A week ago Tuesday we played a game based on a fictitious river in China during the late 1800's. The game had a British flotilla made up of a powerful gunboat and steam launches sailing up river to rescue the British commissioner, his family, a missionary, his wife and a Chinese official who are besieged by the local Chinese warlord and his pirate allies.<br />
The warlord and pirates needed to capture all or any of the officials to hold them for ransom.<br />
In addition to these adversaries there was a fort on the river occupied by Imperial troops who could be swayed to join the warlord if they could be bribed. This would be rolled for each turn with a 1 getting the troops and their gun to join the warlord and pirates.<br />
And here we have the pictures that are worth a thousand words.<br />

We had four gamers on this occasion. Tom, Wendell, Bill and myself.<br />
Bill and Wendell were the British while Tom and I were the warlord and pirates.<br />
The game ended with mixed results as the British were able to rescue the civilians but did lose the large gun boat in the process.<br />
It was a fun game with a lot of action.<br />
Take care and good gaming,<br />

Saturday morning at Adepticon my oldest son Gregory and his very creative wife Rebecca surprised me by coming to see my game. In addition to this most welcome and pleasant visit Rebecca had brought me a gift. She made a Magnificent Seven dice tower with their laser cutter. Words cannot describe my pleasure nor the dice tower so I have posted pictures for all to see.<br />

Well I got through my two games at Adepticon and the players enjoyed themselves. I also had a great time since all of my key points for running the games were met.<br />
1. The rules were simple but conveyed the correct feeling of the scenario.<br />
2. The setting was pleasant to look at and play on giving just enough detail without making it difficult to play.<br />
3. It was fun. Everyone could relate to the characters because the movie was well viewed and enjoyed by most of the players.<br />
4. It played fast. The first game lasted 2.5 hours and came to a decisive conclusion and the second game lasted 3.25 hours and also played to a decisive conclusion.<br />
5. The rules were easy to understand. After the first 2 or 3 turns the players were playing the game pretty much on their own. <br />
<br />
So here are the few pictures I was able to take during the chaos of running a game.<br />
By the way, the gamer's goals were to do better than their movie counterparts did. In the movie the Seven killed the bandits leaders (Calvera and Santos) and drove the remaining bandits out of the town. The bandits killed 4 of the Seven and wounded one other.<br />
Game #1 had 8 players.<br />

So I only have three pictures from the first game and I will blame this on my camera which decided to act up and not turn on. Fortunately it was corrected and worked for the second game.<br />
This game went very quickly with the Seven being assisted by a bad die roll that delayed the bandits response to them being in the village. After seven turns the Seven had driven the bandits from the town ( a failed morale roll after loosing 22 of their 32 figures in the game) and killed their leader Calvera.<br />
The bandits killed one of the seven ( Bernardo) and wounded 3 others (Britt, Chico and Vin).<br />
Victory to the Seven!!<br />
Everyone had a good time and were all very good sports congratulating each other with many handshakes around the table. I then presented prizes that were supplied by the convention staff. These were very beautiful terrain pieces that could be used in many periods, historical and fantasy. Thanks and praise to Adepticon for these.<br />
<br />
On to the second game.<br />
<br />
Here while 11 gamers had signed up for the game only 6 showed up. This was a great disappointment for me but did not seem to bother those that played in the game. Another good point about this scenario is it can readily be scaled to the number of players from 2 to 11. So I divided the characters between 3 players for the Seven and 3 players for the Bandits.<br />
Below are some shots from the game after we were into it as the set up can be seen above.<br />
<br />
Early on in the game Chris climbed up on a roof for a clear field of fire ans Chico got into the bell tower.<br />

During an extended shoot out behind the buildings the villagers in building #7 were finally set free allowing them to take revenge on the bandits.<br />

