Shades of Hogwarts or Cluedo? The Hutt Valley Wargaming Club meeting on Saturday was moved from the auditorium at St Patrick’s College, Silverstream to the school library - Quintus, library, dagger! Michael Stonyer was there and sent these great pics and ended his report with a cliffhanger.
Craig Ellison (early Germans) vs Graham Starkey (ancient Spanish): The Spanish flank march of their Roman friends had arrived and was advancing to the rear of the German army. Germany cavalry was massing to counter. Out flanked and, in a vulnerable position, the German assault on the Spanish front goes in. Then? Mike had to leave! Craig and Graham, what happened!?

Richard Mason offers a toast. Well, coffee. No toast. Craig (Early Germans) and Graham (ancient Spanish) are getting into it. John van den Hoeven in the background on a table with clouds of smoke. The consequences of one of his horse armies or World War 2?

| Kaumātua Mason offering words of wisdom. |

| Graham, pensive |

Graham and Craig: Apparently a game of puns and dad jokes - one had been delivered  |

| Early Germans vs Spanish 80BCE. Notice the absence of the Roman legionnaires from the Iberian side. |
 |
| The Spanish flank march arrives. It includes their Roman friends. |
 |
| Graham’s flank march in all its glory. |
 |
| Graham: “Now what is Craig doing?” |
 |
| Graham: “So that’s what Craig is doing!” |
 |

 |
| The German cavalry form up to meet the “Spanish” legionaries as Iberian Ps(s) move past the German cavalry’s flanks |
 |
A six! My kingdom for a six!
umm.... how big a kingdom are we talking ? (if it's Scotland, hard pass) |
 |
| The German army is now in a difficult position as their frontal assault goes in and the Iberian flank attack advances into the rear of the German army |
 |
| The Germans are coming! |
 |
| The German cavalry counter attack the legionnaires coming in from the flank. |
 |
Out flanked and in a vulnerable position The German assault on the Iberian front goes in.
Final message from Mike: “Hey Vince, I had to leave the club at this point so I don’t know how this tale ends …” Craig and Graham, help! |
