Andy shares a few photos from the games at the latest meeting.<\/em><\/p>\n

A very good turnout for this meeting with five games in progress.<\/p>\n

We open with a WW2 Operation Sealion game, using 28mm figures and Chain of Command rules put on by Alan K.<\/p>\n

Above we have the view from the German end of the table.<\/p>\n

The British helpfully make sure the Germans can read the minefield signs,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A break in the cloud cover as a German section approaches the minefield. Have they noticed the signs?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
British regulars take position behind a hedge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The Local Defence Volunteers occupy some hasty defence positions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
A couple of German tanks fall victim to the LDV’s improvised anti tank weapons, a Northover Projector and a Fougasse (one of the German players apparently noticed the oil drums under a hedge at the T junction, but didn’t mention it to his colleagues!).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tony P and some of the FOG regulars ran a 6mm Ancients game.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ancient battle lines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
A lot of members use 6mm figures on the same size bases intended for 15mm figures, this lets you depict formations such as the cavalry wedge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The main battle, looks like both sides had some good die rolls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
A cavalry clash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stephen and Andy concluded their “Lackland Goes North” Barons’ War campaign. A write up to follow (eventually).<\/p>\n

\"\"
Angus Balfour and his highlanders, including Father Ninian. Part of Stephen’s army.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Some of Baron Andrew’s Mounted Sergeants charge to finish off some Highland Rabble after they’ve been decimated by his crossbows.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Laird McTook’s troops approach the river bank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Laird McTook, who appears to have forgotten his horses!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Baron Andrew’s deputy Lord Eric charges Laird McTook’s knights (although on foot these were treated as mounted, simply because Stephen forgot to being his cavalry box)\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Peter M ran one of his Victorian Sci Fi games, the Earther invasion of Mars, using some wonderful kitbashed \/ scratch built 6mm flying ships.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Martian and Earther flyers cross over a Martian city<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And last, but by no means least, David S and Chris S ran an Infinity 28mm SciFi game. They made a lot of their scenery from domestic waste materials.<\/p>\n

\"\"
David & Chris built most of their scenery from waste material, including packaging, straws and bottle tops.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
David’s troops (I think) in their bright orange suits. +1 to hit?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
More of the Dayglo warriors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Your first mistake, mate, was to come out from behind the plastic straw pipework. And it may well be your last.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s all for this week.<\/p>\n