This gamed played out to the full 12 turns where on turn 12 the bandits finally failed their morale and fled the village.<br />
So the casualties were both bandit leaders dead (Calvera and Santos).<br />
our of the Seven dead (Lee, Britt, Bernardo and Harry) and two wounded (Chico and Vin).<br />
Almost an exact replication of the movie with one additional character wounded (Chico).<br />
It was very close to being a draw and it would have been a bandit victory if they had not fled from the village. So I declared a marginal victory for the Seven.<br />
Again there much good sportsmanship, congratulations, thanks and handshakes all around.<br />
<br />
All the players from both games were outstanding gentlemen and I would be proud to host and game with any of them at any time. Thanks to Adepticon for their support and mostly to the players who put the best and final touch on the game.<br />
<br />
Good gaming to all and look for this game at Little Wars on Friday and Saturday.<br />

Wow, I am almost at the end of this project. Here are the pictures at this point. All that is left to do is to create some scatter terrain, finish painting the bandit Hombres and print up some rules. We will be play testing this over the next two or three months and I will post some of the results as we move on.<br />
So here are the pictures.<br />

One of my friends and a fellow Lead Adventure Forum member FifteensAway suggested I add some vertical terrain. So you can see I have added some hills in the appropriate areas.<br />

Hello again.<br />
I am almost done fabricating the village for the Magnificent Seven game. Below are pictures of the complete village to date. Note the white circle in the pictures, this is where the tree will go. The tree is the only necessary piece of terrain to put together. Now to finish the remaining figures and the rules of play. The rules will be based on Warhammer Historical rules but modified for this game.<br />

Hi all,<br />
Well I am getting closer to finishing the village for the Magnificent Seven game. Down to creating the cemetery, more walls and a large dead tree with a circular brick wall around it. So here are the new pictures.<br />

Hi all,<br />
Here is my latest building for my Magnificent Seven game. There are two more major structures, the cemetery, some odd shaped storage structures, the fountain, dead tree and many fences. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.<br />

Have finally completed the third building for the Magnificent Seven game I am putting together. Hoping to have it all complete and ready to run for Little Wars 2019 and Adepticon 2019.<br />
This building took longer than expected and I am not quite pleased with it. The tiled roof is too tall and I might decide to rework it later if I have time. There are 6 more buildings to complete plus number of walls, fences, storage structures and the cemetery. So here is #3.<br />

Greetings to my gentile readers. It is with much excitement that I report on my weekend at Little Wars 2018. The real purpose of my attendance was to assist the wife of one of our fallen but never forgotten comrades Mike Adams. As reported previously in this blog Mike passed much too early in this life. We (Mary Adams, Wendell, My wife Helen and myself) were engaged in selling Mike's massive collection of figures many that have been seen in reports of ancient games on these humble pages.<br />
We did homage to Mike in the selling of many of his figures to other gamers who will keep them in the fight for many years to come. But for me the greatest pleasure was derived from meeting many of the 'Greats' in war gaming!<br />
I met and spoke with the following heroes. Note that these are not listed in any particular order.<br />
Howard Whitehouse<br />
Todd Fisher<br />
Herb Gunt<br />
Kevin Cabai<br />
Jim Roots<br />
John Butler<br />
Tony Adams<br />
Erik Merchant <br />
And of course many others that my feeble mind can not bring to the surface at this minute but that I will remember some night in the middle of my sleep!<br />
What a wonderful weekend I had.<br />
Many, many thanks to all of the people who purchased Mike's figures and books. May those colorful and brave warriors bring you glory and victory in your games!<br />
Thanks again,<br />

I have finished the second building for the Magnificent Seven game I am putting together. This one is the arched building. I am not putting in the long and elaborate play by play on how I built this building as it is a straight forward build.<br />

Next building up will be the Cantina. As an aside I am building these to look very much like the buildings In the movie but will also do double duty in other western games and maybe even some Colonial actions.<br />
As always comments and questions are welcome.<br />
Good gaming,<br />

