Club meeting 13 September

Rob and Dan had a WHFB game, with Rob's African Ogres beating Dan's ratty Skaven. A good practice game for the victorious Ogres with Fields of Blood coming up in a couple of weeks.

Kendall (Imperialists) beat Philip (Persians) 9-1 in DBR 15mm. Another good practice game for Push of Pike. Not a good run for the Persians with only 1 win out of 5 practice games so far!

In FoG-Napoleonics, Andrew got a convincing win with his Italian/French army against Brett's Austrians. The new command and control rules were tested, and the game came to a more decisive conclusion.

Grant, John, and Keith had an AWI game. It all looked spectacular in 28mm, pictured here.

Club meeting 30 August

Just the two games today. Firstly, Benny and Nick had a Flames of War free for all, between the Italians (with allied German Panzer IVs) and British western desert armies. Both had all armoured forces, without any infantry at all.

In the other game, Brett and Kendall played FoG-Napoleonics. It was a moderate victory for Brett's Austrians against Kendall's Prussians (based on the II Corps from the battle of Bautzen 1813).

Club meeting 23 August

Two Flames of War games - Ken's Germans played against Rob's British armour in the morning, and then in the afternoon played against Kit's Russian guards. The second game was an epic struggle, ending with a polikarpov making repeated attempts and finally destroying a German battery to break their army, just as Biermeyer drove over a Russian objective.

There was another PoP training game, Grant's Poles getting a decisive 10-0 win over Philip's Persians. The misty weather continued throughout the entire game, causing some PIP problems.

Club meeting 9 August

We had two games at the club today. One was a FoG-Napoleonics game between Brett (French) and Kit (British). The British were ahead on points, with their Guards seeing off an Old Guard attack.

In a DBR game, practicing for Push of Pike, Philip's Persians won 9-1 against Benny's Venetian Colonial.

Club meeting 26 July

WHFB - Dan (Skaven) played Rob (Demons), pictured here.

DBR 25mm - A 500 AP early period game between John (Spanish Imperial with English allies, pre 1534) and Philip (Tudor English with Maximilian allies, 1513). A 9-1 win to the Empire. Both allied contingents did just enough on their flanks to justify their employment, but not enough to endanger themselves. Meanwhile the Imperialist pike block destroyed the English billmen in the centre of the battlefield for almost no loss.

FoG-Napoleonics. Andrew (French) played Brett (Austrians). A long game on a table heavy with terrain, but the Austrians got the win.

Club meeting 12 July

Kendall and Kit played a Rapid Fire game, Brits and Australians vs Germans and Italians. The scenario was based around the Allies defence of Tripoli, in which the Axis was repulsed in this game.

Brett and Philip had a FoG-Napoleonics game. Brett's Austrians got a marginal victory over Philip's French Army of the Orient. A closer examination of the rallying rules after the game revealed that it probably should have been a more convincing Austrian victory. As you can see from all the white card in the picture, our old Principles of War armies are being rebased on the new FoG standard bases (40x30mm)
