Andy rounds up a busy weekend for the Society. Photos by Andy unless stated otherwise, header photo by Stephen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last weekend saw both a Society meeting and our annual trip to the Cavalier Wargames show run by Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society.<\/p>\n

Only three games at the meeting on Saturday, perhaps due to some members only being able to get out on one of the days.<\/p>\n

First up, David ran a Napoleonic Corps game using General d\u2019Armee rules and figures from his collection. This was a popular game with half a dozen members partaking.<\/p>\n

Eric ran a Judge Dredd RPG, only a couple of photos of this one I’m afraid.<\/p>\n

Finally on Saturday Andy and Stephen finished off their Lion Rampant Five Battles campaign, joined this time by Treasurer Mark and new member Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Game one.<\/p>\n

This was a Convoy mission, the Christians had to escort three “baggage” markers diagonally across the table, a cart, some monks and some civilians. The Muslim forces had to stop them.<\/p>\n

Game 2. This was to be our “Big Battle”, with two commands on each side. Here the objective was simply to defeat the opposition.<\/p>\n

We will post a write up of the final games in the campaign in the near future.<\/p>\n

CAVALIER<\/p>\n

On Sunday half a dozen or so members travelled to Tonbridge for Cavalier.<\/p>\n

The Society’s game for this year was masterminded and built by Phil, and was a 3D representation of a map game published in the 1977 Warlord Comic Summer Special portraying a Luftwaffe raid on Southern England during the Battle of Britain.<\/p>\n
