Disaster at Dunny-on-the-Pyddle
« on: 31 March 2012, 09:06:49 AM »
For the occasional wargamer who visits this site:
A few images from Thursday's ECW game here in GHQ are on my Blog. A taster picture~

Really nice looking game.  The great thing about wargaming is that, even if you lose, you've had fun, your little men get up to fight again and next time they might win!  lol

and remember: It's not about whether you win or lose, it's about whether I win or lose.  :D

Nice game indeed, and as Jimbibbly say, few things beat a table full of ECW/ACW/Napoleonics miniatures!

I'd agree with that sentiment entirely! What a shame there are n't more posts of that nature and fewer of all this half a dozen figure games.... :'(

But still way too much odd stuff with a few figures-and far too much zombie junk in my opinion.
