Weekly wargames rhythm

The last few weeks have been a little light on the 'gaming front, as other aspects of life took precedence. However things have just started to settle back into their more usual rhythm. Last week I took part n another DBA evening at Keith's where 7 of us played a series of DBA games. I was a little too preoccupied to take any photos. You can find Keith's account of the evening here.

This week I took part in the play testing a new scenario for Adrian and Jon's next Volley and Bayonet scenario book: Seneffe, 1674. A wagon load of gold, used as bait by the Prince of Orange in order to bring the French army to battle, must be driven off the board. A very cool scenario, something very different from the usual game as forces entered the board and the battle escalated. The figures are Adrian's beautiful 15mm Dutch and French.

The following evening four of us got together to play some 24 point Hordes of the Things (HotT) games.

All in all, a nice way to ease back into the weekly 'gaming rhythm.
