Steve L put on a mega Waterloo wargame at the club last Saturday. It was really well organised with different tables focused on key areas of the battle, each furnished with orders, rosters, quick reference sheets and notebooks. Paul Ayres and I were to play Durutte’s division attacking Wellington’s extreme left flank around Papelotte. We allocated our forces, agreed a cunning plan and put our units on the table before we should have. Unfortunately, our Allied opponent was abducted by aliens so Paul took command of the Dutch Belgians and Nassau troops.

It's looking good for the Mexicans. Having fought off and avoided all opponents, Bonito Wacko has been released from the Fort and is galloping to freedom on a borrowed  horse.

DNL.pngWhen I first saw this game two years ago I knew I wanted to play it.  It looked to have all the elements I enjoy including Zoomies, Floaties and god-view strategy and tactics in the 1980s with all my favourite military hardware.  Sadly I was unable to afford the price tag without raising the suspicions of the domestic goddess so I had to forego the pleasure of buying the game.

Tongiht Paul Ayres very kindly led me through the game's beginnings.  Keeping my excitement at playing it for the first time was the difficulty. It's the complex kind of game that you can spend a lifetime playing and learning, just the kind I love.  Lots of looking things up (not as much as Harpoon V but a bit more than Red Storm) but as you get used to the game that will diminish.

Sadly on this occasion NATO forces came off badly to the Russian Bear  and have been pushed south from the north coast of Norway.  A plucky Buccaneer attack on the main naval task force did some damage but not enough.  At least the aircraft got home again, ready to strike another day against the might of the Red Aggressor.

Mexican Gunfight Open Table. All welcome.
Ian Tanner and myself will be running another large scale Mexican Gunfight on Monday 6th June.
For those that did not do the last one we had a good turn out at 13 players. We would like to beat that number. We can cope with more.....
We use 54mm with Timpo Mexicans, cowboys, Confederates and Union. The scene will be set in a Western town main street.
This really is boys' toys.
We’ll probably do something loosely around the 3.10 to Yuma…….
You will get one figure for which you can build the character. So if you want to be Tuco that is what you can be!
There’s a jumble box of figures. Pick one, and that’s the basis of your character.
If you want a six shooter, or a tomahawk, or even a spade that’s what you can have.
You’ve probably gathered that this is not too serious an event.
It will be chaotic......Ian Tanner will bring order to this chaos!
Rules used will be our cowboy version of “What a Tanker”.
Hope you can come. Please reply if you would like to play.
Those who have already confirmed need not do it again.
So sign up Dude.
