Battlegames

Battlegames, a worthy periodical - now featuring 100% more Conrad Kinch

The days have been just packed and sadly have left little time to devote to blogging. The house is emptier and cleaner than it was, though indoor plumbing and hot and cold running water are still rather further off than I'd like. This week, fingers crossed.

That said, the constant work (and it has been constant) was relieved by my birthday on Thursday and a Saturday spent gaming with Donogh and Steve. Steve was delayed due to the financial crisis, but Donogh and I played a few games of my Sahagun scenario and my adaption of Blasthof Bridge to the Command & Colours: Napoleonics rules. We tinkered with them a little, but they seem to work rather well and I shall hopefully post photos shortly. Steve also informed me at length about the sexist subtext of Peppa Pig.

We then moved on to Ambush Alley, playing Donoghs adaption of a tabletop teaser to Ospreys latest offering - sadly bedtime and the demands of domestic harmony determined that the game had to go unfinished.

Another highlight of the week was the arrival of my copy of Battlegames - which included an article I submitted some time ago. This pleased me greatly, so much so that I will probably get off my rear and write something else.

Damn you Renard...

We also meet Woodner, my sister in laws new dog, during a visit to my parents in laws. He's a very personable chap, so much so that I didn't have the heart to tell him that his mother had a moments flightiness with a fox.
