Taiping Rebellion - Heavenly Brethren Commit Holy Massacre

The Imperial forces of the Qing Dynasty were unable to hold back the hordes of indoctrinated God Worshipers of the Heavenly Kingdom, who tore through the Imperial matchlock men to seize the defended town. Once inside the town, the holy Brethren indulged in a terrible cleansing of the heretics by massacring every man, women, child, cat, dog and even mouse. Severed heads rolled down cobbled streets like bowling balls in a bowling alley; decapitated carcases were piled 2 storeys high in the market square, all in the name of the Heavenly Peaceful Kingdom.

Saxons Fail to Throw Off the Norman Yoke

On Monday we had a fun game of Normans vs Saxons using Osprey's Lion Rampant rules. The Norman invaders got the better of the Saxons, despite their mounted knights making several ill-advised 'ferocious' (compulsory) charges into the woods to attack some Saxon skirmishers. In the end, the day was actually carried by the dismounted Norman knights, who managed to break a Saxon shield wall in and around the village.

Various Monday Night Games

WWIII - Post Nuclear Strike

Some photos of a game played a few years ago, which assumes that NATO and Warsaw Pact forces continue to fight even after a nuclear strike.

Orktober Fest!

Once again we meet the sophisticated pretty boys of the Galaxy in the month dedicated to their history and culture - 'Orktober'.

In this scenario, a force of Adeptus Mechanicus has been alerted to unwanted Ork activities in the wastes of some God-forsaken planet, and they have been sent to rid the locality of the scourge of this Ork infestation.

Unfortunately, the Orks were on guard and met the Ad Mech with such fanaticism that they completely destroyed the Martian odd-balls unit by unit.

Some say this is 'science fiction', although we contend that this is SCIENCE FACT, as this encounter actually did happen, albeit 38,000 year in the future (!!).
