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. |
 |
| 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. |
|
| 2nd November 08 | Tremendous pair of WWI games put on by Keith. 1918 March with German storm troopers attacking and second, British attack in August 1918. |
