Diceni This Weekend

For those of you not aware (where have you been hiding ?) this Sunday, 7th April 2013 Diceni is running at the Forum in Norwich. It is the inaugural show for Aftermath Wargaming Club and is shaping up to be a real doozy. JAG shall be there as well as a host of other games clubs and traders and some very cool Cosplay people. Check out the site at http://www.diceni.co.uk.

Hope to see you all there.

International Tabletop Day...

So I've returned from Tabletop Nations hosting of International Tabletop Day and what a great day it was too. Apart from us guys at JAG, running Dystopian Wars, Bushido, SAGA and Carnevale, there were loads of other participation games going on. Star Wars, Dreadball, Aeronautica Imperalis, Carcasonne, Warmachine, and Spartacus to name but a few. Plenty of old friends like Rid from Fanplasticlittlemen , and loads of new faces too came along and enjoyed playing games all day.

If you want to see some pictures and videos of the day then pop over to Beasts of War.

Good fun, good company and well worth doing again next year.

Hope to see you all there.

An epic tale

So myself and Rear Admiral Lee took the the high seas the other night to play a game of Dystopian Wars. It was a naval encounter with tiny fliers only and it proved to be a real tough time for the British fleet.

The fleets face off as Rear Admiral Lee checks the weather report in the Channel.

First blood to the French as a cruiser goes down to the combined power of the French cruisers and frigates.

Meanwhile on the other flank the British fliers advance only to be met by the French Ack Ack (I did warn him lol)

At this stage Martin realised that he might have manoeuvred himself badly as his battleship was stuck.

With the hull points starting to rack up the French closed in for the kill and destroyed the rest of the British fleet.

A great evening of gaming with two nicely balanced forces. The dice were very kind to me on this outing.

Dystopian Wars - Vive La France

OK so I know a lot of people have been playing this for a while now but I finally succumbed and got the French Starter Fleet, which of course meant I had to go buy the Dreadnought and then I saw the Aircraft Carrier and some nice cruisers to run interference for it. Anyway you get the idea. So here are some of the models completed and works in progress.
