David asked for the doubles results as you all had to shoot off early:
Paul & Emyr 4th place
Warren & Carl 23rd place
Darrell & David 65th
Steve & Julie 67th Place
Out of 104 teams entered.
We won 5 and drew 2, didn’t actually lose a single game, which is a rare occurance at a tournament for me.
Good to see you all there, best event GW run, maybe we should have our own Pheonix doubles tournament later in the year?
July 10, 2008 at 4:02 pm |
guys check out this link http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.9609
as it will take you to the events page for kelmars, click on the highlights link then on the war games link and we are there.
July 10, 2008 at 8:16 pm |
Darrell mine was a win against Liam. I played VC he played Chaos mortals list -hassle hassle!
July 11, 2008 at 12:39 pm |
Darrell,
My results for this week was a win for Henry’s Empire over my Wood Elves.
Actually you could probably have my results for next week, against Paul’s Kemhri, now as well if you want!
Not that I’m expecting to lose or anything you understand………….

guys; once the kelmarsh event is out of the way i will be organising a warhammer fantasy league. this will probably be 2000pts where everyone will play each other at least once, maybe twice and the eventual winner will receive the SIMON STURGESS MEMORIAL TROPHY. if enough players sign up then there will be 2 small leagues and the top 2 in each league will play off against each in the semi finals etc. this will be free entry but if you sign up then all i ask is that you play all your matches before the enf of november, as the trophy will be awarded at the AGM in december. one army per person. i will draw up a rule pack shortly. it may have some elements from the doubles / singles tournies in it to add a bit of spice but all games will be pitched battle format to keep it simple. let me know via this noticeboard if you want to sign up. games will start at the beginning of august.
July 19, 2008 at 8:42 pm |
well thats day one at kelmarsh over and an excellent day it was with several hundred visitors to our tent, which we were in on our own, awesome.
July 20, 2008 at 6:32 pm |
Well kelmarsh is over for this year guys, but what a success it was with well over ONE THOUSAND people in our tent over the two days, which we had to ourselves. and the excellent news is that we were praised by the organising lady for our efforts and have asked to return next year, which we aim to do bigger and better. so for those of you who couldn’t make it please try to come next year as it was a brilliant weekend. some of us are looking to stay over at teh site next year as there are lots of stuff going on in the evening. there will be a review on us in the september issue of Wargames Illustrated so look out for that. cheers to everyone who gave up their time and only 364 days to the next one and counting.
July 20, 2008 at 7:21 pm |
A thoroughly enjoyable if but a tad tiring weekend. Should be a fantastic experience for any would be wargaming table maestro next year! I’m already thinking up a new Ancients battle for then – I have three up to now!
A great turn out and for all those who are reading this that were at the Festival of History – as punters having a go – I really do hope that you return to see an even better bunch of wargaming tables for next year!
July 21, 2008 at 8:28 pm |
Right guys Steve has gone through the trouble in setting up a forum for all the banter so I would like to see more people registering on the forum. It doesn’t bite and you won’t get viruses or gremlins coming out of your monitors – so press up to forum and follow the leads and register in the relevant sections. I have some news over there but to reply you will need to be part of the forum crew!
July 21, 2008 at 10:01 pm |
like the forum guys, get posting people. use this noticeboard for games etc perhaps if you still want.
July 22, 2008 at 1:41 pm |
To Paul: I know it’s short notice, but I’m going to have to cancel our game tomorrow (the 23rd). Since I’m not sure he checks the noticeboard, can anyone with contact details for him please let him know?
To Darrell: I’m going to have to cancel our game on the 30th.
I won’t be able to attend the club again until September the 3rd (or 2nd, if the Tuesday thing goes ahead). I will, however, look forward to a rearranged match with either or both of you at any point after then.
July 22, 2008 at 9:28 pm |
WARREN; check out my new avatar on the forum……… cool.
July 22, 2008 at 9:52 pm |
Everyone
I thought Kelmarsh was excellent – cheers! I will be back at the club a bit more now things are settling down at home. If anyone wants a game this week or next let me know.
