How went 2020?

Not at all as planned 17 face to face games up until March After that 70 zoom games and 2 PBEM 89 was not a bad score for games played considering. The zoom games were all run by Tim and were all Wars of the Roses battles. We have developed a set of rules titled Test of Resolve - Wars of the Roses which have been in development for most of the year and are now getting close to compeltion. More to follow on the rules and associated scenarios. It has been a huge amount of fun developing them and playing many of the historical battles to playtest them. It has pretty much kept me sane this crazy year. Not much else to report. Vapnartak was a good day out and my only show of 2020. The flea market style bring and buy is much improved but for the first time ever I did not manage to get a game which was a shame. Some painting progress but that tailed off in the second half of the year. 2021 plans to follow

    1. Zoom is a lot better than not gaming. It has been a lot of work for Tim who has to set everything out, work the cameras and move the troops. There is also a bit of extra fog of war as it is not alwys 100% clear what is going on particularly with the Wars of the Roses when troop types are the same on both sides.
      WE are pleased with the way the rules seem to be working - once again Tim is doing most of the heavy lifting.
