Game night at the club

Hi again,

Well this week I went to the club and played a fun game that takes place during the GNW somewhere in Swedish occupied Norway. we used a set of rules called Musket Mayhem- large scale skirmish rules that are being developed by a few members of our club.

Here are some pictures of the game, there will be a write up and an AAR from Jesper later this week or early next. I will post a link to his post once it is up.

It was a fun game and it moved quick!

Have a good weekend!

I was very happy to see it on display.

GNW Campaign game

Well on Monday we had a club meeting and then we had some time to play the first game of our clubs Great Northern War Campaign. 

Each player controlled a single unit, most painted by the person who controlled the unit in the battle.

The Russians were played by Soren.  He did a good job of making it a hard fight.  The game was very good and the Swedish pushed hard.

We were able to coordinate our Infantry and Cavalry attacks so that we were eventually able to push the Russians back and the end of the battle saw a fight to kill the Russian Artillery unit that was giving everyone a hard time and survived multiple attacks from infantry and cavalry. 

Eventually the Gun crew was killed off and the game was over. 

Enjoy and I hope you enjoy the pictures.
