Three what? you may ask. 3 games last monday at the Grimsby Wargames Society.
As you can see left, there was an English Civil War game between Mark Temperton and Mark Alcock. I suspect that Mark won…..

Malburians and The Battle of Arracourt, 18th January 2010
On 18th January 2010 the Austrians and British fought it out in a large scale battle on our big table downstairs. The battle was fought in the Malburian period. Funny, you say I thought it was 2010. 
Mark Alcock was the English and Andy Hamilton was the Austrians.
The English won this game eventually.
Playing in it were Dave Tuck, Martin Buck and Tim Mercer. 
The Battle of Arracourt took place in Lorraine, France, during September 18–29, 1944.Monday, 4 January 2010

Wargames 23rd November 2009
It was one of those nights which had a few games on.
A 15mm Napoleonic game between the Prussians and French. The Prussians on the left belong to John Ogden while the French on the right belong to Mark Alcock.
A WSS Game between Mike Barnatt's Tecklenbergers (on the left) or Andy Hamilton's Austrians (on the right). Andy Hamilton was also assisted by Mal Taylor.
Both sides in the WSS Game begin to move to the center of the action...
The Tecklenbergers (or Cheeseburgers as i sometimes call them) do battle with the Austrians mid-table. In the end the Tecklenbergers won.
These 2 photos (above) and the 1 below were taken using my digital camera by our own Martin Buck and are of the WW2 Desert game using the Blitzkrieg Commander rules on the big table downstairs. 
Playing in this game were Dave Tuck, Steve Mercer, Myself, Malcolm and Ron Skeet. Steve Mercer, using his own army, was the British. He was outnumbered by the rest of us playing as the Italians except for Ron who was playing as the Germans. All German and Italian armies belonged to Dave Tuck.
As my dice throwing had been really bad by throwing unusually high dice - well for me anyway - it meant my force - these M13/40 Italian Tanks - did not even move till about 9pm. Unfortunately they then didnt move for the rest of the game either.
How it looked at the end of the game.
These Italian Infantry are standard infantry. They are in fact Bersagleri. And are Dave Tuck's.

The Relief of Vilnius and much more
In returning to the club tonight it is time I reported on my previous monday night visit. The games that night - 29th June 2009 - were WW1 and WW2.
As you can tell by the title of this post a scenario based on the Relief of Vilnius was used for one of the games, specifically the WW2 game on the big table downstairs.
Playing in this game were Dave Tuck, Steve Mercer and Tim. Dave Tuck and Tim were the Germans whilst Steve was the Russians.
That nice chap with the beard watching the game is Martin Buck.
The view from Vilnius. The scenario came from the light blue Russian Front Rapid Fire! book by Richard Marsh however the rules they were using for this game were Blitzkrieg Commander.
The Germans had to relieve Vilnius and go back again. The scenario got harder as time went by as the Russians were also getting reinforcements to fight back.

Our fantastic WW1 terrain boards before gameplay.
John Ogden (left) and Andy Hamilton (right) in deep discussion over the rules. In front of Andy are command and control sheets, to be used in conjunction with the Schwerpunkt rules. The command and control sheets for attacker and defender differ slightly.
With Paul Robinson unable to make it and therefore no Americans, the game carried on using just Mark Alcock's Germans. John Ogden using the Germans in the trenches whilst Mark Alcock and Andy Hamilton were the other attacking Germans - standing in for the Americans. All the Germans in this game belonged to Mark Alcock.
