Had a go at the Baron’s War Outremer down at #CLWC, it was great to get my recently painted 3D printed Arab Cavalry & Horse Archers on to the table. Typically as a newly minted army, they were promptly dispatched by a force of newly arrived Franks and their accompanying pilgrims. #wargames

Tiny tanks on table last night at #CLWC. Whilst it feels somehow unclean to say so, it’s our 2nd bash at Team Yankee and … it’s actually quite entertaining

Tonight at #CLWC I had a great experience with my first game of the #Napoleonic rule set #EmperoroftheBattlefield playing the author Ian, with the help of Richard, I managed to wrangle the British in to some sort of defensive arrangement and get totally stream rolled by the very efficient French.

The forces assembled for our latest game of #Baron’sWar down at #CLWC. It started off swimmingly with a build up of forces on left flank, it very quickly went to pot as my Baron and his retinue was cut down by humbling slingers as he tried to fight his way to have single combat with his opponent.

A hot Monday night at #CLWC, saw a game of #SharpPractice where French & British Forces encountered each other on the edge of the woods. In an effort to negate the powerful British line with a flanking movement came to nought, as the British weight of fire prevailed. #spreadthelard.

Met up at #CLWC for a second game of #02:00Hours, really enjoyed it, it was a great fun, although I was far too impatient and alerted the Germans to my presence far too early by winging a guard, from then on it was a fruitless firefight with little prospect of success.

Down at #CLWC we had the finale of our #SavageWorlds pulp weirdoes game based in 1920s Post-Mandate Syria. My one eyed, one armed French adventurer faced off a gang of marauders & an armoured car, with a swash buckling all or nothing charge. With help from other characters he just about survived.

Tonight saw a clash of steel in a second #Baron’sWar game down at #CLWC. The game started cautiously as both sides sized each other up across a contested village. In this doubles game we were getting to grips with the ‘you go I go’ mechanics and the various reactions that are available to units.

Some confused and disoriented pictures from my game of #OGroup with Richard down at #CLWC tonight, It’s been a while since we played and spent a fair bit of time scrabbling up the learning curve again. It was great fun despite my artillery having the evening off. #spreadthelard.
