Andy rounds up last weekend’s society meeting.

Another good turn out for the second meeting of the year, around 20 members were present with 5 games in progress.

First up we have John L running another naval game, this time in the South China Sea with Emperor Ming taking on Li Chee (the Pirate Queen) using Galleys and Galleons rules.

We then move on to David P running a small Chain of Command 2 game, in 20mm, to introduce the rules to a couple of players.

Former Chairman John ran a 6mm Ancient FOG game with multiple players

Current chairman Mark, together with Dave and Chris put on a Legions Imperialis game using masses of tanks etc.

 

And finally Stephen ran the third of his trilogy of 173rd Airborne in Vietnam games, Operation McLain, in 15mm. A write up of this game will be appearing soon.

A new beginning…

Maidstone Wargames Society held their first meeting of the year on Saturday. This meeting includes our AGM so often has a good turnout.

Around 24 members were in attendance for the meeting. The AGM was, as usual, short, only around 30 minutes. Also, as usual, the existing committee was re-elected without opposition. Despite the chairman’s pleas to be released!

There was also a very good turnout of games, covering a variety of scales, periods of genres, here’s a short photo round up.

John L brought out his 1:1200 Baltic Galleys for some Naval action.

Another naval game, but a few centuries later and under the water rather than on it, Peter M staged a 1:100th Stingray game, “Anything can happen in the next half hour“.

Paul and Colin brought out some 3mm Ancients for some FoG games.

Tony G and Stephen both fielded Anglo-Saxon warbands for some 28mm SAGA games.

Some more recent conflict now, some late WW2 Chain of Command action staged by chairman Mark J with 28mm vehicles and figures.

And last, but by no means least, Tony F and Phil staged a battle from the Lord of the Rings, again in 28mm.

That’s it for the round up of the first meeting of the year.

MWS meet on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month (except the 4th Saturday in December) from 10:00 to 17:00 at Linton Village Hall, south of Maidstone on the A299.