Warren
I will swing by the club tomorrow to pick up my scenery.

July 23, 2008 at 11:46 pm |
Hello Stephen
Re change of day, I voted earlier this evening for Tuesday and so did many others beating the Wednesday vote and after both were counted I took it for granted on a democratic basis that the new date would be moved to Tuesday and went about my game with Gavin but to my horror I have now been informed no change will occur, this cannot be tolerated as moving to Tuesday is essential for a larger quality playing area that is the whole building, Wednesdays with all the club members upstairs in summer is like a sauna, less car parking space due to the clash with cubs/scouts, less tables to move upstairs and more.
With the fact that many club members who would have voted for Tuesday were not present at the club this evening another vote should be taken but this time not with a show of hands but a member list drawn up and each member ticking a box.
July 24, 2008 at 12:25 pm |
Kevin
As I am a wargamer and a roleplayer, I can see both sides of the story. Whilst I do not personally have a problem with moving to Tuesdays, and voted as such there are many people that have alternate commitments on Tuesdays.
Whilst several people that voted for keeping Wednesdays were Roleplayers, roleplay groups could possibly suffer and probably be abandonned if we moved, but if I recall there were Wargamers that voted against it too
Either way we may lose members, however if we want to move you need a higher commitment. Based on the vote yetserday we would probably have lost 30-40% of members. Being a member of the club from the start, I can say that the club was based an a mix of Wargamers and roleplayers, and it would be a shame to lose that aspect of the club.
July 24, 2008 at 1:16 pm |
Could ALL members please register over at the forum please! Steve has taken time to do this and it makes it so much easier to have a running debate or chat without it being intersected with other people’s conversations. Also the ability to poll and vote is on the website so (as its topical) that all people can vote.
So if you are having problems registering or have never seen a qwerty board before just email Steve or myself and we will gladly show you how.
July 24, 2008 at 4:44 pm |
to both Kevin and David; i too see both sides but the one point i think some people were unaware of last night (including me) was that the vote we took was NOT to move to a tuesday, but was to determine if we should vote on a move to a tuesday. so in effect, we took a vote on whether we should take a vote.
July 24, 2008 at 5:03 pm |
Hello
As the Democratic vote was disgracefully discarded, DO NOT CALL FOR MY ATTENTION ON ANY ISSUE AGAIN just do what you want and ignore the majority.
yours Adolf.
July 24, 2008 at 6:06 pm |
Steve; is there something wrong with the clock on the forum as it sayd i posted something at 7 minutes to 10 yesterday morning and i swear i was at work. is it on yankee time or just out of synch.
July 24, 2008 at 6:24 pm |
James – if you register on the forum its better to organise games – I will take on your dwarves on 30th if you want but I won’t use undead – I’ll try something friendlier like Empire or Orcs and Goblins. Make your choice – oh and register if you can.
July 24, 2008 at 7:48 pm |
I will be taking charge of the SFS Trophy challenge and Carl has given me his blessing (from the Lady no less!). I will start the trophy challenge games hopefully at the end of September so that gives everybody a chance to enroll and pledge that they will complete games. I’m looking to keep to Carl’s initial rules with one or two oddball things thrown in to make it more exciting (you know me!) I would like two leagues as he stated but will limit this to only four to each league – first come first served. Hopefully this would be all finished before our AGM so the champion can be presented with it! That leaves three months of play – and potentially 5 matches for the champion. If I get more interest then it will go to five but I’m sticking to four knowing that there are roleplayers among you.
So if you wish to provisionally book your place quick by replying to this message! There are five places left Carl, Julie and I have included ourselves.
Starting at the end of September this should give people enough time to muster a 2000pt army and perhaps practise it. Full rules will come in the middle of August! There will be a nominal fee to enter – nothing overbearing and this will go towards a bouquet of flowers for Simon’s wife. I think she will be touched at this.
