Greetings…
Last weekend our good friend Jan popped over to the Lead Belt for a visit and Alan and Michael (Perry) organised a weekend of gaming….
There was a game on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday…
I made it to the Friday and Sunday games… and to an enjoyable Saturday night out.
Here is Alan and Michael’s account of the games/weekend…
The Friday game was a War of the Roses affair which ended in a brutal and bloody draw.
The Baddies…Mostly because I wasn’t commanding them…
The view from the Forces of goodness…
Our compatriots from the Emerald Isle…
The cavalry brace themselves…
Basically everyone just charged at each other and went full on stabby stabby…
Stab…
More Stabbing…
Yup!…
In the end both sides were completely shattered…and stabbed…so we went to the pubđ
Sunday’s game was The Battle of Giniss 1885…
I’ve played this one before…
So… Another chance for the Enthusiastic Giniss Defence League to throw the Imperial Colonial Forces from their land…
Here we see the occupants of Giniss fully distracted and engaged in a community sewing bee…
An Imperial Colonial forward observation post keeps watch on our innocence pleasures…
The Defence League are also giving the village cannon a good clean and polish…
Meanwhile… The stomp and crash of Imperial Colonial boots goes unnoticed…
Suddenly alerted we drop our needles and thread and snatch up our pointy sticks…
Stomp, Stomp, Stomp and Stomp…
Towards the least observant village security guard in the history of village security guards…
Pointed sticks in hand the Enthusiast Giniss Defence League rush forward to defend their homes and local community health and sports centre…
Take that!… we got one of them… Hurrah! (It is of course possible that he may have just tripped over).
“Hi there…I like your nice red jackets “
“Can you keep an eye on these horses please”
“Yeah…no problem “
đ
This did not end well…
Charge…
I think you may be able to guess where this all ends…
The beautifully polished cannon let’s rip…
Hah!…
Another one bites the dust… hopefully.
In we went… lots of stabby stabby… we even made some Imperial Colonial Bootlicking Whelps run away…
Sadly pointed sticks and beautifully made cardboard shields are no good against cannons, machine guns and modern breechloading rifles…
So we ran away…
But we took the keys to the Local Community Health and Sports Centre with us… and emptied the Jacuzzi.
Considering the result this was a lot of fun…. My dice throwing was truly appalling đ
A great weekend was had by all and it was splendid to meet up with Jan again.
