October 25 meeting

Another meeting where all the games were 25mm. Harley, Ceilidh, Jon, Carl and Emma played Blackpowder Napoleonic, Craig, Jim and John played Horse Foot and Guns Marlburian, and Vince and David played DBMM Ancients.

Craig, Jim and John played a dawn attack scenario from one of C.S.Grant and S.Asquith's books of scenarios for all periods. Craig and John had British and Imperial troops under Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy.  Jim had Peter the Great's Russians.
The allied force presses home its attack on the Russians.

Jon, Ceilidh, Harley, Carl and Emma getting their game underway.

I think these are French carabiniers.
A view of the Napoleonic game. 

David deploying his Marian Romans against Vince, who used Maurikian Byzantine. David was testing a new combination, using raw, recently recruited legionaries as well as Caesar's veterans.

An out of focus shot of part of Vince's army LOL

October 11 meeting

It was great to see so many people come to the club today to play, paint, and see what was going on. We had a multi-player 25mm Napoleonic game, 25mm Ancients, Naval, and a painting table. Here are pics from the day.

Don't forget, we also have a club Facebook that you can post on. Tell us about your games, painting, recent acquisitions, and just interesting wargaming stuff. https://www.facebook.com/groups/110862205607872/

25mm Napoleonics using the Black Powder rules. Rex, Harley and Ceilidh  using an allied force of  Brunswickers, Prussians, Portuguese and British. Aidan (sitting at the top of the table)  and Lawrence (striped shirt) were watching and learning. Carl and Jono had the French.
Rex's most recent acquisition. Perry Miniatures British light dragoons. The riders can be assembled wearing either Tarleton helmets or shako.

Dave brought his 25mm Anglo-Danes to play Wagames Research Group's DBMM Ancients against Vince and his Maurikian Byzantines. This pic also gives a general view of the hall.

Alex brought his Orcs and paints. The army is for Games Workshops 40K Science Fiction rules.

Craig and Jim used Dystopian Wars fleets and Criag had adapted the rules to represent early 20th Century pre-dreadnaughts.  Craig had New Zealand ships and Jim Japanese.
