Lord Kermit of Birkenhead

Cold War commander last night. British vs Soviet, Cheiftain Rgt with some recce and very ineffective artillery vs Two T72 btn with an attached BMP1 company and btn of 122s. No choppers or aircraft as both players were very rusty. British victory, think the Russians were overly aggresive, British lost 1 Warior the Soveits 14 T72. Cheifies are a tough bas**tds.

Three sided Mortal Gods

My Thespians held the objective we found off of the Spartans and Etruscans.
Helped by the fact the Spartans and Etruscans were too busy beating the snot out of each other!!!

Sounds like your game was well staged then if the Thespians won  :)

Our friend Tom Ballou was over from the US to run his wonderful Moby Dick whalehunt game as a participation game at the Colours Show. Then he kindly came to Oxford and ran it for us at OWS.
Not really a wargame, but it was bloody and it was a blast.

ACW. Fair Oaks aka Seven Pines. BBB rules.
Another playtest of Matt's scenario.
Game structure just about right now, produced an entertaining and absorbing see-saw fight.
Probably just needs one more tweak of the victory conditions and it'll be perfect.
As it stands, it was a bunch of fun anyway.
(blog post from last October's go at it is here:)
