janewilliams20I said I'd update afterwards, I didn't. Well, I did, but not here.
Painting figures up to the last minute, then dropped them (and all the bits I'm delivering to other people) in the car Saturday morning, drove south.
A1, M25, A10, then the North Circular, with traffic gradually getting worse. What is it with London? They mark a road on a map as a main, straight, dual-carriageway road from A to B - then make it a 30 limit! That was the A10. I mean, just look at that map. Does the A10 (that's the green one coming down the RHS) look like a slow road? North Circular I never even got out of first gear.
Ah well, once there it was good. Muswell Hill Golf Club, wargaming in what I think is usually their dining room. A campaign day, where you bid for troops, go on magical quests for power, negotiate with allies (and enemies), and fight battles, all set in my favourite fantasy universe, Glorantha. This was the second one I've been to, Glory Day '05 got me back into wargaming. As before I spent lots of time looking at other people's miniatures and going "ooh!"
You can see some of them here.
Details of the campaign, battle and so on won't mean a lot unless you're heavily into Glorantha (those who are, and who know me, will appreciate the fact that I got Kallyr's faction), but I did do an in-character writeup of the day. Summary, and a very surprising one: I won.
Then down the pub (Maid of Muswell, does a wonderful range of beers - but I was driving!) and on to an Indian. Good food, good company, generally a great evening. And the traffic had cleared, so I was home just before pumpkin hour.
