Bolt Action also made another appearance at the club, with a couple of nicely modelled British and American forces.
The main event of the day was the Leipzig refight. Fought over three tables, and using almost all of Brett and Kendall's collections with some other models drafted in, it was an impressive sight. The Allies (Brett, Andrew D, Mike, and Kendall) defeated the French (Stu, Allan, Philip, and Kit). Andrew H did all the organising and also pushed around some figures to keep the games going.

Mike and Robbie were in the Flames of War late war competition, coming 2nd and 3rd respectivly out of field of 24 competitors. They came back with a good haul of Battlefront roads and rivers amongst their prizes.
Other events at NatCon included Warhammer Fantasy Battle (18 players), 40K (11), Warmachine (22) and 25mm DBMM (10). There were also some Malifaux games, and demos of Dux Bellorum, 25mm modern skirmish, and 25mm Malburians.
The Best Painted Army in the Napoleonics competition was Keith Marshall's 1812 French, painted by Andrew Hunter. The prize was awarded by the votes of all the players in the competition.
The Napoleonics competition was in one of the side rooms at the convention, shared with the 40K players. They had some impressive terrain, and some 40K missions also seemed quite suitable for Napoleonics ("The Emperor's Will!")
Two of the most impressive Flames of War armies - the German armoured train, and the Warsaw uprising.
Club meeting 24 March 2013
Just a couple of games at the club today. Alan and Rob had a Warhammer game, using Brettonians and Empire. Both armies and terrain were looking good!

Club meeting 27 January 2013
It was a particularly quiet day at the club today. Just the one game, with two players and four onlookers. Andrew and Brett were trying out some of the campaign rules for the Napoleonics campaign planned for later this year. Andrew was using an Italian army against Brett's 1814 French. Andrew's flank march came on nice and early, saw off the French counter attack with little effort, and picked up a 30-10 win for almost no losses. Finishing the game with two fresh cavalry units, the Italians would have got a good pursuit in the campaign game.
CanCon 26-27 January 2013
Good luck to our club members over in Canberra for The Worlds. Steve is playing in FOW, and Stu is in the DBR competition.
Club meeting 13 January 2013
Welcome back to the club for the New Year! The club hall was a typically hot summer day, with a good turnout at this meeting.
DBMM 15mm. Steve got a comprehensive victory against Philip (Late Romans vs Mithridatic). Both sides had a cavalry wing with a lot of Kn, who didn't do much to each other. Meanwhile the Roman Bd and Wb did all the hard work to get the victory.
FOG-N. Three games of Napoleonics today.
Andrew D (Russian Guard) played Michael (British Peninsular)
Andrew H (Italians) beat Kit (1815 British) in a 1000 point game. Shortly after the British army broke we remembered the rule about Guards not testing for seeing non-Guards rout.
Keith was trying out his newly painted French army against Brett's Austrians. It did rather well, winning the game for the loss of only 1 point from spent cavalry.
