The local annual gaming convention was held last weekend, "Leadapolooza" as my wife puts it, and I committed (was committed?) to all three days.
The following is a picture report
 |
| I played Wellington in this scaled down (in number of units rather than their size) game of Waterloo. All (well, most...) of the figures are plastics from the collection of Malcolm who came over from Victoria to put on this beautiful game using Black Powder rules. The Allied forces won (or they would have had my head....to paraphrase the movie 'Waterloo' quote, of course) | |
|
 |
| The masses of French around La Belle Alliance. French initiative rolls were apparently quite bad and could not get their attacks to move forward. |
|
 |
| The Waterloo tabletop looking west to east. The scale of the deployments and area of the table was just right to give the effect of the battle. |
 |
| Colin's Darkest Africa game |
 |
| Jim's British vs lizards (what?!) using a colonial rule set! |
 |
| Stephen's 20mm WW2 game (he is the one measuring) |
 |
| Lisa's Waagh race. Most of the vehicles are converted plastic toy Humvees(!) And, yes, I have one; a nice done Orc rust-bucket I am proud to say, armed with heavy bolter and flamethrower! Commitment conflict prevent me from joining this game. |
 |
| Finally, on Sunday I joined a club game favorite in the Canvas Eagles air game using 1:72 scale WW1 models. Here is the Red Baron chasing my Snoopy creation. It, of course, uses the Sopwith Camel characteristics. The board is a Hotz Mat with crater holes |
