In addition to the Stargrave game previously reported<\/a>, there were two other games run at this meeting, both using rulesets new to the Society from from Two Fat Lardies .<\/p>\n

First up the 6mm Ancients players tried out the Strength and Honour<\/a> rules with a couple of games involving Roman and Pontic armies.<\/p>\n

Our members collections are primarily based for Field of Glory \/ DBM, so for this trial game Perspex bases were used to reflect the bases sizes in Strength & Honour.<\/p>\n

The first game was a narrow Pontic victory, the second was a Roman walkover.<\/p>\n

Some members are also building some armies in 2mm for these rules on the regulation bases, here’s a Roman legion arrayed in the triplex acies<\/i>:<\/p>\n

The second game to feature a new ruleset was an early WW2 game using “O” Group<\/a> rules. This featured a British advance on German positions, and ended in a German victory as the British failed to inflict enough damage on the Germans.<\/p>\n
