Napoleonic Wargaming Society: August 2015

Saturday, 29 August 2015

Andrew helped Mark H and Olivier through their first game of Saga, getting ready for the Saga League competition.

Kings of War

Pike and Shotte

Kings of War

Daring rescue in a Wings of Glory game recreating the events of a real life incident involving Australian aviators in the Middle East 100 years ago.

We had a good attendance and some great games in play.

The hand of dice poised above an eight player Impetus game. Apparently the Romans were taking the Germans to task for poor road building.

And now for something olde worlde.

A small British fleet gave the French a nasty lesson in a game of Galleys and Galleons. More on this game can be found here: http://onesidedminiaturewargamingdiscourse.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/galleons-of-glory.html

And there was time for a game of Songs of Blades and Heroes ( the mechanics of which are used by Galleys and Galleons).

Actually the rules used were Fighting Fungi with these three magnificent specimens completed at 3am on the day.

Next games day is Saturday, 24 October.

Just two games, but what games they were!

Chariots run by Dave B.

A bit of a description of the two races can be found in this post:

The article on SAGA - Does and Don'ts may be of particular interest given the NWS SAGA is starting up again for its second season.
