First game of WAB in the new room


Moors v WOTR

The two armies line up with the Moors getting the first turn, and only scoring a few kills from their archers




 
 
Blanket (Tim) getting advice from General Monty
 

 
Black guard waiting for the charge


 
My fast Cav doing their normal trick of hitting and running


 
My heavy knight (they have never been lost in a game UNTIL TODAY thanks Murray)
 

 
2 units of warriors moving slowly toward the enemy shooting 30 shots every time

 
It's all been too much for Monty

 
My Cav break the archers 


 
After the game going back and forth the mighty Moors luck ran out (I let murray take over half way through so it was not my fault)
Black Powder

SYW

We had our second game of black powder using Murray's SYW figures

All units where small and we only had 3 divisions each.


 
My first division holding the farm


More troops arrive to help defend the farm


After standing and taking the charges, the 3rd divison takes it to the enemy



 
In the end the farm is still in my hands although both armies have taken heavey losses


The games room is nearly finished

 
Even room for our dogs to spread out

 
one of the tables setup for a quick game of WAB

 
This picture shows how much space there is to store stuff under the tables (might add doors one day), all the tables are on wheels and can be moved around the room by one person.




 
Still need to sort the figures out but there is only enough space for a few of my armies
