Missed Out

While away on holiday I missed another War and Conquest gaming weekend in Newark, I actually thought I would motor down yesterday for the day but after 1,000 miles in the Highlands I decided another six hour round trip was a trip too far.

I have seen scores of pictures of the event and, despite the small numbers it was another successful two days of gaming. Also at the moment it would seem there will indeed be another weekend in November for which I have already cleared my calender. Looking at the pictures I see that over the last wee while some players have started using massed archery, if on target this can be quite devastating, if on the other hand you fall out with the dice gods or the unit has to move it is less so. It would seem though that I now need more archers to always have that choice with three of my armies, it never ends.

I am travelling again this weekend down to Jenny's in Somerset for my own WAC weekend, Phil is organising the games. The Twelfth hopefully will be enforcing civilisation on the Celts and Germans while the next day the Patricians will be trying to maintain the Empire in the West.

So, without more ado here are some pictures from the two days battling.
