24th September Games

Tonight was a busy night at club, with three games being run.

First up is Chris and Dave's, mismatched HoTTs game. 

Second is Neil's group participation game of ACW Ironclads in anticipation of the Essex Warrior's show on Sunday. It looked like this game went down really well.

Last up is my impromptu teaching game of Saga for one of our newer members, Paul. He mentioned he was thinking about getting involved and I just happened to have my figures on me.

A reminder that Essex Warriors Open Day will take place on Sunday 28^th September at Writtle Village Hall. Doors open to the public at 10 am and close at 4 pm. Entrance is free.

Attractions include a number of display and participation games, trade stands, refreshments, and the ever popular Bring and Buy.  

The traders booked to attend are Wayland Games, Andy’s Models and Games Gazette. Tolehaven are also attending as part of the Hornchurch club game.

17th September Games

       Thanks to Dave Knightly for running his Border Reivers show game in anticipation of SELWG. Laurie and Mark's Scot raiders won, getting all 3 barrels of gold out of the well and off their table edge, but not before losing a substantial amount of men to a couple of strangely powerful dogs.

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.

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.
