Vietnaaaahm! Dave O'Brien and Peter Nicholson - ripped off sleeves, torn down shorts, the shades, the headbands. OK, I've gone too far. Peter could use a headband right now but Dave, what would you do with yours? No suggestions thanks. I seem to remember in the last Vietnam game that my elite ranger...

Colin Jack and Dave O'Brien will take us back to the 1920s/1930s on the flying carpet of their collective mind. Their tenuous grip on reality is likely to stretch our minds too.

With only the November Borodino game to go this year a number of topics were selected for 2013 in the pub last night. I believe that they are March 2013 Back of Beyond, Colin and Dave June 2013 Vietnam, Dave and Peter November 2013 1690, Barry All of the meetings will be in the Guide Hall, Kirriemui...

Readers will be getiing fed up hearing about another excellent weekend but it was another excellent weekend. Thanks again to Adrian and Barry for running the game so smoothly. I was pretty chuffed on Saturday to win three and draw one against Barry but on Saturday it all went pear-shaped for me with...

That was another excellent weekend wargame fought in the Wild ,Wild West – Kiriemuir. Many thanks to Colin and Peter N for all of the work they put into a well organised and smooth running game. The highlight for me was the payback on the Apachees for treachery even if it was expected. It was goodby...

Gentlemen, can we assemble at the hall at 7.00pm for what should be a relatively quick setup. Peter, are you able to get down then or later?

All guns to be left at the door, knives too, unless you're plannin' on shavin', or if you've got beans to eat or warts to cut or ...........

Yes Dave, these are the dates we agreed. All of the 2012 dates were booked some time ago and posted shortly after that.

The brave soldiers of V Corps are beginning to amass. OK straggle in. A few battalions are in hand with many more to follow and they're going to bring their pals with the long pointy sticks. I might even try to read something about this battle before we fight it.

Belated thanks to all who organised the game. A measure of the success was that we overran by an hour and no-one was complaining. It was riveting to the end. At least my special forces were well and truly riveted. Incidentally, what was special about these guys apart from dying before they landed? O...

TARGE 2011 is on Saturday 12th November in Websters High School, Kirriemuir. This is the 25th annual show run by the Kirriemuir Wargames Club, the seventh as TARGE and the third in our new venue. The show has expanded this year with an additional hall and the dedicated, adjacent Bring and Buy room n...

Ross, thanks for that. That's the range I've been looking for. Now, does anyone know if they are available in Britain? I'm also planning to add some of the recent 1st Corps Persians into the mix of Foundry, Old Glory and other figures in hand. As an aside, but still on mix and match, between the Fou...

Peter/Colin, I have nothing specifically Vietnam but did make rather a lot of the "aquarium on a CD" type jungle pieces. Would they be useful or are you aiming for scale 150 feet trees? Could some palm trees be incorporated along jungle edges and if so I'll get on with basing up a selection of these...

I have Macedonians, Thracians and Scythians "comin' oot ma lugs" and the Persians are now the subject of my baleful gaze. With 30,000 cavalry at one battle the plastic Persian cavalry cannot be ignored when building armies at a 1:20 ratio. That's 1500 figures so the Thracian (100) and Scythian (150)...

Now gentlemen - stow the handbags. I've just read Angus' report and it seemed fair and generally accurate, almost to the point of being restrained. It was a bit shocking for Angus to find a brigade of the meandering Turks deploying directly behind his retreating forces, ready to move to ocupy that a...
