Woking Wargames Day 2022

 A couple of weeks back (how time flies) I went along to the Woking Wargames Day organised by Mike Lewis of the Little Wars Revisited Group, there were four games in play throughout the day and here is what they looked like:


Mike Lewis put on the Battle of Quatre Bras using Neil Thomas' Napoleonic rules.


The Prussians take the crossroads..........


................and hold it to win the game.


Anthony Morton brought along his Romans and Ancient Germans, as seen on this blog recently.


We didn't use these German cavalry last time we played so I was very pleased to get this shot of them.


Pat (sorry didn't get your last name) treated us to his Anglo-Normans game using the Lion Rampant rules, which seem to be universally popular with 54mm wargamers.


The figures used are 54mm metal castings from Irregular Miniatures.


Nice to see all the different shield designs.


The fourth game of the day was Eric Kemp's Italian Revolution skirmish using Eric's own simple fast play rules.


All the figures were conversions made from just about every American Civil War range you can think of.


Garibaldi's Red Shirts get to grips with Papal Zouaves, Eric's conversions are always a joy to behold.


The home made rules were very easy to assimilate and gave a realistic outcome despite Eric's legendary ability to throw a 1.


I can't remember which Regiment these chaps represent but they were a welcome addition to the Papal forces.


That's all for another year folk's, I missed the last two and am already looking for ward to the next one.

  3. The conversions in the Italian Revolution game are excellent! A wonderful job by Eric Kemp! I'm glad that you were able to attend Brian, perhaps we really can start to get back to normal!
