The D-Day game held at Pimley Manor.
May I in the first place thank those who came along to enable John’s and mine flight of fancy which was to put on a Bolt Action D-Day game. Those coming allowed us to do the game we wanted to play. We used the Bolt Action rules as those are know by a majority of those that played. They sort of coped with the numbers of players and the situations that arise during the game. Impressive to see the collections of figures, tanks and landing craft that people brought to the game! Noted some had been up the early morning to get everything painted and ready for the game.
Critical point in the centre action of Trafalgar. Having broken through the Combined Fleets line and raked the stern of the French flagship Bucentaure, HMS Victory leads the British white squadron into close action. Interesting and highly enjoyable big fleet action with Ian Steventon .
In a nail-biting session this afternoon, Paul G and Ian took to the skies in Paul's new set of Undaunted miniatures. A 3D take on the counter game, this new accessory literally added a new dimension to the game with the addition of tiny miniature aircraft. Paul's exquisite painting meant that each aircraft was represented by a tiny aircraft on its own custom stand.

Another glorious battle of Xenos Rampant for James Davies and myself. On a remote desert world, Old man Calgar and his trusted marines battled the forces of Khorne for the ultimate prize of the Skull of Angron. Although the forces of Macragge bravely fought back the forces of traitors, the skull was forced to be left behind. Upon leaving the worlds surface the Vox equipment of all was filled with the sound of demonic laughter...Surely the Demon Primarch could not return....
Another conflict in the skies. This time the setting is North Africa, with Ju87Ds on a mission to bomb British artillery installations. Escorted by six Bf109Es, the slow but steady squadron of four laden Ju87s set their course across the featureless desert. In the distance were two elements of allied aircraft that turned out to be P40s, piloted by some rather skilled chaps.
