WORLARD 6 and STAR WARS DAY

May the 4th, Star Wars Day (or bad pun day!), was the date for the return of the club's annual WorLard event; a day dedicated to games from the TooFatLardies (or associated Reisswitz  Press).

Our last WorLard day was in 2019 and this was our first return since the pandemic. Although, slightly scaled down from previous years, the event was very well supported by club members. Six games were on offer, all put on by club members or, in one case, an ex-member. All the games were played twice, with morning and afternoon sessions.

I fully intended to take some photos but, as usual, became so involved umpiring my own game that I failed in this. I did, however, take snaps of all the games during the morning  set up. 

Somewhere on a table far far away. 15mm Star Wars (Chain of Command).

10mm Normandy (O Group)

Allied armour in difficulty (O Group)

1/144 scale, B17 bomber box under attack (Bag the Hun)

54mm Carlist Wars (Sharp Practice)

54mm Crimean War (Sharp Practice)

28mm American Civil War (Pickett's Charge)

The day was a very relaxed affair, with post game beers in a local pub and a splendid curry evening in Durham centre.

What more could one want? Let's hope for another event in 2025. I'm already planning my next game just in case.