Hello to everyone. This is my first attempt to explain a building project that was recently completed. The model is a 25/28mm version of the church from the great 'The Magnificent Seven' movie released n 1960 by MGM and staring a host of actors including Yul Brenner, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn and many others.<br />
<br />
This project took about 3 weeks to complete in my spare time. While I am retired I probably spent about 12 to 15 man hours working on it. This does not include time spent waiting for paint and or glue to dry. The material is 1/4" foamcore, bits and pieces of wood from craft stores, some jewelry making bits also from the craft store, craft paint, wall patch and some other odds and ends to be explained in the write up. cost of all materials is about $15.00 or less.<br />
<br />
Now on with the project.<br />
I first did some research on the appearance and size of the actual church. Using the internet and searching for the movie and then displaying images I was able to find a number of useful pictures. I also watched the movie (for about the tenth time) to gain more information on details and size.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the photos used. Please note that these are copyright protected by MGM.<br />

I gathered my materials and started by taking some graph paper to draw out the front of the church to full scale.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Rl3SbxkefSsFaU9PxVGQvR1W-w3PWwTWfHp-vUyO0hFXltzNHo3742lisc5IUymtiW68756iGZ4bIRk9PzsGN842rjG5DAaSvmFm9gp3W8FuzG0l8bEpavb2r-QpTDR2wXyTRI1HxQ/s1600/IMG_20180311_182939754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Rl3SbxkefSsFaU9PxVGQvR1W-w3PWwTWfHp-vUyO0hFXltzNHo3742lisc5IUymtiW68756iGZ4bIRk9PzsGN842rjG5DAaSvmFm9gp3W8FuzG0l8bEpavb2r-QpTDR2wXyTRI1HxQ/s400/IMG_20180311_182939754.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
This gave me a a good blueprint to work from and the height and width of the finished model.<br />
<br />
Next I cut a piece of the foamcore to to the same overall dimensions of the model and taped a copy of my drawing to it allowing me to have a pattern to cut the curved portions of the church easily.<br />

At this point I put apiece of carbon/tracing paper under my drawing so I can transfer the church details onto the foamcore. I also cut the sides and back of the church.<br />

After cutting these walls I used an X-ACTO tool shown below to cut overlaps to give me square corners.<br />

Before tracing the details onto the foamcore I cut and laid out the details for the front of the church. These were cut from scraps of wood accumulated over the years and also from doll house trim purchased from craft stores.<br />

The circular bit at the top of the church was left off in the finished model as it was too fidley to attach properly. Note that the crosses seen n the picture are also from craft store jewelry bits.<br />

I must also confess that this project was made easier through the use of a mini table saw that allowed me to get near identical cuts for the many pieces that went into the facade of the church.<br />
Below is a picture of the walls cut to size.<br />

Next I cut the stairs for in front of the church. These were then hot glued to each other with the largest on the bottom and the smallest on top.<br />

Next I started to make the doors for the church. I used 3 coffee stirrers glued to a very thin piece of balsa wood. I held them down with some full craft paints to prevent warping until it dried.</div>

<span id="goog_660487331"></span><span id="goog_660487332"></span>Next comes the floor. I traced the area inside the walls onto a piece of foamcore and cut it out. I added 3 layers of scrap material to the bottom of the floor to raise the floor to the same level as the top of the stairs as I intend to have the interior of the church finished.</div>

The bell tower was made in two parts. The main tower and the upper area that holds the bell itself.<br />

Below you can see the bits and pieces added to the upper tower roof starting to give it it's general shape and outline. These are MDF and parts of wood shapes from the craft store.<br />

Here you can see jewelry parts (also from the craft store) being used to add shape and pattern to the tower roof. Trim around the tower is cut from some doll house trim.</div>

Here I added the decorative trim around the upper edge of the church facade. This was again an item found in the craft store jewelry section and is cord used for making necklaces or bracelets. This was attached with the glue gun. In the background you can see the finished roof sections after being attached to their cardboard bases.<br />

