Correction. Captured French cannons. Never fired and only abandoned once!

An extra cannon and howitzer should come in handy for the Allies.

Don't forget tonight is our first Virtual Club Game Night.
Get yourself signed up on Tabletopia and BoardGameArena to be ready to go.
7pm onwards, as usual.

Yet another game where the lingering question was, "Just what kind of situation would Grenadiers actually be effective in?"
-
I'll check it out

Tabletopia has Railroad Ink, which is a good filler
-
I think the way we manage this in the club should be fine. Play a couple of fillers early on before getting stuck into anything bigger. So we'd probably be beyond 7.30 before kicking off longer games.

While the Discord server appears quite useful it has a bunch of gamification built into it and some incompatibilities with certain platforms.
I've recently been made aware of Zoom video conferencing software.
It's free for groups of up to 100 users for up to 40 mins, and during the crisis it's free beyond that too.
Includes screen sharing, chat and a shared whiteboard.
I've used it with a friend tonight and it's excellent. I think this would be the ideal tool for a group to use while playing a game. It could also facilitate remote role-playing sessions.

...until you stab me in the back!

This allows chat, voice and video calls, and screen sharing.
Everything we need for game night (excepts the games, obviously)

Yeah, I've downloaded Vassal - it's still running. It used to be a bit fiddly so I'll see if it's any better these days. I saw Tabletop simulator on Steam but it looked to me like we'd have to build anything we wanted to play from scratch (or buy an existing game module).
I'll have a look into Discord.

Hi guys,
I'm looking into a few online platforms to allow us to have a virtual Friday Night Gaming.
Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in.
So far I've been looking at Tabletopia, but if there are alternatives that allow us to create our own player groups then let me know and I'll look into them too. Any suggestions for a group voice/video chat service would be useful too.
Al is also having a look around and is exploring getting some Blood Bowl set up on fumbble.

Our forum software has the capability to let us display trophies. While we've not used this so far it's something that might be worthwhile for particular achievements, either wthin the club or in games. So I was thinking things like:
Campaign medals
Tournament winners
General abuse to be directed at a given user
For an idea of trophy size and what it could look like see Steve's Gotta Catch 'Em All trophy.
Thoughts?

Picking up a selection of potential Bowdells. Think the chap on the left is looking like a likely candidate.