July 24, 2008 at 8:23 pm |
Hello Gavin
Purchased some Prussian Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery and Kings German Legion Light Dragoons yes I know King George please see attached pictures, it looks like Italieri are better in quality and quantity whereas Hat offer a superb range, I am also bidding for Prussian Reserve Infantry, Prussian Cuirassiers, Prussian Volunteer Jager and more, I will bring to the club next Wednesday and you can tell me how many more boxes I require to complete the 1st and 2nd Corps and if there is a surplus they can build the 3rd and 4th Corps in the future.

Re your 40K tournament, I will not be able to play my 2000 points IG Cadian/Preatorian army as planned so please delete my name from the list.
July 25, 2008 at 8:42 am |
Carl,
There is a timezone setting in your own profile for the Forum. This I believe defaults to Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5). If you log onto the forum and modify your profile you can change your timezone to GMT. This should alter all the times of postings that you see on the forum to be displayed as GMT.
July 25, 2008 at 9:04 am |
Hello Gavin
Well that is good as there seems to be less line infantry models with all the manufacturers, by the way its hot of the press do you have Napoleon vs Europe Befrieungskrieg 1813 – 14, the famous War of Liberation ? if I recall you mentioned only 3 scenarios and with this AOE scenario book there are 14 scenarios Battle of Gross Beeren – 23 August 1813, Oudinot vs Bernadotte. Battle of the Katzbach – 26 August 1813, MacDonald vs Blucher. Battle of Kulm – 30 August 1813, Vandamme vs the Czar.Battle of Dennewitz – 6 September 1813, Ney vs Bernadotte. Battle of Wartenburg – 3 October 1813, Bertrand vs Yorck. Leibertwolkwitz (Leipzig) – 14 October 1813, Murat vs Schwarzenburg. Battle of Mockern (Leipzig) – 16 October 1813, Marmont vs Blucher. Battle of Hanau – 30 October 1813, Napoleon vs Wrede. Battle of Schestedt – 10 December 1813, the Danes vs the Russo-German Legion. Battle of La Rothiere – 1 February 1814, Napoleon vs Blucher. Battle of Orthez – 27 February 1814, Wellington vs Soult. Battle of Toulouse – 10 April 1814, the last battle of the war. Hohenlinden 1800 Craonne 1814.
July 25, 2008 at 10:08 am |
Hello Gavin
I have just purchased Napoleon vs Europe and I should receive before Wednesday so we can both have a good butchers at it, it looks like the Grande Armee is in for a kicking.
July 25, 2008 at 12:55 pm |
Hello Gavin
Okay.
July 25, 2008 at 2:13 pm |
Kevin – does Gavin know about this website? It seems as if you are putting in a lot of effort explaining stuff and getting no replies. Not saying that Gavin is ignorant but he may just be unaware of the site or he he is extremely busy.
On another note there are just four places left for the Simon Freshwater-Sturgess Memorial Trophy. If we just get two more that will suffice but I would like to see more involved. If you haven’t signed up yet then please head over to the forum to do so or just give me a quick “yes” commitment here. First come first served!
July 25, 2008 at 5:02 pm |
Newsflash only two places remaining for the SFSM Trophy.
July 25, 2008 at 7:09 pm |
Hello Warren
I will not be able enter the SFS M Trophy.
July 26, 2008 at 10:25 am |
All places filled now for the SFSM Trophy -thank you to all.
However, if things do happen before the end of September and it makes it impossible for a competitor to enter then a reserve list will be made. First on the list will take the
not-able-to-participate person’s place.
July 26, 2008 at 3:10 pm |
Warren
Great I’ll se you on Wednesday with 2000pts about 7.30-7.45.
Sign me up for the reserve place in your league I missed the earlier notices as I away at the moment!. I’ll add myself to the forum when I get back from holiday.
Cheers
James

July 26, 2008 at 3:59 pm |
nice one kevin like the sense of humour
July 26, 2008 at 7:46 pm |
Hello Carl
Yes I thought so as well.
July 26, 2008 at 7:58 pm |
Hello Gavin
Re 1st and 2nd Corps lists, with the Line and Landwehr totals 97/55 is it 4 per base so I require 608 infantry ?
