Authentic Man Cave footage taken during a Vietnam game Comrade James and I played during the game fest that came to known as "Turnerquade I".

"Helos Inbound"

Space Hulk at Turnerquade I

I standby my comment that Space Hulk remains GW's best ever game. The Boy and I havebeen playing it a bit over the last year. As a 'Stealer player, he routinely beats me, which shows excellent balance and game design. And of course, he doesnt let me foget his victories in a hurry... A target rich environment

Rearguard Action

Sergeants up Front...follow me!

Melee stand-off: Check out those die rolls!

Objectives acheived: both targets cleansed with the purity of flame!

I just love this photo!

The Valiant Fallen...

Turnerquade I

"Turnerquade" was a gaming weekend held in the Man Cave's nearby Annex, colloquially referred to as "the House", in July 2008 (the Man Cave Annex is situated in the Canberra suburb of Tuner, hence the name). Lucky attended from interstate and for two days the women folk allowed the three lads to play as much as possible. Accordingly, the objective was to play as many games, using as many different game systems as possible, in the allocated time. Needless to say, it was AWESOME.

So awesome in fact, that it was followed recently by Turnerquade II, with Turnerquade III now in planning. Here are some highlights of last July's games:
Space Marine Commanders consider the tactical options for a Difficult mission in Space Hulk (arguably GW's best ever game)

Success!

Lucky laments the appearance of the 'Fuel tank hit - target destroyed!" card, while Reilly's lone surviving fighter goes in for the kill on a Jap fighter (GMT's Down in Flames - Zero!) "Arrrggghhhh...Ahoy me me hearties!" Two scallywag Captains in a game of "Pirate's Cove" "Take that Vile Hun!" says Biggles, in a WW1 aerial game (using "Algy pulls it off" by Too Fat Lardies)

Appropriate winter headwear was the key to Russian Victory over the Finns in the Memoir 44 game.

Germans triumph over the US in this North African encounter (Memoir 44) - a protest regarding the possible luck granted by my coffee mug's slogan is still pending resolution.
