Disaster at Jims

 Totally shellacked at Jim's!  See https://campcromwell.blogspot.com/2026/03/byzantium-v-arabs.html

Back to Jim's

 WWI Naval

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.

Modder Fokkers with Ross

Ross and I went to visit Jim's and had a fun couple of Modder Fokker's games.

Dropped in on Jim

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

Chris's Wedding

We have gamed for 30+ years!  Also pictured is Mark (Chris's brother) who I played with when we were in High School (I still have his Chinese army), and Steve, who I have also played with for 30 years.

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.

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!
