It saddens me to let you know that Ian Taylor (2nd from right) passed away peacefully at his home this morning surrounded by his family. Ian was an integral member of the East Neuk Irregulars and together we put on public participation games at many a Scottish wargames show. You may have enjoyed his banter, his handiwork and if you’re a trader, his business over the years. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace brother.
My local wargaming group will be running a Rhodesian Bush War public participation game tomorrow at TARGE using a customized version of Crossfire. If you’re in the area do pop along for a game!
Well who’da thunk it? My local wargaming group, the East Neuk Irregulars, won best participation table at Targe 2016 Wargames Show in Kirriemuir on the weekend. WOOHOO! 🙂
Our game was “Britain’s Secret War” and featured the SAS in Indonesia (1962-66), trekking through the jungle to a landing zone after completing a mission… or is it just beginning?
We created our own rules for the game and it allowed players to get straight in to the action and get a game played within 15 minutes. Every game was different and there were some great dramatic moments! I wish I could tell you more but it’s all incredibly hush hush you understand.
Targe was hosted by Kirriemuir Wargames Club and was a great day out. Many thanks to all the players who “stepped up to the table” in more ways than one.
Bye for now, I best get back to my hot tub and champagne! 🙂
