57th Game…
Not really, but I did want to emphasise the fact that the club HAS been paying games for the last few months, but that your friendly local blogger has not been present at most of them. There have been a few too many commitments, and I’m afraid gaming has taken a real back seat. However, Paul, John, Chris H and Terry have had a few games under their belt, and there was the double game that we ran where John and I played Napoleonics Austrians vs French (I was Austrian and won…) , and Paul and Terry played the battle of Crete in Flames of War. A fun night for all, even if John fell asleep in the AV room watching a Bridge to Far whilst we waited for Paul and Terry to finish!
The next game is scheduled for the 19th September, so my promise is a full battle report then!
Medieval Tournament in Taupo
A general invitation to all of the Irregulars went out to attend the Taupo Medieval tournament in the last weekend of January. Here re-enactors strut their stuff and sell their wares. John and Nathan decided that they’d drag the families along and were met with the newest Irregular, Terry (by the way Terry, if you are reading this, what is your e-mail address?).
John purchased himself a very fetching Roman’s Centurion helmet, and being the poseur that Nathan is, he had to have his picture taken. The results of the Irregular day out are here:
Centurion Ioannes
Centurion Natanus
and the Harem (apologies to ladies pictures).
Bloody hard to fight in that thing is all that I can say! All in all, a very satisfactory day out.
Next up, two reports – the Napoleonics game played at Chris S’s place, and the end of the battle of Montebello (spoiler alert: the French win!)
