Some club games

Some quick pictures of games played at the club recently. First Cruel Seas ( or Bolt Action in boats, if you want to call it what that!). Here I'm British, escorting a convoy moving from left to right. 

The enemy has hit one of my boats, but I can't remember now if the additional smoke was deliberate or due to enemy action. Then one merchant ship got sunk. 

But then the second merchant ship got rudder damage and turned to the right, heading for an enemy boat and an island.  

A game of Rebels and Patriots using AWI figures. This game is the latest in the Lion Rampant series, and was great fun.  If you haven't played these games, and you fancy a great skirmish game that's fun for all involved, then do give them a try.  To me, they're far better than other glossy and more convoluted skirmish game systems out there.    

The objective was to capture the wagon between the two hills, but for our club it's more a case of getting stuck in.  

At the end we captured the wagon, and thus bragging rights, but it didn't really matter as we had a great game. 

And a few random shots of a game of Maurice. Here the forces are 15mm Great Northern War. Maurice is a card driven game that we return to on a regular basis. Always a great game.

The views are all from my Russian side, though in here a couple of Swedish units are substituting for Russians. Above is the Russian right wing cavalry, below the centre advances. 

The Russian left of centre holds it's ground for now. 

But the Swedish centre starts to crumble. It seems on this night, the dice gods did not favour the Swedes. 

Another great game, and one that we hope to return to in a few weeks for a Seven Years War bash.