Here I have added the trim to the top of the lower tower and have also cut away the top layer of cardboard from two sides of the bottom of the tower. This will be exposed brick where the stucco has fallen away.<br />

For the interior floor of the church I printed a stone pattern from my computer that I found on the internet. I glued this to the floor using a glue stick. I found that using a heavy application of this provides a fast and secure way to glue paper to paper.<br />

Next you can see the rafters Made from more foamcore scrap and attached to the roof panels. You can also note that one is at a strange angle. Poor form on my part but it will not be seen or effect the finished model. <br />

Here is the church with a coat of paint and two 15mm figures mounted as statues. These will be smeared with a plaster mix to make them look weathered and disintegrated / aged. <br />

To make the surface look more like stucco and to mute the surface of the details and help them to look worn I used lightweight wall patch and water. Mixing them on a pallet and then painting the mixture on the exterior of the church and the tower.<br />

After painting the plaster mix on I very lightly sanded the area with 400 grit sandpaper to remove excess plaster.<br />

Please note the cross on the top of the tower, again from the craft store jewelry section. Also in the picture below you can see the doors in place and some wood pices in front of the window area above the doors.<br />

Here you can see the interior of the church. The walls were painted a light cream color. All the pictures were again downloaded from the internet. The cross on the wall is from the craft store wood pieces section.<br />

The pews, alter and interior doors are from coffee stirrers and bits of balsa wood stained with washes. Pictures were glued in place with the glue stick.<br />

So there you have it. The only thing missing is the bell in the tower which will be acquired and attached soon. Yet again from a craft store.<br />
I appreciate any comments on this project. Yet to come I will be building many if not all of the other buildings from the movie as well as some walls, well and crop storage. Figures are cleaned and waiting to be painted although I need a few more peons and bandit types.<br />
Take care and good gaming,<br />

Total of 14 figures as pictured. I believe these are Wargames Foundry figures. Spears are home made from brass wire. All but one shield patterns are hand painted.<br />
Would like to get $45.00 for the set plus postage - $7.00 - total $52.00. Paypal only.<br />

24 Conquistador figures. 23 are Ral Partha and 1 is Wargames Foundry. Average paint job. Hand made spears from brass wire. How about $30.00 postage paid in the Continental U.S. Paypal only.<br />

Hi all,<br />
I have completed the Crusader's camp for our 'To The Strongest' games. I am planning to build 4 more camps in the future. Two for the Crusaders and 2 for the Moslim armies but these will be smaller than my first two constructions.<br />
Without further ado - here are the pictures.<br />

Wow it has been way too long since my last post. I thought I would have more time to post since I retired but between catching up on tasks around the house and assisting my brother through an illness there has been little progress with my blog. On the brighter side I have managed to paint a fair number of figures since retiring. Below are pictures of my Muslim camp for 'To the Strongest'. Besides this I managed to paint the following figures:<br />
36 figures for AWI - 28mm<br />
10 vehicles for FOW - 15mm<br />
25 Wild West figures - 28mm<br />
2 wagons - 28mm<br />
10 mounted crusader knights - 28mm<br />
45 pilgrims for the crusades - 28mm<br />
6 pirates - 28mm<br />
plus a couple of odds and ends laying around for years unattended.<br />
<br />
So on with the show. These are Perry Brothers figures from their Crusades Muslims pack #MA18.<br />
I made the tent from paper towels soaked in a mixture of white glue and water. About a 50/50 mixture. This is based on a piece of plastic cut to fit the squares of my game mat for 'To the Strongest'. The posts holding up the tent are wood dowels glued into holes I drilled into the base. The texture for the camp base is made from sand, white glue, water and craft pain in a color called bleached sand. The various containers about the camp are more finds from the craft store. Miniature wood bowls filled with seeds, beads filled with colored plaster and some tiny baskets filled with odds and ends scrounged from artificial plants.<br />

