New Club Venue.

Having put my house under Martial Law,I have commandeered the small bedroom as my temporary wargames room.

It's dry and warm and comfortable,what more could you ask for??-I even invited the rest of the "boys" around to watch me play some solo games....................................

Thanks for coming around lads,I really appreciate your company,but I'm not sure that you're observing the guidelines for "social distancing"!!!!!!!!


My first game-English Civil War,using all the 15mm figures I have-a grand affair,very enjoyable,and,I'm sure it will be one of many until his terrible business is all over.


An all-action game,taking about an hour and a half,with a win for the Parliamentarians-great stuff.
My next game,tomorrow, will be an attack by a Royalist force against a Parliamentarian-held village,with me taking the part of the Royalists.

The set-up for tomorrow -the "boys" seem to have gone home!!!

  3. Splendid use of spare bed but a tad uncomfortable to sleep in. How do you mange not to dislodge the figures or do you not toss and turn in your sleep?

    1. Allan,you've got it all wrong-this is THE WIFE'S bed,but now that I've convinced her to spend her isolation in the downstairs cupboard until this is all over,I can game happily with no upset to figures or terrain!!

  4. Fabulous! This along with the floor was my first table terrain for playing with toy soldiers - pure Land of Counterpane by RLS. I have yet to stitch together or hex my counterpane terrain shown here.
