BLAM 2019

Good Morning All

This time last week I was recovering from the effects of a rather wonderful weekend of wargaming, rugby and beer.

Of course, I am talking about the annual wargames convention held in my local pub. For the fifth year in a row I have been priviliged to help organise a smallish event of around 25 avid gamers and members of the lead adventure forum to push figures and roll dice for three three days.

Rather obligingly the pub screened all the quarter final rugby games so nobody had to miss out on the sports either.

The following photos give a snapshot of the games on play - thank you to some folks on the forum for allowing me to pinch some.

Colonial Wars - An Afghan Army

More news on my British Colonial Wars - now that the Sudan & Zulu Wars are covered it seems a shame not to move East into Afghanistan....;-)

I decided that my Sudan Brits will form the backbone of the Colonial Forces so I needed some Afghans...

As far as I can tell (and from scouring the internet) there are four compatible ranges out there. These include Perry, Old Glory and Artizan Miniatures (the latter range is carried by North Star Games). The last range is Foundry but given their price I decided to leave these well alone

So what did I do...

I bought every single figure I could lay my hand on including 12 tribal horse and an artillery piece

The total force consists of

3 Command Stand stands
8 units of Infantry (each unit 16 strong)
1 Gun
1 unit of Cavalry

A total of 150 figures

To be frank I don't know when these are going to come out to play but its nice knowing that they are done

More soon...

BLAM 2015

So BLAM 2015 has now happened....

Met some great new people and caught up with a number of old friends. Plenty of beer (too much on Friday !), lots of games, and an event that went relatively smoothly.

Went out with the camera over the three days and took some pictures - they are not brilliant as the light in the room was awful and I discovered that the lens was misbehaving itself.

A big thank you to all the games hosts, the staff of the Berrylands Pub and to all the participants for a wonderful weekend. If you want to learn more about this event head over to the Lead Adventure Forum.
