Club meeting 31 December 2017

We had a quiet club meeting on the last day of the year, but still got three tables up. Kendall and Rob played some 25mm Napoleonics with Songs of Drums and Shakos using British and Turks.

FOGN 2nd edition game

Now that the two recent Kings of War tournaments have finished, there are fewer KOW games at the club - just the one today, Rob (Nature) played Grant (Dwarfs)

There's a contingent of us going over to CanCon in 2018 to play FOG-Napoleonics 2nd edition, so we'll expect to see some more practice games in the next couple of months. There were a couple of games today: Andrew (Prussians and Russians) beat Brett (Austrians). Mike (Turks) beat Philip (Netherlands 1815)
In both game the defenders with Flexible Defence beat Frontal Assaults.