July 26, 2008 at 9:12 pm |
Kevin; as Matt and I are looking to do a Battle of the Bulge scenario for kelmarsh next year could you sort out some suitable buildings when you next do your moulding. Also, how about asking Gavin about doing a Napoleonic scenario. Once all the ideas are in we can then discuss which ones we are going to run. Also, as Warren said try out the forum, theres loads of stuff on there mate.
July 26, 2008 at 9:39 pm |
Hello Carl
I have been so busy recently with house repairs, part time activities and now building my Prussian army I have not found the time to even start making the moulds let alone casting, If I do not get the buildings done for next year you can use 2 matchboxes per house and bung loads of snow on em.
Regarding Gavin and as you are club chairman you can suggest that to him and I will not register on the forum.
July 27, 2008 at 7:48 am |
Hello Carl
Anyway last Sunday I said for next year at Kelmarsh I and another person would make and run a Western Front village scenario and you do the Eastern Front again.
July 27, 2008 at 9:51 am |
Kevin; i am not club chairman just the clubs organiser for kelmarsh. i may have a word with him about his thoughts on doing kelmarsh. as for FOW Matt wants to do Battle of the Bulge but it wont matter if we have 2 scenarios running as the FOW table was very popular last weekend.
July 27, 2008 at 11:08 am |
Hello Kevin
i just wanted to confirm our game of flames of war for wednessday, I will bring both german and russian armies allong.
will the downstairs now be open to the club this week? i will also bring some scale terrain along for us to use.
thanks
July 27, 2008 at 11:46 am |
Hello Mark
Sorry I have arranged a Napolenics game with Gavin for this and next week, if you still want a FOW game with another member post here and I think it will be downstairs.
July 27, 2008 at 12:40 pm |
Hello Mark
I needed the confirmation last Wednesday, sorry if I did not state this.
July 27, 2008 at 4:32 pm |
Hello Gavin
Had a problem with Prussian Hussars until I found a manufacturer called 1815 and they produce Prussian Brandenburg Hussars and Prussian Death’s Head’s Hussars
“Totenkopf-Husaren”
Their badge (skull and crossbones)
was also used by the Das Reich SS Panzer Division
and some other elite SS troops during World War 2.
Get in there my son now your talking my language, I will be down the model shop hand in me pocket like a ferret down a rabbit hole.
Oh joy the final nail in the coffin of the Franchaise Grande Armee ( finally silenced )
I really feel a song coming on and it goes like this
I’ve had a good time but this was’nt it
love Adolf
July 27, 2008 at 5:31 pm |
Is anybody free for a game of Fantasy this wednesday?
July 27, 2008 at 6:07 pm |
Aaron; nice to hear from you. are you back at the club full time from this week? check out the forum steve has put on, its excellent and has a lot of info on it.
July 27, 2008 at 6:25 pm |
time to light up
July 27, 2008 at 6:34 pm |
goodo.. you know it makes sense
July 27, 2008 at 8:23 pm |
Steve; i think the clock is out by about an hour or so on the noticeboard
July 27, 2008 at 8:26 pm |
Yes. It’s because the code behind the site doesn’t take into account BST. I can manually correct the clock to adjust for this, but I will have to remember to adjust it back again when the clocks go back in the autumn.
July 27, 2008 at 10:02 pm |
Hello Carl
I will play my game with Gavin for this and next week and then I am done with the club.
July 27, 2008 at 10:12 pm |
Stop editing the messages
July 27, 2008 at 10:27 pm |
Keep the language reasonably civil then please.
July 27, 2008 at 10:50 pm |
Hello
Well it was not that bad, anyway what I should have said is that Warren is the dense material here not me.
July 28, 2008 at 1:39 pm |
Hello Gavin
The AOE Napoleon vs Europe arrived today and what a super addition to the game, looking forward to the game on Wednesday.
July 31, 2008 at 7:26 am |
Hello Carl
Have a good holiday.

Cheers
Paul.
August 9, 2008 at 6:53 pm |
Hello Gavin
Re magnetic strip for basing do I require 20mm or 25mm or other as for the game we are going to play surely I need the same size bases as your army ? and there is 10mm and 12.5mm for the single horse base also there is 0.8 and 1.5 thickness again what do you use.
