Phalanx Wargames Show, June 2018

The club game for Phalanx this year was a demo of Chosen Men.

Game went well and had positive comments.

There was plenty of time also to look round the show.

As with other years a good selection of both traders and games.

The only down point as normal is the poor lighting.

Wargame Shows - Phalanx 2017
June, St.Helens

I organized the demo for our club this year so decided on the War 1812 in America.

This is a conflict I've always wanted to do and gave me an excuse to collect and paint the figures.

The battle I choose was a small one from the Niagara campaign ans was featured in Wargames Illustrated.

Battle of Cryslers farm was the battle - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Crysler%27s_Farm

There was only about 8 units a side, with the Americans suffering all day with poor command rolls, whilst the British had the dice on their side.

The battle went well and looked good on the day, with a overwhelming British victory.
