4th November Games

Greetings

A reasonable turnout last night.

Mark ran his Victorian Gothic Horror game for most of the attendants.

 

While Josh and I indulged in a Dark Ages Lion's Rampant game which, while starting a little slow due to poor dice, resulted in a win for the Saxons when the Norse warlord failed a post-melee courage check and remembered an appointment elsewhere!

Next week I have offered to run a Wars of the Roses Lion's Rampant game and Mark says he will run a game too, probably Lord of the Rings.

See yer soon

28th October Games

Greetings

     A busy night yesterday; we ran a four-handed Warhammer 40K game and Steve H, ran a play test of the new Thunderbirds board game. We also had a visit from Matt who had been in touch previously and took the opportunity to pop in for the evening. Hope you enjoyed yourself Matt - see you again soon!

      I confess my attention was drawn to a play test of Frostgrave by Chris and Andy H. I've been discussing this with Mike recently as a possible club campaign game and was able to play in the two games that were played. I'm hooked.

      Next week, I have suggested it is time for another Lion's Rmapant session. I'll bring my Dark Ages and Wars of the Roses figures and would welcome any other forces on the day. Steve S has offered a selection of Board games as well.

See yer soon

21st October Games

Greetings

We had a good turnout last night;

     I ran a small X-Wing dogfight in anticipation of the new Star Wars film in a couple of months time, with Steve H, Andy and Mark, which resulted in a close fought imperial win.

      Dave Knightly re-ran his '3.10 to Yuma' scenario using his Old West Gunfight rules and slightly modified sides, which turned into a massacre of townsfolk, but the good guys still couldn't manage to get the 'prisoner' to the train.

 A chunk of the club's Old West scenery collection.

 

 The massacre continues.

 The first annual American/Mexican sleep-off championships.

 

Next week we have a game of 40k and Steve H is bringing his new Thunderbirds board game to try.

See yer soon

23rd September Games

Greetings

A good turnout and a re-run of last week's games this week.

Dave Knightly ran a reworked version of the '3:10 to Yuma' scenario, that was supposed to give the good guys a better chance but ended up with them actually, initially, doing worse.

While Steve Slater, again, ran Carcassone.

Next week we may be down on numbers, so I will run a Napoleonic naval game (a couple of rules tweaks I want to try) and Dave Knightly has agreed to bring some Hordes of the Things armies along as well.

A reminder that the club is attending the Essex Warriors' Open Day this Sunday. I have arranged to run various Lion's Rampant games during the day and will be glad to see as many of you as possible to help and enjoy what is a nice little days gaming.

See yer soon

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
