Shared from Wargaming in Horowhenua: It was great to see four tables in action today [Sunday, October 18], all were ancient and medieval using 15mm, 20mm and 28mm. Ken Hay (taking a break from fixing his septic tank - thankfully an electrical issue and not needing emptying!) Grant te Tau and Paul Ridgway also dropped by to talk toy soldiers. The Airfix 50th anniversary book generated lots of nostalgia, conversation and fond memories 😊
Games played were:
ADLG: Steve Sands (Athenians) vs Bryan Fowler (Carthaginians) - they brought out their 15mm figures.
DBA: Stephen (Macedonians) vs David Taylor (Persians) played two games; 20mm figures. A couple of wins to the Persians.
DBMM 100 (quarter-sized games): Mike Waters (early Swiss) and Chris Blackler (Later Crusaders) battered each other to a bloody draw. 28mm figures.
DBMM 100: Samuel Taylor (100 Years War English) played my Lithuanians. A hard-fought win to Samuel, whose army was disheartened and 1.5ME away from breaking when mine finally broke. Notable events: MVP, Samuel’s organ gun (inferior artillery) fought off all assaults, even doubling some attackers; and King Henry (superior knights) using one of his brilliant strokes to add two when moving into close combat and got to factor 14! Samuel’s figures are 20mm and mine are 28mm, proving size doesn’t matter
