Club game day

 

  On Saturday we held our monthly club meeting.  While most game nights are held once a month on a  Friday night in October we hold a game day .  thus gives us the opportunity to play games in the morning, take a lunch break then play more games in the afternoon.  Sometimes one very large multi player game is held.  What did we play this year?

  Ed, from Ed M's War game Meanderings blog put on his excellent Jousting game.  This is not your usual miniature game.  There are gigantic figures, excellent graphics and very, very clever rules.  It is really outstanding and I have never seen anything like it.  I know Ed will be doing a write up so I will leave it to him to better describe the game. 

  Mike Bailey put on his 28mm Pirate vs Royal Navy sail ships game.  Rules used were "Blue Waters, Bloody Pirates.". Again a beautiful looking game and great fun.  The players in it sounded like they were having a great time. Mike does a lot if sailing ship games and they are always fun.

  Lastly, I put in a War of 1812 battle.  It was based on Lundy's Lane with the topography and order of battle the same.  I changed some parts to make a better game.  Scott's Brigade did not have to stand under artillery fire for two hours, and the battle occurred during daylight so we didn't have to worry about night time rules and those complications.  Because of this one if the players  AJ said we must be fighting the  Battle of Fundy's Lane.  I like that and so that us what I will call it.  Next post a mire detailed account if the battle.
