Blood, Fire and Death: Western Approaches Convoy Action - 1941 - Bay of Biscay‏

http://whippedraw.blogspot.com/2015/05/western-approaches-convoy-action-1941.html

Tuesday, 19 May 2015. Western Approaches Convoy Action - 1941 - Bay of Biscay‏. This is another AAR by Club Member Chris, from last Wednesday. Again it's using General Quarters First Edition Rules and ship models at 1/3000 scale (aircraft 1/600). I must say I don't envy Lawrence having to fend off all those bloody U-Boats and air attacks! Once more there are no photos from the game - although I'll certainly take some when I get along to the club next. She also had Direction Finding equipment and an Echo ...

Blood, Fire and Death: September 2014

http://whippedraw.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, 28 September 2014. Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, RAF Coningsby 2014. The hangar area had plenty of stalls selling merchandise of different sorts, plus some interesting charitable ones - such as the campaign to restore a Mosquito to flying condition. I took full advantage to buy a few art prints and get them signed by Sgt Pilot Eric Quinney who flew one of the Lancasters in the 1955 Dambusters film. Do yourself a favour, buy a membership (it's cheap) and get along to next year's! Last weekend...

Great Teacher Ookami_Tez: Viikkokatsaus #48: Averland Cook School

http://ookamitez.blogspot.com/2014/07/viikkokatsaus-48-averland-cook-school.html

Ookami Tezin hääräämistä kaikesta Anime/Manga-Videopeli-Roolipeli-Figupeli-Internet viisikulmion sisältä ja varmaan vähän sen ulkopuoleltakin. Maanantai 7. heinäkuuta 2014. Viikkokatsaus #48: Averland Cook School. Soppakattila kypäriksi ja kauha palloksi. Ykkös numerolla pelaa Twig, tämä puumies on jo osoittanut kentillä oman osaamisensa. Puumieheksi hoikka Twig on osoittanut että taidolla ja yrittämisellä tuokin saadaan korjattua ja hallitsee tällä hetkellä liigan murjontatilastoja selvällä johdolla.

Blood, Fire and Death: General Quarters WW2 1/3000 Naval Game Report

http://whippedraw.blogspot.com/2015/05/general-quarters-ww2-13000-naval-game.html

Monday, 11 May 2015. General Quarters WW2 1/3000 Naval Game Report. This is a battle report from Chris, one of our club members, who put on a game there last Wednesday with some of the other guys. Even though I wasn't present I thought it was an excellent write-up and just wanted to share it here:. 8220;Malta Convoy” 1942. Last Wednesday evening, Dave G, Paul H and myself re-fought a typical Malta convoy set in 1942, using 1:3000th ships and 1:600th aircraft. Paul commanded the British convoy. This c...

Blood, Fire and Death: August 2015

http://whippedraw.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, 9 August 2015. Battle of Evesham Festival 2015 and Participation Game. Thanks to Dan at Wargames Illustrated, our Club (The Sons of Simon De Montfort - https:/ www.facebook.com/SonsOfSimonDeMontfort. It was a brilliant chance to introduce Wargaming to people who had perhaps never experienced it before, and whilst packing away on Sunday I smiled and expressed the idea that there would probably be people years from now saying "I played my first Wargame at the Battle of Evesham Festival! View my com...

Blood, Fire and Death: Carry on Up the Khyber - 15mm Northwest Frontier

http://whippedraw.blogspot.com/2015/06/carry-on-up-khyber-15mm-northwest.html

Thursday, 25 June 2015. Carry on Up the Khyber - 15mm Northwest Frontier. We used the rather excellent Battles for Empire rules again for this Colonial jaunt. Set in 1888 it was a factual scenario pitting a British force comprising of an Irish regiment and several Indian and Sikh ones, against Pathan tribesmen. By this time the tribesmen across the river started firing and again revealed their position. Paul came up tops with the dice rolling and cut down an entire company of Indian troops. After...About...

Blood, Fire and Death: April 2015

http://whippedraw.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, 26 April 2015. My very first Salute Day started with finishing a night-shift and then only getting two and a half hours sleep before jumping on the train with club members Chris and Rich. Somehow I managed to stay awake for the journey and Chris' navigational skills helped in getting us across London to the Excel Centre fifteen minutes before opening time. On the buying front I did go slightly overboard. I'd already pre-ordered a 15mm Sudan 1880's Mahdist Army from Peter Pig, and after collec...

Blood, Fire and Death: January 2015

http://whippedraw.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, 17 January 2015. Lion Rampant Scenario #2 - Burn the Town! The layout of the board is the same as the picture below (6ft by 4ft). This is looking North with the town placed on the Western side straddling a stream and woods toward the South. The road crosses Northeast to West. The aim of the attacker is simply to destroy the town whilst the defenders have to stop them. Retinues start anywhere within 6" of the table edge. So, anything like bidowers, Spearmen, Yeomen infantry, even foot sergeants ...

Ookami Tezin hääräämistä kaikesta Anime/Manga-Videopeli-Roolipeli-Figupeli-Internet viisikulmion sisältä ja varmaan vähän sen ulkopuoleltakin. Maanantai 18. elokuuta 2014. Viikkokatsaus #53: Koulu ja kaikkea muuta hässäkkää. Voi elämä ja niin ees päin. Maanantai 4. elokuuta 2014. Viikkokatsaus #52: X Wing. Vaikka olenkin päättänyt tämän pelin pelaamisen aloittaa niin lauantai saattaa hyvin kuvastua sanoilla hups. Demotimme Pelikaupalla kyseistä peliä ja päivän päätteeksi totesin että hyllyssä oli vie...
