Last night's club game was yet another whirl of Tribal.
Elliot and Mike played with two 10 point forces using my HABs / Celts. Solid win for Elliot as the cards were more than kind to him.

Last night's club game was a welcome return to Tribal. My Aztecs against Alan's Talexians. We used it as a chance to introduce Eliot and Mike to the games. Talexians won by one point.
Only one picture as we got carried away with the game.

Thursday's club game was a return to Check Your 6 but 100 Hours War rather than our usual WWII Pacific.
Quick one on one game to introduce a new player to the game and remind me how the game works.
Next week we roll out the first scenario.

Just finished these 1/600th Tumbling Dice planes for the 100 Hour War, also known as the Football War. This was the last time piston driven planes fought. I've found six scenarios from the war and will be using the Check Your 6 rules. Coming to the club in November.

Last night's game was a 2nd of Blood and Horse Droppings with Elliott's Game of Thrones collection. They're all Peter Pig W of the R figures but the heraldry is from the books.
Learning game with two players a side. Still feeling our way with them but great fun.

Thursday's game at the club was a 2nd game of Fistful of ToWs.
Soviet forces roll over the Inner German Border.
Only tanks, APCs, and infantry as still a learning game.
Looking forward to revisiting this and bring more unit types in.

Thursday night's club game was Star Wars Big Chain of Command.

Very glad I've watched some of the Clone Wars cartoons so I had a clue what I was commanding.

Yesterday was our 1st game of Tribal end edition. Using my Aztecs and Alan his Tlaxcalans
We barely scratched the surface but what great set of rules. I've been waiting over a year to try them and they didn't disappoint.
Tlaxcalans beat the snot out of the Aztecs btw.

Thursday saw our 2nd game of Dread Naught, again with my MY ships.
We're not getting on with the rules and have decided to leave them until the full set are out. Shame as we're always on the lookout for a good GW naval ruleset. It's nice to get the ships on the table.

First game of Barry Hilton's Dread Naught with my Mick Yarrow Great War 1/4800 ships.
Very interesting start. Plenty of questions raised. We'll give it another game or two before making a decision.
NB We're only using the Essentials rulebook.

Last night's game was a return to Bloody Big Battles. No real scenario as we tried out the Napoleonic adjustments in anticipation of the Napoleonic scenario book.
Great fun and felt different to the mid-19th century games we've played previously.

Quick game of Song of Drums and Shakos at the club last night. 28mm Perry French and Victrix Bavarians differ on the ownership of a small holiday let. Pyrrhic victory for the French.
Took a bit to get back into the swing of things but a great little skirmish ruleset.

Played a second game of Great War Nimitz/Halsley last night at the club. 1914 in the North Sea.
Ship rosters, from the FB group, have been tweaked. Mainly for speeds. A modified fire table using D10.
Very interesting game. No major engagements. Very kriegsspiel feel.
