Good evening all,
I recently moved to Cambridge and am keen to get involved in a gaming club here. I haven't been part of a club since I left Aberystwyth University a few years ago. There I mainly played boardgames after my enthusiasm for Games Workshop anything palled, but I'm up for playing whatever these days. If you all wouldn't mind, I'd very much like to stick my head 'round the door next Monday and say hello.
As to my immediate interests where I might have something to contribute, I have the following projects in mind for this year:
Black Powder (or similar musket-era gaming): 20mm, currently putting together French, Russian and British forces for the Crimean war and would be interested in anything 1815-1914. Also anything else musket era, or 20th century in principle.
G.O.B.S: Has anyone tried this (free, homebrew) starship wargaming ruleset? I've been scratchbuilding starfleets for about six months and wanted to take 'em for a test run. If anybody else has a good ruleset they'd like to suggest I'd love to play it, though.
Skirmish 28mm (sci-fi): I've been building up a set of non-GW science fiction miniatures as well and was looking for a sci-fi skirmish ruleset to try them out (I have some homebrew rules of my own but these having proved unsatisfying I was planning to try out some of Nordic Weasel's offerings... unless anyone has any good ideas?)
Skirmish 28mm (20th century): I have some Anglo-Irish War (1919-22) miniatures from musketeer and was thinking of playing a few games with them this year as well. As above, I have tried out some (somewhat more satisfying) homebrew rules for this period but I am looking to try out something more professional this year, possibly Osprey's interwar revolution rules.
As you may guess I'm not what you might call a power gamer but I am up for more or less anything - board games I particularly enjoy, I've been very interested to see some of my old favourites like Pandemic mentioned while I've been lurking on these boards. I look forward to meeting you all and hope I can add something to the club. Thanks for having me.
