Congrats Mark

A Big Congratulations must go out to a fellow Goulburn Valiant Stormer and damn fine painter Mark Soley for his efforts in the Games Workshop 2011 Australian Golden Demon Awards. Mark has always been a cracking painter and has really improved out of sight in the last 8 years. One day he may return from the dark side!!!!!!

ACW Williamsburg Club Game

Goulburn Valiant Stormers played a 28mm ACW game at the weekend club meet using Johnny Reb III rules. The game was straight out of the scenario book based on the Williamsburg Peninsula campaign. The game consisted of a flank attack by two Union brigades on a redoubt in which there was a large gun. It was a great opportunity for Greg B to place his recently finished 8" Columbiad emplacement. The game lasted nine turns out of a possible fifteen turns and was a resounding success for the Union who broke the Confederate line and forced to the Rebs to retreat in disorder..........another loss for the confederacy!

MOAB 2011 Wild West

Well MOAB has come and gone again this year, the biggest convention in Sydney usually is really busy but this year it was very quite, I would say about 40% down on numbers through the doors, good old GW decided to hold games day on the Saturday so I suspect that restricted a large number of entrants in 40k, Warhammer, Bloodbowl and FOW competition. Also the Australian Rugby League, Australian Rules, Rugby Union World Cup and the Football (Soccer)Grand finals all on the same weekend would not of helped.

Chris Lloyd and me decided to run a Wild West participation game, both days were well attended with some funny outcomes for some the games. A big thanks to those who joined in and to Nathan for taking the pics (as I forget my camera). My daughter is making some signage for the Sarissa Precision buildings I probably will make them available as a PDF at some stage in the future. The Rules we used were "Gutshot" which are simple and easy for new players to pick up.
