March Meeting at the Devon Wargames Group

Yesterday was the March meeting of the DWG and a very eventful day it turned out to be. The drive to raise the profile of the club and to attract new players in the area saw the club play host to 21 gamers and saw several new members at their first game with the club.

I took a few pictures around the room to capture the "hubble bubble" of conversation that precedes a day of gaming as people catch up and games are set up and briefed out to the participants. The really nice thing to see was that we originally had two games planned which rapidly progressed to four over the day to accommodate the numbers that wanted to play. Thanks to Steve H for pulling together a game of "Saga" and "X-Wing" as well as organising the game I took part in of "Hail Caesar".

The Sudan Table gets set up
In addition to the the three games mentioned, Nathan set up his lovely collection of 28mm Sudan figures for a game of "They don't like it up em" from the Lardies. Game reports on the days events will follow.

To "Senior" club members who got lost amongst all the tables and
couldn't find their way back to their game

Nathan held centre stage with is Sudan collection, very nice

The afternoon concluded with a quick game of X-Wing

A very warm welcome to all new members who came along yesterday and joined in the fun. If you are interested in joining a club in the Exeter area, then check out the Devon Wargames Group.

Club Games in May (Fire&Fury, SAGA)

Despite a very sunny day (not ideal war gaming weather) May's club meeting saw a great turn out with three games played by 12-15 members. As I was involved in the IABSM game I can only top line the others but have included some pictures that show the high standard of games we play in the club (no "silver surfers" here). The two other games featured forces in combat using the SAGA rules which are all the rage at the moment, and a set of rules I am looking forward to having a go with some time soon.

The other was very nice set up from the American Civil War using Fire and Fury Regimental rules which I know are very playable and give a a fun game.

Enjoy some "war gamers porn"

Next club meeting in June will feature American War of Independence using "Maurice" and War in Rhodesia using "Force on Force". See you then
