15th January Games

Greetings


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.


See yer soon

8th January Games

Greetings


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.


See yer soon

4th December Games

Greetings


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

25th September Games

Greetings

We were very thin on the ground last night, but were able to run two games.  Steve S and Dave K played Space Hulk, whilst I hosted a trial game of Mortal Gods (the Ancient Greek skirmish game from Footsore) for Mike and Steve B. This proved interesting despite a lack of familiarity with the rules as I haven't had much time to study them due to the domestic situation as you are all aware. Suffice to say we'll play this game again soon.

Thanks also to Mike for the two model ships from his copy of Wargames Illustrated - I'll pick up my own copy shortly. Any other models would be appreciated but not required.

Next week, we've planned a Terminator game as a test run before we present it at SELWG on 20/10/19.

See yer soon
