Slightly Familiar Sci Fi

Same skirmish rules as last week but updated by their author, Jim, to a Sci Fi setting, with Keiron supplying a couple of squads of Space Marines and Tau from his 40K collection. Matt and Keiron each took charge of a section of Tau, Tel commanded the section of Marines and accompanying big stompy thing. Jim acted as the referee due to his intimate knowledge of the rules.

Similar terrain to last week with clumps of vegetation breaking up line of sight, plenty of rough ground providing cover, and a river section on one side of the table.This turned out to be Matt's hidey hole, from which he never moved all game.

Warmonger 09

Popped my head in on Saturday to see how the 40K guys were doing in the now regular tournament\grudge match with the Manchester Area Wargames Society (MAWS) the Barrow leg of which is organised by Phil.

Managed to catch the final round of the three round tournament. Martin was the scorer tapping away into the spreadsheet as each result came in. The FW trailing right from the first round and failing to noticeably close the gap in the second and third.

It ended as a clean sweep for MAWS with the top 4 individual spots going to them. The only silverware for the FW was Keiron managing to win the fair play award, presumably because his forces died well. In another shock result Baldy didn't finish last!

Found the video creation mode in Picassa so decided to have a play around. Quality not as good as normal pictures, I could improve it but would eat up Picassa directory space.
