Clubbing it! American War of Independence and Chain of Command Action

This is a late entry that I mean't to put up on Thursday but somehow forgot to do it! I know..... silly me :>)

Two great games were being played at the club on Thursday gone, one the climax of the AWI action as a prelude to Guilford Courthouse and the other part of an ongoing Chain of Command campaign being played by James and Dave in 1/48 scale.

Jim and I were mean't to be playing To the Songest , Late Medieval but I was knackered and deferred the game until next week. Best thing to do really as I was just about conscious enough to take some pics of the two games I wasn't involved in.

These are the results:

Bye for now.

Clubbing It!!! AWI Action at the Club Part II

Whilst Jim and I were finishing off our Late Medieval game of To the Strongest on the table adjacent to us were Nigel, Matt, Conrad and Shaun (who's collection it was) continuing with their AWI action, the Prelude to Guilford Courthouse.  I managed to glean that the Americans were beginning to crumble under the combined might of the British onslaught as the game progressed but I don't think I'd be doing the game justice by reporting about the game in any detail as my mind was firmly entrenched in trying to catch up with Jim in terms of tactics!

I did however manage to take a number of nice pics of the game which I hope that you will all enjoy:












My understanding is that the game will continue next week so I'll be there with camera on hand as usual.

Bye for no

Clubbing It!!! AWI Action at the Club Part I

Hi all,

I wasn't party to playing in this game but as it was one of Shaun's collections being used on the tabletop I couldn't resist taking a few snaps after we had concluded Part One of Game Two of To the Strongest (as seen on my La Journee Blog HERE)

The thing I really love about Shaun's collections are the loving attention to detail (I believe he could name every historical unit that he has in all of his armies). This really comes across when the mini's are being unloaded and set up on the table.

The game was based around the instigation of the combat that took place around the famous Guilford Courthouse as seen in an artistic depiction by Trioni below:


Having played in an entirely different game but lucky enough to be in the same room at Shaun's game I'm pleased to say that I was able to take a few snaps both prior to hostilities and after the game when the players had presumably gone to the pub for a glass of Port.

Hope you enjoy the pics:




























Bye for now.
