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.

A close up of some of Andy Hamilton's fantastic looking Austrians. I am also using this photo for my blogger profile at the moment.

The English won this game eventually.

A World War 2 game using Blitzkrieg Commander rules using a Rapid Fire! scenario.  The scenario in question was the Battle of Arracourt from the Northwest Europe Rapid Fire! scenario book (the green one).

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.

Wargames At The Club 23rd September 2008

There be a few games on the 23rd September 2008. 15mm Napoleonic, Malburian/WSS Game and Ancients. John Ogden and Mark Alcock were playing the 15mm Napoleonic game, Andy Hamilton and Mike Barnatt were playing the Malburian game. Steve Mercer and Dave Tuck were playing Ancients: Dave as the Ancient Germans and Steve as the Romans.

These are Mike Barnatt's Tecklenbergers, after Mary of Teck. It is a fictional state.

Andy Hamilton's Austrians. Slightly flagless but that's work in progress. Andy's figures are just so great to look at. This photo is not the best one I have ever taken of them.

Some Roman Archers.

Some more Romans.

15mm Napoleonics. These are some of John Ogden's Russians.

The Battlefield. The game had started late and I was only passing-by which is why it looks as though nothing has happened yet.

Mark Alcock's 15mm French. A view down the line.
