The Worthing and Bognor Regis wargames groups put on a re-fight of the Battle of Pinkie, using the DBR rules from Wargames Research Group. This batle was actually fought on 10 September 1547 between the Scots underthe Earl of Huntly and the English under the Protector Somerset. The Scots crossed the Esk and attacked the English lines. They were initially successful but were fired upon by English warships in the bay and thrown into confusion by a charge of cavalry. In the end they fled from the field with heavy losses and Somerst went on to occupy Edinburgh.
The re-fight went much the same way as the actual battle. The picture below shows one of the three scratch-built model ships made by Bob O'Brien for the game.
Dave Barnes was running a Si-Fi game based on Hammers Slammers, Leslie Bielby-Tipping and friends were running a participation game of AK47 Republic (published by Peter Pig) and there were several tables with Necromunda and Warhammer games.
