Old Farts Wargaming

 Got to Jims after a LONG time.  Lots of old faces.

WWI Battlecruisers

 WWI naval at Jim's place.  An interesting set of home grown rules.  A draw, with one ship each side knocked out.

Poor Sailing

We headed to Jim's after a long gap to do some sailing.  Me and Steve (British) vs Ross and Cameron (French and Spanish)

Ross, as the Spanish, engaged the British first.  And got hammered!  Meanwhile, I was trying to catch up to Cameron, who was trying to get into position to help Ross - but neither of us managed to do anything before Ross was destroyed.  That left the French outnumbered 2:1 and they wisely withdrew.

Also some pictures of Jim's English Civil War figures.  These were the figures we used when we played the first ever Wargame at Jim's place - well over 45 years ago.

Dropped in on Jim

Dinner with Susan, then dropped in on Jim for a quick visit

A visit to Jim's

Dropped in to watch a game.  Jim was experimenting with his new rules -- Musket Action.  They looked good!  Draw from the bag to move a unit -- like bolt action with lots of officers.

Bolt Action in Style

Bolt action at Jim's place.  It is nice having a table in the living room!!!!

Jim and I were Allied.  Chris was German.  It was a close run thing, but the allied infantry overran the Germans on the last turn to get the victory.

March his men to the top of the hill, and marched them down again

Got to Jim's late, so spectated a French and Indian war game.  The British attacked the French on a ridge and were repulsed.

A sad day at Jim's

Played at Jim's place about a week after Carmel's death.  Jim was stoic.  it didnt stop him shooting me down in Modder Fokker's!  Also played cruel seas where our force was sunk by those dastardly Germans!

Hail Whomever

Played Napoleonics using Jim's version of Hail Caesar adapted for later periods.

The dice gods did not like me!
