Kickoff of the club Border Reivers campaign! The families have met to deal with some March Justice at the Truce Day. Unfortunately, some ill-advised ale consumption, poorly chosen words, and a gandermooner taking liberties with someone's kickie-wickie have made for a volatile situation. It's now every man for himself as the families start fisticuffs....

For the campaign, you need to construct your family, using an intiial fund of 150 crowns (points). You must have a leader, and no more than 3 heroes. Do not forget to include skilled characters (except for the Envoy, Assistant, and Lacky). Leaders and Heroes will have a campaign casualty mechanism which may allow them to survive an encounter, but your soldiers and skilled characters are fodder and will always perish if lost in a game, and thus will need to be replaced. Use the family roster (DM me if you don't have it) to track your family. For the game, we'll play at 50 points. No mounted characters.

Don't be a lubberwort and miss out on the campaign - there's still time to get some border reivers painted up and join in the fun!!!

French and British meet at a tiny frontier village to control the food from the harvest. Using Muskets & Tomahawks II. 8 players max.

WWI air combat using Blue Max miniatures rules. Players that haven't played before are encouraged to arrive early so they can get a flying lesson before the bullets start flying.

If you have 1/144 scale planes feel free to bring your own, but I have plenty of planes and everything needed to play.

With any luck we might be able to get two scenarios in.

To continue in the tradition of the western and pirate games, wear a bit of aviator costume and get a free re-roll.

Summon your Warband - Dragon Rampant returns to SDHMWG on an open gaming night! Using Dan Mersey’s Dragon Rampant rules, modified by club/house rules discussed prior to play, use your 30(ish) points of Dwarves, Orcs, Fishmen, Dragons, time-traveling men in butternut (pretty much ANYTHING can be used with a good backstory in the game, if you haven’t figured it out by now) to take on your opponent and their warband.

A Cruel Seas game involving an attack on a Nazi submarine base, including a tied-in commando raid!!!

Based on the Saint Nazaire raid of March 1942, where a British amphibious attack was undertaken by Royal Navy and Commandos against the large dry dock at Saint Nazaire, in German occupied France. “Chariot” was the codename of the combined operation. The French harbor was in fact an important logistic point for the German Kriegsmarine in the Atlantic. The raid was conducted by some destroyers and by a motor launches flotilla that provide the transport duties of British Commandos. The operation was successful done and the dry dock was damaged and unusable until the end of the war.

Hernan Cortes, having scuttled his fleet at Vera Cruz, survived a tenuous engagement with the Tlaxcalans, and massacring the Cholula leadership, now proceeds on to Tenochtitlan to meet the Aztec Emperor, Moctezuma. Having rebuffed attempts by Moctezuma to bribe him, Cortes continues forward. Moctezuma, fearful that Cortes is the divine envoy of Quetzlcatal, prophesied to return in the ‘One Reed’ year of 1519, surreptitiously sends warriors out to ambush the Spaniards and their tubes that spit fire. Will the indomitable Cortes force his way through the ambush to march on Tenochtitlan, or will Moctezuma exact an early revenge????

What a Tanker! is an easy to play game where each player controls one tank and, through use of dice and their “dashboard” attempts to destroy as many enemy vehicles as possible while keeping their own tank alive.
