(What a Tanker: a bullish T34 closes on its prey)
This blog is a picture set entitled ‘we also played’ …
It is getting towards the end of the year and I have blogged mostly about my own projects and about the big games and shows.
There’s a lot more to wargaming in Middle England than the big stuff – I wargame mid-week 3 times a month … a lot of that isn’t modern … and a lot of the modern stuff goes otherwise unreported: so here’s a look at what else we did.
(Classic AK47: Peter Pig T55s … one already wrecked)
AK47 by RFCM/Peter Pig. In addition to my ‘Minus 47’ arctic game, we played a ‘straight’ version because it is still immensely entertaining (and because one of our newcomers had never played it – needless to say he ‘got it’)

Richard’s Russian Ripping Yarns …
We also enjoyed another of Richard’s occasional series of ripping yarns set in Revolutionary Russia (with spies, Rolls Royces, damsels in distress and secret missions) … this time climaxing with heroes and villains leaping into moving cars …

Bayonets and Ideology
(BAIT … RFCM’s Spanish Civil War variant of the PBI style game – more of Trebian’s toys)
Cod Wars … a first time at this odd post war North Atlantic sideshow.
(Cod Wars … a group of trawlers peacefully going about their business)
(HMS Leander to the rescue)
As a youngster I had an Airfix Leander but no game that it fitted into. No wonder I liked this game.
NQM … a perennial favourite … I often only blog about the big games rather than the stocking fillers. Inevitably, of course, a lot of the smaller games are test runs ahead of the grand Operational Games …

What a Tanker
It was good to have a go at this currently highly thought-of TFL game. Individual tamk combat. I likened it to ‘Saga for tanks’. It has lots of nice things in it. It has other things in it that I would have fixed if it was my game idea.
Good game but I had expected to be more impressed than I was.
