This week’s games at the club (last Wednesday).
Mark, Chris and Paul were playing what looked like a homebrew sci-fi skirmish game.
Mark, Findlay, Dave and Andy W were playing a double DBMM game (Later Sargonid Assyrian vs Early Hoplite Greek).
Andy B and Colin were playing a 25mm Second World War skirmish game. Didn’t catch the name of the rules though.
SoA Battle Day 2013 – The Battle of Chalons
Army lists for the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields, or Chalons, as fought at the Society of Ancients Battle Day 2013.
I decided that since there was very little in the way of detailed historical information for the battle, to just play it as a 9 contingent get-as-much-lead-on-the-table type battle, with the additional interest of some per-command victory conditions, rather than per-army victory conditions.
The 9 contingents were nominally divided into two sides – the Romand side and the Hunnic side, although they might have as much interest in the defeat of the contingents on their own side as on the other side.
The Roman contingents were:
- Aetius, Magister Militum, Last of the Romans, Dux et Patricius.
- Theodoric, King of the Visigoths.
- Merovech, King of the Franks.
- Gondoic, King of the Burgundians.
- Sangiban, King of the Alans.
The Hunnic contingents were:
- Attila, the Scourge of God, Great Khan of the Huns.
- Ellac, Prince of the Huns.
- Valamir, King of the Ostrogoths.
- Ardaric, King of the Gepids.
The complete orders of battle are available after the break.

Welcome…
… to the new Pinner Wargames Website. I have just migrated it from Joomla to WordPress to make it easier to maintain and hopefully to encourage me (and others) to post here a bit more frequently and give the impression that we are all still alive (which we are).
Anyway, to remind people, we meet every Wednesday evening from 7pm to 11pm, in the scout hut behind the church of St Edmund the King in Northwood Hills, HA6 1QS.
Everyone welcome – come along and join in.
