Very interesting. I love seeing Mechs, but associate them with Weird War where I have walkers of some sort in almost every army.

The naval game looks fun too - do the flags on the stern of the base indicate the wind direction? Spent too many years ocean racing sailboats not to think about the wind direction and the maneuverability of he ship.

Enjoyable reports!

Flags are just there to denote nationality. Wind direction is donated by a arrow off map. To be frank Kiss Me Hardy is more to a game than a simulation for sailing ships. There are other rules much higher fidelity to the challenges of Age of Sail fighting. But KMH works for me being different enough from steamships as to give me my "fix".

Two good looking games.

Must get my WizzKidz mech stuff out again some time!

Very nice work, Konstantinos !

Great pair of set ups Professor.

We have played Kiss Me hardy with Last Hussars' "Napoleonic" shipd he convertyed from the "Pirates" collectable card game 

And thank you to all in the club who donated. If any body has any of those ships let me know if they are up for sale.

Sunjester and I have played the Osprey sail rules "Fighting sail". Simpler and quicker for big actions, but a bit simple. Good fun though

They look good

Take care

Andy

Konstantinos.....

I meant to ask......

Are the Mechs plastic or metal figures ?

If they're metal......I made a few of those. 
(I recognise the shapes.....Don't ask me the names, though.  )

You *are* prolific, Phil! A quick Google tells me you did a fair whack of Battletech stuff for Ral Partha

I'm afraid I did, Nathan. 

I did so many (or that's what it seemed).

I've got umpteen 'blisters' of Mechs in boxes in one of the barns with my name on them.
And the bloody 'Clicky Mechs'....There's the first two complete sets of releases out there as well.
(I certainly didn't make anything like the whole lot....But I did a damn good few of them.)
I couldn't do those now....Without gong completely insane.

Cheers - Phil

BOINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Sorry couldn't resist 

Stirring stuff Phil, I love me some Battletech

Even Dark Ages clicky, although the rules were pretty pants there's some good stuff in the models. Annoyingly I flogged all mine (picked up here and there on ebay) shortly before I got into Future War Commander >_<

No sweat, Ian  ...Straight line 'stuff' drives me completely loopy, now...and I know other designers will do the same type of work for  fraction that I'd need to charge to pay for the horse feed that the better half needs. 

Nathan.....I was told (Hah !)...that the boxes of 'Clicky Mech' stuff that I've still got would fetch four figures......Yeah, right !

I'll just keep making soldiers for Leon.
