Anglo-Dutch Wars, The Great War and The Boer War...all at the same time!

Last Monday there were a nice selection of games going on. I'm saving the Anglo-Dutch Wars till last so you can all those fantastic ships properly.

First up, Boer Wars. Between Mark Alcock (left) as the British and Dave Tuck as the Boers using rules created and developed by both.

The Boer Trenches which the British were slowly making their way up to...

and didn't quite get there before the game finished. These are Mark's British (left). Unfortunately neither side got to see how a firefight at the Boer trenches would have turned out!

Paul Robinson's WW1 Germans attacking the town where Andy Hamilton's British were lurking

As you can see there are 5 Germans attacking this house where there are 2 British in the attic..

2 of Andy Hamilton's British looking out in the town in hard cover..

Anglo-Dutch Wars. All ships in this game belonged to Steve Mercer. Playing with Steve was Mike Barnatt.

Some of the Dutch fleet.

These English ships are new. Steve had not long finished them.

Wargames at Club 30th March 2009

4 games went on last Monday night at the Club:

Anglo-Dutch Wars. Nice to see these lovely ships on the big table downstairs.

The English Fleet is on the left (not the Royal Navy) with the Dutch on the right.

Slightly more close up on the English Fleet.

The Dutch.

Playing in this game were:
Dave Tuck on the English side assisting Andy Hamilton; On the Dutch side were Dave Hewins and Steve Mercer. The ships belonged to Steve Mercer and Andy Hamilton.

One of Mal Taylor's British tanks.

This was a small game using the Rapid Fire! rules. Playing in it were Mal Taylor, Rob and Dave "Pod" Hodson. All figures and vehicles belonged to Mal Taylor. Mal was playing British with Dave "Pod" Hodson, who were attacking a small town occupied by the Germans. Rob was playing as the Germans.

Mike Barnatt (on right) with James, one of our newcomers, deep in thought in their 6mm Ancients game of Romans v Pontus.

One of Mike Barnatt's homemade buildings. This one looks like a roman courtyard.

A "close-up" of the 6mm Ancients game.

WW1 game between the Germans and British. The British are occupying the town. Playing were Mark Alcock, Paul Robinson and John Ogden. These Germans belong to Mark Alcock.
