Look for more news on the convention in coming months.
Start thinking about those special game projects now, the 41st Trumpeter Salute Convention has been confirmed for April 4, 5 and 6, 2014 at the Bonsor Centre in Burnaby.
Look for more news on the convention in coming months. Finally ready to go, Battles for Empire II by Chris Leach of the White Rock Gamers is now available on pdf and cd. The rules allow you to play conflicts such as the Zulu war and Sudan campaign and any other Colonial setting from 1870-1914.
The rules offer an activation and movement system similar to Fire and Fury. Importantly, the scenarios offer dramatic gameplay in which Imperial firepower doesn't always carry the day. A tip of our deerstalker cap to Cameron. His finely painted Baker Street faction from his own blog (Cameron's Tiny Little Men) has been featured on the official site of the new In Her Majesty's Name rule set. Look for more games from the strange alternate world inspired by Conan Doyle and Jules Verne during our regular game nights.
Cameron regularly runs modern Force on Force games at the club but lately has been painting up several of the exotic international IHMN factions. These include Imperial Germans with arc weapons (and zombie jaegers!) and a band of London Bobbies lead by a pipe-smoking consulting detective. A note to members to look for the latest issue of Wargames Soldiers & Strategy. The current issue focuses on Samurai gaming with lavish photography of figures from Kingsford Miniatures from our own Dave Pyatt.
Dave had the opportunity to meet well-traveled WGSS editor Guy Bowers at the Enfilade convention in Olympia, Wa. for a colorful samurai game based on the Musket and Tomahawk rules. Welcome to the new website for our Trumpeter's society. The goal is to provide info for newcomers to our hobby plus news and features for jaded veteran gamers.
