18th December Games

Greetings


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.


See yer soon

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.

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.

Numbers were boosted last night with the welcome return of Matt and a visit by Andy H. Dave K ran the planned Mad Dogs game whilst Andy and I ran my planned Viking Age Lion Rampant game for the benefit of Matt and Rob (who had never played Lion Rampant previously)/ The game was notable for the two leader duels, neither of which was decisive, although Rob's warlord was eventually cut down in a glorious last stand before his Norse departed the table. Despite this Rob likes the system and wants to play again.
The Mad Dogs with Guns game was a test of a scenario that I gather went well.

Currently, Dave K has offered to run an Imperial Assault scenario for the Star Wars buffs. I haven't planned anything yet, so suggestions from those who couldn't make it last night would be welcome.


See yer soon

Low attendance again this week, but Steve S ran a Deadlands Wild West Horror game for himself and Dave K, whilst Mike and Steve B were kind enough to invite myself and Steve H to join in an ACW game using the Rebels and Patriots rules. The latter was sufficiently bloody to result in a draw.

Next week, Dave K has arranged a Mad Dogs with Guns gangster game, while I've offered to run a Dark Ages game using Lion Rampant for anyone interested.

A few more members in attendance last night; Mike and Steve B played the Wild West game Dead Man's Hand using Mike's very nice set up, whilst Andy P ran a play test of his sci-fi game for myself, Rob, Mark and Steve S. This proved entertaining and some useful input for the rules was made. Thanks to Steve B for the box files he has kindly provided me - they will be very useful.

We are likely to be low on numbers again next week, so I'll bring the Hobbit boardgame (which can accommodate up to 6 players) and Battle Cry. If anyone else has any ideas, please respond.


See yer soon

This will probably be the last email to the Yahoo group due to the changes proposed; in future I'll post directly to the facebook group SEEMS WARGAMES CLUB, so if you haven't joined the group yet, please do so and I'll approve the application (this won't affect the blog).




We were able to run three games last night - Dave K ran a Mad Dogs with Guns gangster game for Mark, Andy P and Steve S. Rob and Alan played Aeronautica Imperialis (nice models btw), whilst I introduced Paul to my WW1 naval rules together with the Austro-Hungarian and Italian fleets. The game was kept fairly small as a teaching scenario, but suffice to say the Austrian gunnery dice were poor and the Italians were able to more or less cripple one of the Austrian dreadnoughts. I'm, working up the fleet lists for the pre-dreadnought fleets of both sides but this might take a while.

Next week, Andy P wants to run a play test of his sci-fi game, so I'll bring some figures and also bring along a backup game.




See yer soon
