Maori Wars - Based on Ruapekapeka 1846

In this first game, set in the 1840s, the British, spearheaded by the 58th Foot, assaulted the well constructed and expertly defended Pa. The attack met stubborn Maori resistance and failed to break into the sophisticated Pa fortifications. Maori placed in ambush also proved to be a menace on the flanks. 

Rules used were amended Muskets and Tomahawks. The figures are all Empress Miniatures.

Napoleonics - The Spanish make their debut

In their much awaited debut, the historically derided Spanish make their debut at the club. They had to face a series of assaults from French line infantry in attack column formation. The Spaniards used their favourable uphill deployment to break up the French advance with cannon fire and well aimed musketry.
