A LONG WAY FROM MAMMA & PASTA

8th Army in Russia.

All is not what it seems for mopping-up operations!

I include a rule sheet which is the final version including modes suggested at the time.  Not big changes but a worthwhile new set now I believe.

Apologies for all those on Friday 13th who were expecting to get their copy of the Dispatches Sunday Supplement.  I simply ran out of copies.  So many people showed up at the club.  I will come with more on the 7th May

GAZALA - 15mm.

The game was a re-fight of the Allied attempt to break the siege of Tobruk.  Dozens of tanks and companies of infantry on a big table.  Again the genius behind this was Keith.  We very much appreciate his efforts on these big games.  A great day's gaming for everyone.

Jan 09
7th December 08 Society Competition day.  Each player played two games during the day.  The losses were converted to percentages with each player being awarded the percents he inflicted and had deducted the percents he lost.  By this means games of any period and any size could be accommodated.

There was lots of variety.  I think a great time was had by all.
