If you read my previous blog post and followed the link to
GHQ, you will have read about the Very British Civil War game we started last Monday, under much improved weather conditions I made the journey over again today to finish off the game. I am pleased to say that after a tentative start the government troops lead by Lord Rawnsley were able to take the socialist armoured train in the name of the King. Click on the GHQ link above for further details and pictures of the game.
Below are selection that I took during the game...........................................
Next game here at OHQ is scheduled for the 8/9th January, a late 1918 action using Chain of Command with Great War modifications from the 2014 Christmas special.
Once again I wish you all a splendid Christmas.

Wow, impressive looking game - beautiful painted figures and terrain; thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Utgaard. It was a finely balanced and edge of the seat game and a pleasure to be able to use Dave's splendid toys.
DeleteThanks for posting your pictures of our game in GHQ Phil! It worked well I thought, despite the outcome!
ReplyDeleteA fine game indeed, with the outcome never clear until the final two turns.
DeleteExcellent stuff......the photos are brilliant Phil and give a real sense of the game. I sense a slight change in style which personally I like and I always like playing the baddies go the government !
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, I tried to get down to table level as much as possible, leaving the grand view shots to Dave.
DeleteLooks fantastic, have a great Christmas Phil
ReplyDeleteThank you Rodger, have a fine one too.
DeleteSplendid vehicles, terrain and figures...SOunds like a beautiful game!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, I am blessed to be able to play with such wonderful toys with such fine company.
DeleteVery kind words Phil, thanks!
DeleteWonderful looking game, good AAR!
ReplyDeleteWhat scale rail trackers are you using?
Thank you Cpt. D. It is Hornby H0/OO, the train is no an exact fit, but it's near enough. After all we play soldiers, not trains :~)
DeleteExcellent looking table!! It does make me think about trying the period out.
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thank you Christopher. It is certainly interesting and quirky, although we draw the line at cricketers, footballers and Morris dancers :~)
DeleteAnother winner, great looking game.
ReplyDeleteGames in GHQ are always a joy, not sure about the ones here though.
ReplyDeleteOh, the ones here are just wonderful, don’t be modest!
DeleteWonderful looking game! The train is a real beauty and something I need for my table at some point too.
ReplyDeleteThe train is indeed a little gem, a fine gift to Dave from Colin Ashton.
ReplyDeleteJolly good stuff old boy...
ReplyDeleteBut as I said to Dave...it’s a shame the villains had to win...;-)
All the best. Aly
Well the regulars certainly endeavoured to try and make sure they didn't.
ReplyDeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul.
DeleteLovely looking game, can't go wrong with an armoured train!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain, toy trains and soldiers, what's not to like.
