Wild Geese 2026

Greetings…

I realised that I hadn’t posted any of the pictures that I took last month at our Wild Geese get together.

So here we go…











As always (it seems) I threw myself into Steve’s beautiful 42 mm Home Cast…Battle of Kenilwitz.

I came a magnificent second.

Next up…


Fochabers April 1746 from Guy Barlow.



















And last but by no means least…


Ecorcheurs… Run and written by Robert W. Jones.

A splendid skirmish wargame…Set in the Hundred Years War from Gripping Beast.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game…

Even though I got massacred 🤣.

All the best   Aly.

    3 excellent looking games. Thanks for posting your pictures. And after all, it's the taking part that counts, isn't it? ;-)

    A collection of images that look like they came from a long lost second volume of the classic (1974) Peter Young "The Wargame" book!

    I would certainly buy that book…😁

    All the best. Aly

    While all are lovely, that Gentleman's War game just has a certain panache that really appeals. Did you get to play in the game?
