Ayton 2022 – 10th Anniversary Game

May 2, 2022 by Count Belisarius

May 2020 was supposed to be the 10th Annual Ayton game with assorted denizens of the LAW Forum. Unfortunately, the plague got in the way and scuppered the plans. As it did for May 2021. We did manage a gathering in November 2021 but a few regulars were absent (Covid still a big worry) and … Read more

Framlingham 2018 Day 2

October 15, 2018 by Count Belisarius

After the Russian/Allied setback on Day 1 we decided we all wanted to play another game on the Sunday so we jiggled the terrain and had the British/Allied forces pushing out and attacking the Russian forces. We drew lots for opponents but kept the same forces as the day before. I drew Iain (Essex Boy) … Read more
