Iain Dickie (left) Editor of Miniature
Wargames used his Allied Army for the competition. here he
takes on Ian hard’s Austrians.
Paul Martin (left) a little rusty after
just one practice game in 5 years faces Bryan Horrocks with
Later Russians.
Andy Cross (right) was a late entrant after
somebody had to drop out at the last minute. It was
Andy’s first competition.
Mike Hayward (my original partner for the
bath SYW Doubles - when he could remember to changes his watch
to BST!), uses his magnificently painted Later Russians.
More Russians advance on a churchyard. Not
sure whose figures these are, but the church is mine; a nice
model from an unknown manufacturer. Anyone know who makes it?
Ian Hards (left) and Richard Hardy slug it
out on Sunday.
Paul Douglas is a great supporter of the
Seven Years War competitions. At Attack! he used his
Prussians. Surprisingly one of two Prussain armies to be
entered.
Simon Hinder kindly played substitute for
Iain Dickie on Saturday afternoon. Iain had to attend an
event to commemorate the ECW Battle of Roundway Down, in his
capacity as Secretary of the Battlefields Trust.
Bryan Horrock’s Allied and Richard
Hardy’s Austrians converge on a terrain objective. Bryan
had some incredible artillery fire to support his
infantry...but least said !
Seven Years War meets Star Wars!! Actor
Richard Le Parmentier, who played Admiral Motti in the
orginal Star Wars (the one Darth Vader throttled nthe Death
Star) presented the prizes to the winners. Here he warmly
greets overall winner Richard Hardy from Blackpool.
Nick Eavis (left) scored a creditable 46
points as did Ian Hards (centre) but had lost a game to Ian on
Sunday morning. Ian therefore came second and Richard Hardy
(right) was the overall winner with 58 points.
We all had a great weekend and will be
running the competition in 2003. However, there is still
Warfare held at the Rivermead Centre, Reading, in November to
play in. Watch the main page for more information or read
