Unfortunately the trip to Warhammer World had to be cancelled. However Mark was able to arrange a trip to Janco in Barnsley at very short notice.

The details of the games we played are:
Gareth and Ash, Crimson Fists and Chaos Space Marines, with Pitched Battle and Annihiation. Gareth won.
Mark and Ash, Dark Angels and Chaos Space Marines, with Pitched Battle and Annihilation. Draw.
Paul and I, Imperial Guard and Tau, with Pitched Battle and Capture and Control. this game ended in a Draw.
Paul is one of the fairest players I have met, which made this game and the entire trip more than thoroughly enjoyable.

On Tuesday 7 September 2010 Dan and I visited Warrington Warlords wargames club in Warrington. The club meeting was very well attended Warhammer 40 000 was the only game being played on this night, as a two player campaign was starting. The campaign had been organised by Andy Bate using some of the rules for Planetary Empires, Battle Missions and another clubs campaign information which Andy had found on the web. Entrants needed to team up with another player with the same army, each contributing 750 points, to enter, Paul and Dan joined forces with their Eldar armines and their game was a draw. Steven (Norton) and I entered our Tau armies and played Mark and his sons Space Marines. Steven won the dice role and we chose to be the defenders, a Tau Battle Mission was selected, Fighting Withdraw and several enjoyable game turns followed, which resulted in Steven and I comming first. After the game ended the result was recorded and experience points added up, I chose additional equipment for my Shas'O. Dan and I thoroughly enjoyed our games and intend to be at next months club meeting to continue to play in the campaign. I took several photographs of the variety of scenery available for inspiration, as we are intending to start making scenery for our club.

Luke and I, Death Guard Chaos Space Marines and Tau, with Pitched Battle and Annihilation, My Tau did well at shooting but not a combat, this resulted in Luke winning before his army reached my table edge, which my Tau had stayed close to throughout the game.

After post game talks and a tidy up Dan, John and I had a photograph taken with Paul, Greg and Saul from Warrington Warlords (the photograph should be published soon).
