TARGE 2017. SUMMARY AND PHOTOS.

Saturday saw my annual trip to Kirriemuir for Targe 2017. I scored some Middle Imperial Romans on the bring and buy, enough to provide the bulk of two DBA 3 armies. I had a great day meeting old friends and finding out about other's games. As usual, we had our traditional lunch at The Thrums Hotel. Dale and the club members did their usual great job. Roll on next year.  

Here are some photos from the day.

WINGS OF GLORY: SOLO RULES TRYOUT.

With the intention of playing a co-operative game of Wings of Glory in one of our future Thursday games, I gave the Solitaire rules a try.

The Sea Gladiator approaches the He111. Both planes manage to fire, with minor damage to both.

Close range attack. The Gladiator breaks off, heavily damaged the He111 caries on with minor damage.

The rules give a good solo game when using a single bomber. It will be interesting how they cope with  more than one fighter.
