Club Classics




I haven't been to the club much this year due to a clash with family activities on a Tuesday night but I'm hoping to put that right as far as I can this Autumn. The sprog who is now 17 has started to go to play Warhamster with his college friend, so I've been giving him a lift up to the club and dropping him off, before nipping back to pick up my daughter from ballet class. However, I've now been able to re-arrange things so that I can stay on at the club for a game, not every week but at least once or twice a month.

The sprog is keen on trying out What a Tanker!, so that's definitely on the cards but I also would like to set up a game of Fistful of Lead for him, as it's a great game and I haven't played a scenario for ages. I have quite a lot of new terrain and buildings for it as well, which I haven't used before, so there's a real incentive to dig out the figures, dust them off and set up a gunfight or two. In fact, I really could do with another posse to supplement my lawmen and banditos, if I can find the time to squeeze half a dozen figures into the schedule.

Another classic game I really enjoy is AK47 and it would be perfect as an introduction to proper wargaming, if you can call it that, rather than Warhammer 40K. I have enough units to put together two armies as well, although there's always room for more including some natty technicals that I constructed from diecast toy trucks ages ago but didn't get round to painting. In fact, they'd make a really good addition to what I've already got and shouldn't take too long to finish off. It's always a fun game and it really is about time I played another AK47 bash.

I can't make it to the club this week but I've pencilled in next week for a possible game, so I'll have to make up my mind which of the club classics to do!

  1. Jim, Your group looking to do an AK47 campaign? I'm working on a generic campaign module, but specifically with AK47 in mind. I could use play testers. Thank you.
