What ruleset did you use in your last game - 2015?

[Leman]

1. Honours of War

2, Prussians v. Austrians

3, Introducing another club member to the rules - scenario one but this time Austrians attacking and Prussians defending. Once again the defenders were defeated,

4. Becoming very comfortable with the rules now.

A quick iPhone shot of last night's game.


Right hand end of the Argentine line comes under sustained fire from British Marines and a pair of Scorpions.
In the centre the Marine platoon took many casualties, but carried in fighting.
More later.

1) Bloody Picnic WW1, with local amendments.
2) Germans vs Belgians. 10 MM. Pendraken roughly a brigade of Belgians (attackinh) and a regiment plus Jäger of Germans
3) We've used them a few times before and feel fairly comfortable with them, though as we game early war we avoid a lot of the complex bits.. We do need a "sequence tracker" pinned up on wall though for next time.
4) Played before but we tend to add tweaks each time.
5) 2 players, me and Tony from Tiny Tin Troops.

We played the same scenario twice, swapping armies. Tony was badly handicapped by his reinforcement rolls, being unable to get his vitally needed Belgian guns on first time and then, as Germans second time, failing to get the infantry reinforcements he needed.

Doctor! Doctor! I need help! 

Last week continuing my reducation into games other than ancients, Napoleonics, 7YW and WW2 I was persuaded to take part in an X-Wing game. 

To my horror I really enjoyed it but was concerned during play that the Star Wars theme was playing in my head and when I moved my Tei Fighters I could hear that scream they make (or did I really make the sound out loud myself?).

Please help me as when I left, that Star Wars theme wouldn't leave my head and kept drumming away until I was asleep!!

Is this normal? Worried of Leicester.

It a great game, don't fight theDark Side (off to buy a Star Destroyer for Armada, it's bigger cousin)

Hail Caesar, 15mm Huns v Early Byzantine which the Huns lost badly. I like these rules as they give a fun quick game.

Was it a solo game or have you found some historic gamers in the Far North?

[Sandinista]

I have found a bunch of historical gamers up here  but this was a solo game to refresh my memory before teaching them this week