Well, it has been a while since my last game and post but both should be more frequent in the future as I have RETIRED! Cheers, shouting and general celebration!<br />
<br />
So I gathered some of our regulars and we played another game using To The Strongest (God I like these rules). In the first week of retirement I made some game markers and chits to make it even easier for new players to get into the game.<br />

I made these for each unit in the game. We placed these directly behind the respective unit or on their base. As you can see all the information needed except what you need to hit is on the chit. We found these to help a great deal. <br />
I also made markers to indicate the command that each unit belongs to. These are color coded for rapid identification during the game.<br />

I converted some colorful wooden sticks acquired at Michael's into lance markers for the knights in our games. These items were found to be very helpful for all the players. </div>

The players were - Muslim - Wendell, Bill and Jamie - Crusaders - Jake and myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jake is Bill's son and this was his first full game with us. I must say that his grasp of the rules was rapid and concise. He played a great game and as the Crusader's leader we played to a draw as both sides had lost the same number of Victory points at the time we had to stop.</div>

Below are more pictures of the game in no particular order because sadly I became engrossed in the game and the chance of actually being on the winning side to fulfill my responsibility reporting this game. I will get better.</div>

I hope that this has provided a little bit of insight on how we are approaching To The Strongest. Many more reports to follow and a campaign if possable.</div>

Hi all - it has been a while since my last post. Our little group has been trying to run a variety of games to replace the summer battles Mike presented. It is still a challenge getting over his passing. But having said that we are pressing on and still enjoy our colorful hobby but miss Mikes quit wit and sharp humor.<br />
So on to the game. I believe that in a previous post I had mentioned that for many years I had wished to run games based on the Crusades. Having grown up with watching TV of the 50's and 60's with replays of movies from the 40's and 50's my imagination runs wild thinking about games that remind me of these fantastic shows. I could not decide on a set of rules until Simon Millers' 'To the Strongest' came out. They are perfect for my needs. The perfect amount of detail and quick play with innovative game play. Now I just had to get the rest of our group to be willing to play them.<br />
This game introduced a couple more members of our group their first play and a couple of us another play at them. We have the typical opponents - Crusaders and Muslims.<br />
The rules have you play on a grid laid out on the playing area. For our games I am using a large piece of tie died fleece material obtained at Jo Anne's Fabrics - total cost of $16.00 on sale. I marked off the grid using a brown Sharpie pen by placing a dot where the four corners meet. Unless you are aware of them they are very unobtrusive.<br />
I added some scrub and hills and away we went.<br />
Here are a series of pictures of the game. For this event the narrative is not so important as it was intended as a learning experience (My side lost - again). For the record though the players were Bill and Wendell vs. Jamie and myself.<br />

Yesterday we all gathered at Wendel's home to play a game that is completely outside our comfort zone. This was a modern game using the Osprey 'Black Ops' rules. I have to say that I like the uncertainty of the card activated play. It makes the game move along as well as being exciting and uncertain.<br />
The scenario was a rescue attempt by three separate groups trying to save a person of importance being held by a Somali like warlord and his minions.<br />
The players were our host Wendel, who ran the Warlord and his minions, Bill who was U.S Special Forces, Jamie who was members of the standing army for this war torn country and myself as an Italian counter terrorist force. Wow that was a long sentence.<br />
Her are a couple of pictures of the playing area. I did not take any others a s the game was very engrossing and exciting.<br />

