There's a few of us at the Phoenix Wargames Club that are looking to give it a try, if you're interested in a game. The club meets Monday evenings at Woodlands Methodist Church.

Toy cars for #Gaslands arrived. Looking forward to getting stuck into the rulebook this weekend. Anyone in Glasgow already playing?

Some more recent wargames and board games. A great game of Black Seas at Glasgow & District Wargaming Society (GDWS) in Shawlands. It was put on for visitors to the club. The Thing: The Boardgame, Psycho Killer, and Skull King at Lanarkshire Gamers in Blantyre.

Light to medium, I reckon. The basic activations and spending command points are quite straightforward. Morale and some of the details - unit characteristics, losing Eagles, etc probably mean it's not lightweight. The combat tables are clever, and the way an army reaches its break point is tense.

It had a really good atmosphere - I would definitely go back another year, with more arranged. Sorry to hear about your event.
