What a fantastic year of gaming I have had. 84 miniatures games and 5 board games – by far
and away the busiest year for a very very long time.
This has included playing games at 17 different places – although obviously
most at the Falkirk club I also visited
Washington, Dunbarton and Grimsby and played a round of the Scottish Impetus
circuit at the Dunfirmline club
Games played at shows were at Vapnartak, Salute, Claymore and Targe
This year we got involved in putting games on for the public at the
National Museum of Scotland, National Museum of Flight, Kinneal estate (Falkirk’s
Big Roman Week) and the Culloden Visitor Centre.
Last but not least were games with Richard in Scone, Tim in Mid Calder,
a game at Frank’s shop (Worlds at War) in Craighalls and even some games at
home with a couple of visits from Brian.
The games at the Falkirk club included three Sunday games sessions, two
of which were Impetus competitions and the third a joint event with the Society
of Twentieth Century Wargamers. We of course also hosted the Carronade show
which continues to go from strength to strength.
The 84 miniature games were spread over 30 different rule sets and all
the board games were different.
I have had an absolute blast gaming in 2013.
All this activity has been at the expense of longer term projects and
painting. However both the Mordhiem and
Longstreet campaigns have been excellent and I have also enjoyed taking part in
3 Dux Britanniarum campaigns as well.
The blog has gone pretty well, the only downside being that it can
gobble up more time than I would really like it to.
I will post up my plans for 2014 in a few days time but 2013 will be a
very hard year to beat!