You can see that Wendel has been engaged in a very large project having built all of the buildings from scratch. Well done!<br />
Each player entered from a different side of the table and none of us knew where the hostage was being held or where any troops were in the area. It was night time and everyone needed to roll for spotting. Noise played a big factor in being spotted and alerting the camp. If the hostage holders were successful in hearing us or spotting us they could the raise the alarm.<br />
The game play was great as it had a very Hollywood feel at the beginning where we could move about in the dark taking out sentries without raising the alarm yet we were not assured that this would not happen. For most of us shooting was very risky due to the great noise factor but my band were equipped with silencers and suppressors for our weapons giving my team a large advantage or so I thought.<br />
As you look at the second picture, my team entered on the right side across the river. Bill entered from the side by the bottom of the picture and Jamie came in by the upper left corner.<br />
We had to move about searching the buildings that were marked by poker chips that were numbered. Wendel had corresponding chips that indicated what was in the building if anything.<br />
So each group went about searching for the hostage and eliminating guards as we went from house to house. My group had a devil of a time trying to kill the terrorists even when we surprised them in their sleep at point blank range. My die rolls were terrible while Wendel displayed an amazing ability to roll 5's and 6's all day! The only thing that saved us was our near silent weapons.<br />
While I searched my area and found a few sleeping minions Bill working in his area found the main barracks and a large group of minions sleeping inside. To get into the building he went up on the roof area and entered through a second story tower. You can see this building in the lower right hand corner of the compound in the second picture.<br />
Meanwhile Jamie's team was working it's way into the center of the compound searching houses and eliminating guards. At this time a fortuitous event took place. While I was searching a building near the center of town I found the hostage, killed his guard and was ready to get him off the board to victory.<br />
Then all hell broke loose!<br />
While entering the barracks Bill's team opened fire on a couple of terrorists creating enough noise to set off the general alarm. The compound became a beehive of activity and none of it productive to my cause. All I wanted to do was sneak off the table!<br />
A general firefight broke out all over the compound with everyone's teams taking hits. I started looking like my team was in the shower room from the movie 'The Rock' and we were not the guys on the second floor.<br />
This was another likable part of the rules as now in an open fight everything moved quickly and it became very hazardous to anyone involved.<br />
Well to make a long story short I did not get the hostage out of the complex. I did manage to kill the<br />
Warlord but it would have been up to Bill or Jamie to get the hostage out. Sorry Jamie but my money would have been on Bill if the game went a bit longer as he had more team members left and was in a good position, but real life called and we decided to call the game at this point.<br />
So in conclusion I have to say I would recommend these rules for modern combat on a one to one level. We did not get bogged down in too much detail but there was more than enough to provide suspense and action.<br />
Take care and as always thanks for stopping by.<br />
Greg<br />
Oh yes I left out the part where I made a dastardly attempt to take out a couple of Jamie's team members who were in the path of my escape route. Sorry Jamie.</div>

Hello to my friends and guests.<br />
This is my first posting since our long time friend and fellow gamer Mike Adams has passed away. We never realized how much Mike has been missed. This untimely loss has left a huge whole in our group that will take a long time to close.<br />
So in memory of Mike we will from time to time play Ancient games in his memory. To this purpose we played the first game yesterday at Bill's house. The cast of characters was Bill and Wendel as the evil Persian empire and me as Alexander the Great. We have been gaming with Mike for over 35 years and thought it fitting for our first game to be just us, hoping that Mike was there in spirit.<br />
<br />
So Bill put together a game using Tactica rules that he made some special changes to. Most of these changes were not explained to the poor Alexander player until they unfolded or were stumbled upon.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of the initial set up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After the set up was complete came the first surprise. Bill says - Greg roll a die. I do this and get a 5. Ok he says, remove to medium infantry units from your army. So I think to myself will these come in as reinforcements or what? After I grudgingly remove the two units Bill says now roll another die. This time a 4 is rolled. Ok says Bill now remove one cavalry unit. Good grief! The Macedonians are outnumbered as it is and now we are removing all of these needed troops. So again I comply and choose a cavalry unit to remove. Well this damned strange but hay I want to roll dice and kick butt.<br />

The four pictures above show the first move from a couple of angles and each end. Both sides were being aggressive at this point. The Macedonians rushing to close into melee and the Persians trying to get into bow range.<br />

