The big problem with hills, in my opinion, is fitting them into a RUB...

In fact, looking closer, the Autumn mat also features... I find they blend well together.

We received that message at our church in Northern Ireland. Definitely a scam!

We played our Infamy game last night. I'm impressed by the subtle design that seems to give all the advantages to the barbarians, yet it's incredibly difficult for them to make the Romans go away. As the game goes on, the Roman drill and leadership counteract the initial barbarian fervour.

I have only played it a couple of times, both shortly after publication. HOWEVER, I have a game planned in a couple of days, which hopefully will reignite interest within my gaming circle!

If you're free on weekday evenings and don't mind travelling a bit, there's a game store in Ballyclare with tables available. Fridays are reserved for historical games. I go there from time to time, and I know quite a few of the regulars.

Unfortunately, it is. We're usually wrapped up by 4:30, sometimes earlier.

Yesterday at the Ulster Wargames Society, Phil put on a couple of games of The Men Who Would Be Kings. The scenario was the British invasion of Egypt in 1882. After two games the score was 1-1.

It was at Clare Gaming and Hobbies in Ballyclare. The Elimination club has moved there for its Friday evening games.

At least the French rearguard succeeded in holding off the British attempt to surround them.

Played a great game of Sharp Practice yesterday. The setting was the Peninsula, with the French escorting a small convoy (including the Colonel's mistress in her carriage) and being ambushed by an Anglo-Portuguese force.
