Pirates at Grimsby 17th December 2010

On the 17th December 2010 a Pirates game was once again held at the Grimsby Wargames Society. The ships belonged to Andy Hamilton, Mal Taylor and Mike Barnatt

And Then There Were Three

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…..

Steve Walker was also there on another table as he had brought his 15mm WW2 Germans and Romans along for Malc Johnston to do a photoshoot for the new “Official” club website at http://grimsbywargamessociety.webs.com

Malc unfortunately could not make it that night. Steve however didnt mind myeslf taking some photos of his figures. His photos will be my next post……

Shiver me Timbers! Its them thar pirates and a 7 years war game!

On the 8th February 2010, the last time I entered the Grimsby Wargames Society premises, there were just 2 games going on: A Seven Years wargame using the Black Powder rules and a pirate game between a pair of old sea dogs. Arrrrr!!
  A Busy night at the Grimsby Wargames Society. Well, busy as in there were   plenty of people about.




The 7 years wargame using the Black Powder rules from Warlord Games. Playing in this game were Ron Skeet, Dave Tuck, Steve Mercer and Mal Johnston.




The Austrians.






The Prussians (I think)





A small battle taking place in the 7 years wargame.



Pirates! Think this ship belonged to Mal Taylor.



A ship full of pirates. Think the big ship belonged to Mal too.





The small pirate boats coming alongside the pirate ship in an attempt to board it.






These Pirates belong to Mal Taylor. At this moment in time I am not sure where he got them from.
