Cotswold Wargaming Day 2022
Sunday and an early morning excursion down to Northleach in the Cotswolds and Keith Flint’s annual wargaming get together…. a great bunch of games many with a serious amount of lead on the table.
It’s a very relaxed affair with no traders or competition games, just a bunch of gamers playing a multitude of games for fun…. the hall has plenty of room, even if Keith had to source tables from elsewhere.
You can find full details here on Keith’s blog – KEITH’S WARGAMING BLOG (keefsblog.blogspot.com)
I am afraid I did not get around all the games and chat with all those present but here’s a selection of some of the games on offer.
The Nine Years War gets an outing…. so many cavalry, it had a real old school feel to it with the opposing forces on a wide frontage but so very close so units were straight into the action.
A fantastic looking AWI game, great figures, great terrain and rightly awarded the best terrain award. Using British Grenadier Rule set it really captured the feel of the period.
Nice to see the Cigar Box Mat’s up close, they really looked durable and flowed well over the hills, perfect if you were looking to take on major battles such as Leipzig shown above.
Great to see Spencer Smith Miniatures on display, so hardwearing due to their clean and simple design.
A cracking game from Steve aka the Wargaming addict with his Imagination forces of Prusskian army taking on that of the Ruthenians, the game had a lovely feel to it and got me seriously thinking about my own 6/10mm project for the FRW on a grand scale. You can read more of Steve’s day on his blog, well worth a follow.
Wargaming Addict: Cotswold Wargames Day 2022 (wwiiwargaming.blogspot.com)Meanwhile me and the gang put on a lite version of Kadesh using Infamy Infamy. More on that in a future post.
Sharing the room with the Farnborough Wargames Society who were also fielding an ancient Hittite force taking on the Yamhad/Syrian Kingdom 1615 BC. Quite the spectacle with so many chariots.
I have a serious case of chariot envy.
A great day out, great company, great chat and a close fought battle …. The downside I now have perhaps 3 more projects to think about…. thanks guys 🙂
