A Very British Civil War (10mm, Blitzkrieg Commander II)
North Africa: British 8th Army v DAK + Italians (10mm, Blitzkrieg Commander II)
Moderns: Soviet - Afghans (10mm, Cold War Commander)
Moderns: Russia - British BAOR (3mm, Cold War Commander)
Escape from Colditz (boardgame)

Thanks Phil - will be great to welcome you...we're meeting on Wednesday night to think about whether to go annual [this has been every 2 years so far...]

More pics will follow as I get them from participants - I'm hoping someone got some better pics of my FPW!

Thanks mad lemmey - yep, once he'd got Obi Wan hoisted on his own petard, that was game over, man, game over...

Very ouchies! Lancers on the charge are a tad nasty