As you can see from above the cavalry is heavily engaged on each flank. In the center the Macedonians start to take some heavy losses to the archers. On the other hand the Macedonians are succeeding in the fight on the left flank and holding their own on the right.<br />

Above you can see that the cavalry on the Macedonian left is making inroads against the Persian right eventually taking out the cavalry and chariots clearing the way for a sweep and turning of the Persian right side. At the same time the Macedonians are still keeping the Persians at bay on their right flank.<br />
But the middle keeps getting shellacked in the middle from those endless swarms of arrows. Time now for another of the unpleasant surprises. Bill has modeled four units of Persian heavy infantry to represent them as they should be. A row of heavy infantry in front with 2 rows or archers behind them. Very pretty. So the new rule he created is that they get to fire over their intervening troops to fire salvos of arrows at the enemy 24 shots for 6's per unit - four units times 24 is 96 dice a turn for 6's. Good grief Mike show some mercy here and flip a die or two!<br />

Well the end is not pretty. Macedonian pike unis are fleeing the field having had enough of the stinging Persian arrows leaving in such numbers that victory was not possible for Alexander this day.<br />
Win to the Persians and congratulations to Wendel and Bill.<br />
In all fairness Bill did try to balance the game by weakening the Persian heavy infantry once the front rank was destroyed and there was a rule that if the Macedonians could kill Darius the Macedonians would win no matter the number of losses they suffered. Sadly this rule was not made clear until after we had called the game. Oh yes, I never did find out why I had to remove those troops.<br />
Here are a couple of pictures of the troops. <br />

So anyway we all had a great time getting together and remembering the fallen as old warriors tend to do along with bemoaning the state of the world and how much better it would be if we ran things.<br />
Mike I hope you enjoyed watching.Laughing at our crude attempts to match your humor and certainly matching your die rolls!<br />
Good gaming,<br />

Mike Adams passed away this morning from complications of a surgery he recently underwent.<br />Mike
was a great friend to many, myself included. His passion was 25/28mm
Ancients. Specifically early to middle Roman armies and Greek and
Macedonian armies.<br />Mike was always ready with a joke or quick
comeback and had a heart that was larger than life for his friends. We
have gamed in Mikes basement every summer for the past few years and
have enjoyed every game. <br />Mike is survived by his wife who has
wholeheartedly supported his hobby and passion. He also leaves behind a
group of gaming friends and acquaintances far too large to name. He will
be missed by many, especially by our little band of dice rollers who
will never find another like Mike.<br />Mike, I hope that you are rolling 6's in Heaven and if you think about it, send a few our way.<br />Greg</div>

My honored followers we had a very special game day at Mike's house yesterday. Mike and his wife Mary served us cake to celebrate Mike's birthday and the announcement of his well deserved retirement from the railroad. Mike has had a life long involvement with trains starting with building them and lately, repairing them. On top of all of this it was the last game our this years campaign season.<br />
<br />
Our cast of characters was, Mike, Wendel, Ken, Bill, Phil and myself. Unfortunately Phil was called away and could not participate. So we had Wendel, Bill and Ken as the Generals of Rome and Mike and I commanded Juba's warriors of North Africa.<br />
<br />
So here are some pictures of our initial set up.<br />
Below we have the army of Juba I. <br />

Juba's troops moved steadily towards the Roman main line while the Romans were using a wait and see tactic. This allowed the Romans to inflict as many casualties as possible with their formidable missile units before closing into melee. In addition, this also cuts down the amount of room on the table preventing any troops that would be able to flank their line from having much space to work in while also buying more time to inflict casualties.<br />
Way up at the top of the above picture you can see Mike and Ken having at it with Mike trying to thrash Ken's cavalry so as to obtain a clear shot at the Roman left flank. Meanwhile Wendel and I are having at it on the Roman right flank as Iattempt do gain an advantage also.<br />
The picture below shows Mikes success at crushing Ken's cavalry wetting up the chance to move on the Roman flank. Go Mike!! <br />
