronze age Greeks next week. Not sure what else is planned due to probable low attendance.

Despite local traffic problems, we were able to run the Christmas Adventures in the Lost Valley game for everyone in attendance. Rob's friend Pete and Phil for the Community Centre crowd were also in attendance for the ensuing mayhem umpired by Steve S, to whom thanks for his efforts.

This was our last meeting for 2019, subject to other off piste games; the next scheduled meeting will be on Wednesday 8/1/20. Decisions on games will be taken nearer to the date.


Best wishes to all for 2019 and may your Christmas be whatever colour the best fits with your domestic décor.

We were able to run two games last night - Rob ran Dark Souls for Andy P, Mark and Dave K, whilst Steve H entertained myself and Steve S with the sci-fi version of Zombicide. I thoroughly enjoyed the latter and I understand the former game was enjoyable too.

Mike was playing a Horus Heresy vintage Warhammer game (his Ultramarines up against the Alpha Legion) and he won!

Next week sees our end of year Lost World game to which all are invited. I've booked two tables with Waylands to ensure we have enough room.

4th December Games

Quiet again but we ran two games last night. Dave K umpired an introductory scenario for Star Wars Imperial Assault for Mark, Rob, Steve S and Andy P, while Steve H and I tried out a DBA based set of rules for ancient naval warfare. The Imperial Assault game was a learning process which it's been pointed our runs better using the app as this will run the game and campaign updates. The De Bellis Navalibus rules played our rather faster than the set we had before and seemed to feel more realistic. Some work will be required but they could prove useful.

Next week, Dave K has agreed to run the Lost Souls boardgame, whilst Steve H has offered to bring the Zombicide Sci-Fi version along. I'll look to bring a back up game just in case.


See yer soon
