Busy,Busy,Busy-solo games.

I have had enough of painting for a while,but am playing solo games like the're coming into fashion!!
Over the past week I have played the following..................................


Treasure Island skirmish game-a good laugh!



World War 1 "Dog fight"


WW2 "Dam Buster" type game.



Plains Indians vs Wagon Train-this was a really interesting game-the woman in the centre of the wagons won the day by killing the Sioux Chief!!



A very big 7YW game-exhausting to say the least!



An ECW game-my favourite period-colouful and exciting.........................................



Action all the way,infantry blazing away at each other and cavalry galore!

I am in the planning stages of a "Jacobite" game from the 1715 rebellion,and will post the details asap.


Keep smiling.

    Great to see your solo games. I particularly like the wagon train circle, so atmospheric.

    A great selection of games, I've just been laid up with a broken leg and can't get to my toys so looking at blogs like yours is the only gaming fun I'm going to get for the next six weeks!

      Brian,funnily enough,I put two cards(one for each team) out,one marked "cheese" the other marked "no cheese"-Benny boy joined the team with "cheese" and the other team was shot at by poor old Ben Gunn!!
