Society Meeting 26/09/2026

Andy rounds up yesterday’s meeting with some photos.

A mainly Sci-Fi and Fantasy day today, although there was a large historical game as well.

We’ll lead with Alan’s Star Wars X-Wing game, featuring a couple of large(ish) ships and several fighters (above)

Tony and Phil continued their Glacial Quest of the Ringbearer campaign, including the skirmish at the Ford of Bruinen and crossing the Pass of Caradhras.

The Pass of Caradhras, the fellowship set out through the snow.

Stephen planned a Dragon Rampant 2nd Edition day, but unfortunately had to drop out at the last minute, leaving Andy, Kim, Eric and Michael partaking. We managed four games through the day

Game 1. Andy’s Moria Warband vs Kim’s Swamp Lizards

Andy’s Moria horde lead by the Balrog close on the Watcher, with Kim’s Swamp warband doing the same.

Two of Kim’s marsh gas infused toad throwers (Light Missiles!)

Game 2 Eric’s Western Alliance vs Michael’s Saruman / Orthanc themed Warband.

Michael’s Uruk-Hai face off against Eric’s Ogre

Game 3 Eric’s Chaos Army vs Andy’s Moria Warband

Eric’s Light (?) Riders, the chap with the back mounted standard counts as 2 models.

Andy’s spiders (Lesser Warbeasts, Venomous) lurk in the woods preparing to charge Eric’s Dragon

Eric’s Heavy Riders, suitably back-lit. (The chap in the middle counts as 2 riders)

Game 4 Kim’s Swamp Lizards vs Michael’s Saruman / Orthanc themed Warband.

And we’ll round off with the single Historical game at the meeting, Mark’s 1/300 Napoleonic – Peninsular War battle, using his house rules.

This meeting’s mix was a little unusual, there are normally more historical games than ScFi or Fantasy.

You can see what’s planned for future meetings in our diary for 2026 and 2027, the latter is looking a little sparse at the moment, but it will soon fill up.

Society Meetings 24th September and 8th October 2022

A photo round up of a couple of recent(ish) Society meetings- August 27th and September 10th

Here’s the second of our catch up posts for a couple of our recent meetings.

24th September

A good turn-out for this meeting with 5 games in progress.

We start with Pete’s 10mm Vietnam “Charlie Don’t Surf” game.

Then on to some 3D printed and scratch-built Galleys & Galleons, part of the Mediterranean Galley Campaign being run by John.

Then on to a 6mm Napoleonic game, Poles and Saxons vs Austrians 1809 using Mark’s Home rules. (Forgive any errors in troop attribution).

Andy and Steve had another SAGA Crusades bash:

And finally for this meeting, Alan ran a 28mm WW1 Blood & Valor game:

8th October

More games but fewer periods for this meeting.

We start with a BattleTech game, a bit of an introduction for thee rules at the Society, only a couple of photos of these I’m afraid.

Six members contested the Trevor Pearless Memorial DBA Tournament, we managed to run five rounds of three games. There’s be a write up of this in due course, but for now here’s a few photos.
