Well last night's game was more dramatic

20mm ACW, Black Powder with Glory Halleluiah. About two thirds of the way through the evening my Confederate partner suggested I might consider pulling back our right flank brigade as it was somewhat outnumbered. I responded, "you're assuming there will be something left to withdraw".

One regiment was hit hard by concentrated fire and rolled a double one for its break test, gone    The skirmishing regiment on the extreme right was charged and hit hard. It rolled a one and a two for its break test, gone    With half the brigade gone the brigade broke. With our centre about to be enveloped from the right by two Union brigades we conceded the game    

BBB: Shiloh. Rebs got whupped. Scenario needs some tweaks.

Tiny win for the pointy heads

Continued our 15mm ACW big game on Monday night - the CSA deployed two brigades in skirmish order to threaten my Union gunline, so drove them off with my own infantry, which then blocked the guns from firing effectively. The CSA troops closed up and counterattacked breaking one unit. Over on the extreme right flank a battle rages back and forth through the trees, where two CSA units have broken.

Went away to visit family this week, but still found time for a game of Midgard, Mercians vs Welsh.

I learnt an important lesson with these rules, always play on to the end of the game. I was going to concede after King penda had been killed in turn 4, be we decided to press on and by turn 6 I had in fact squeezed a narrow victory out of the carnage!

Another really tense and enjoyable For King & Parliament game yesterday, both sides couldn't afford to lose another unit

Courtesans board game.
Lost magnificently,  but loved it

Most likely the final game in my mini-campaign finished today, using Rebels & Patriots once again.

The same, but very different.
The same = BBB rules.
Different = we fought the battle of Hukou (1860), from the Taiping Rebellion (probably the third largest war ever). Full photo-AAR to follow on the BBBBlog later this week.

Got a good few games in at the weekend

Wargame - Legions Imperialis - Sci Fi - big 4 player all day game

Board games
Clank (dungeon crawl)
Architect (medieval city builder)
Rokgan River (sp) (Japanese trading)
Lord of the Rings Duel x2

Listing these out does make me feel that counting number of games isn't the most informative metric. As a 6hr multiplayer wargame counts as 1, as does a 30min 2 player board game. 

Put some more description in. It does slightly annoy me that in the 'Games played' thread you don't get much - people just answer the questions. I take them as prompts and reminders, not things to be answered directly.

If I have anything more to say, I usually post a batrep elsewhere.

Couple of games of Memoir 44 at the Burnley club last night, played the Operation Typhoon scenario twice. Germans won first game sacrificing tanks to get breakthroughs. Germans lost second game trying to use infantry approach first before unleashing the panzers, giving time for Russians to dig in further and deploy their own slow tanks.
