Historical Gaming at the Abyss-July 2, 2023

 

Last Sunday we had a gathering of 6 of our Club members at the Abyss for demo games of Congo and Muskets & Tomahawks. Graham was testing out his Congo scenario with Korrigan and Iannick which is being played at Historicon next week and I was demo-ing M&T for Gabriel and Camille to introduce them to a French Indian War ruleset. Both games went well, here are a few photos.

Muskets & Tomahawks

British vs Canadiens

500 points

Wilderness Setting

Battle Set up both sides 

Canadien Victory 

Lesson learned: maybe not a good idea to use a river on the long axis of the table as it prevented a good demo of the spotting rules.

Congo

3 columns

3 player game

Hopefully we will have another get together at the Abyss in the latter part of July. 

Games Day at the Abyss-June 4, 2023

 

We had our first games day a week ago and I would judge it a success. We now have 21 members to our club having attracted quite a bit of attention. Rather than using Facebook, we have decided to use Discord which seems to be working well for us. Here are some photos that were taken of the event, I may add some as more come in.

It was a lot of fun!

Club de Jeux de Figurines Historiques de Montréal

Our tiny historical wargaming club in Montreal are having an inaugural event at the Abyss this coming Sunday. We are putting on a game of Bolt Action and Chain of Command as well as 4 games of SAGA. At the same time we will be holding an instructional class for painting historical figures.

Wish us luck and if interested in coming here is the sign up link.

For the painting event, figures will be supplied but bring your own paint and brushes.

For the gaming events, all materials will be supplied, but if really keen, I am sure we can set up an extra table if you bring your own figures.
