This is our “Not the 5th Anniversary Game” (in fact it’s the sixth anniversary of the commencement of the campaign, but we forgot to put on a 5th Anniversary Game last year) so we hope we can welcome back anyone who has taken part in the campaign over the last few years, or anyone who wants to become involved at what promises to be a critical juncture for the future of HM Government in AVBCW Herefordshire! Please contact me if you’d like more details.

Possible Tournament?

Hi everyone. I’ve been contacted by the Dice and Decks gaming club in Ross-on-Wye, who have mooted the idea of a tournament day in aid of charity.

Would this be something you’d be interested in – either as an individual or at a club level?

Is there potential (and indeed enough interested parties) to field a team to represent the club and/or Hereford?

Please let me know your thoughts!

Herefordshire Boardgamers Charity Day

Me and my mate Giles represented the Hereford Wargames Club at the Herefordshire Boardgamers Club charity day last Saturday by putting on a Frostgrave game.

It was great fun, so here’s a little write-up of how things transpired – http://frostgravery.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/fee-fi-fo-fum.html

Herefordshire Board Gamers Events

I’ve added the regular meet-up schedule for the Herefordshire Board Gamers to the gaming events calendar.

I’ve also added the next two Board Game all-dayers. All being well I’ll be attending the September day with some Frostgrave stuff.

Everyone is welcome to pop in!

Flames of War Photos

Alan has sent me some great photos from the recent Flames of War game.

A German force was trying to hold open an escape road for their retreating forces in the face of a massive Allied attack trying to close it.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

As for the result; the Germans just about managed to hold the road long enough for their army to escape. But it was in doubt up to the last move, so an exciting game.

Coming Soon – Chickamauga

THE NEXT CLUB BIG GAME

The next ‘ big’ game at Hereford Wargames Club will be an Amercian Civil War battle using Fire and Fury Rules .

We will play the first day of the battle of Chickamauga, which took place in Georgia on September 19th 1863 between the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Gen. Braxton Bragg and the Union Army of the Cumberland under Gen. William Rosecrans.

Hostilities will commence at 10.00 a.m. on Wednesday 21st June with an all-day game at The Swan, and will continue on subsequent Tuesday evening meetings until game end.

Anyone interested please contact Alan on 01981-540697 or at aandrmorrison@yahoo.com.

Lucky Lucky 13! Herefordshire Board Gamers 1st Birthday Bash!

Here’s a message from our chums at the Herefordshire Board Gamers:-

There’s a Facebook page for the event (6 July at 18:30–23:30 at the Imperial) at https://www.facebook.com/events/443495249376261

Warhammer Ogre Army for sale

A gaming pal of mine has emailed me with the following:-

My pal Neil is looking to sell his Ogre army. Some of you will remember seeing it at the multi-table Warhammer game we did in Burley Gate a few years ago.

There’s getting on for 2500 points fully painted to a standard I’d be happy with (3 characters, 31 ogres, 4 ogre cavalry, an Ironblaster and a few more models) plus some unfinished stuff.

I estimate it would cost £300 now just to buy the painted models new, but he’s open to offers.

I can sort you out with pictures if anyone is seriously interested.

If anyone is tempted, please contact me and I’ll pass your details on.