August 11, 2008 at 8:53 pm |
hello kevin,
just to touch base with you over our game of fantasy could we reshedule for the following wednesday as at moment its looking like i will be working late next week worst luck, as i am not working for three weeks as of 21st will be available for plenty of gaming.
August 11, 2008 at 8:53 pm |
also would any body be available for a game of fantasy or flames of war this wednesday?
August 12, 2008 at 2:39 am |
Hello Mark
Okay.
August 12, 2008 at 7:36 am |
mark; i will be able to play flames on the 27th if you are ok for that. also, dont forget to sign up on the forum as most of the game arranging is being done on there now along with lots of other stuff. check it out its excellent. sign up if you can and then send me a personal message re the match
August 14, 2008 at 10:12 pm |
Please take a look at the photo pool for Phoenix Gaming club over at Flickr
If you haven’t had an invite then you will need to email me or PM on the message boards as I don’t have everybody’s email address

August 26, 2008 at 2:23 pm |
Erm… I have left a post on the Forum, and 16 people have looked at it, but no replies-so, is anyone looking for a game on Weds 27/8? Apologies for not following protocols.
August 27, 2008 at 1:21 am |
Hello Rick
I am playing Napoleonics with Gavin, I cannot suggest a game for next week as I will not be attending the club on a regular basis anymore due to the dirt being thrown at me for the third and final time.
September 10, 2008 at 8:32 am |
Paul
Hi I can not get onto the forum so i hope you get this. i will be along tonight with 2000pts of Dwarfs but i may be a little late, not later than about 7.45. Feel free to set up the board and generate your spells while u wait. My army travels in its trays so I’ll be pretty quick to set up.
Cheers

September 18, 2008 at 12:02 am |
League A:
Julie Stevens – Dark Elves
David Bettison – Warriors of Chaos
Jon Nicholls – Wood Elves
Steve Mawson – Skaven
Henry Sherrey – Empire
Darrell Lee – Daemons
League B:
Rick Hart – Dark Elves
Paul Redmond – Wood Elves
Mick Armstrong – High Elves
Carl King – Bretonnians
James Leigh – Dwarves
Liam Thompson – Daemons
One match has already been played tonight with a draw had by Rick Hart’s Dark elves and James’ Dwarves.
If all players are playing on the same night then there will have to be a tight squeeze upstairs I’m afraid. Hopefully there shouldn’t be too many problems.
Please remember that VPs must also be totalled. Please be aware that if each combatant has taken each other’s marker its not a cancel job – points should be marked up. For instance 100pts should be added to both of your scores. This could make a difference later.
It is up to people to sort out their games, record the results and vps and to either give them to me or post them on. You all should have markers ready for inspection by your second game – no exceptions.
September 27, 2008 at 8:46 pm |
If anybody has not done this yet they should as its becoming a bit of a tumble weed site on this noticeboard. You should really click the forum tab waaaaaayy above and follow the links to the message boards. I feel a number of our younger members are not getting any benefit or voicing their opinions over there. Votes are always being cast – so if you want to be heard or have your point of view on club issues and the like then please add yourself to the forum message boards. It doesn’t take long. I am quite baffled why people don’t. The role players especially have a section especially designed for their usage – yet there has only been one post there since the message boards started – and that was from me.
So come on guys please sign up – (honest we won’t repossess your house or anything!)
October 26, 2008 at 11:14 pm |
Provisionally booked at the Chinese Buffet in High Street Rushden for 12th December – I have allocated 12 places so far – but I did say that more may come. Chap said ok and just to let him know before.
The Time? – 7.00pm!!
Now I will need to get deposits off people as soon as possible to ensure that the tables are fully booked. If we say £5 each to me on Wednesday then I can get this to the restuarant on Friday.
January 14, 2009 at 7:15 pm |
FAO Henry:
Henry I have tried several times to get in contact with you on the phone but it seems switched off. Could you please get in touch with Stephen Mawson to arrange his last and your fourth trophy game. If you can’t do it anymore for one reason or another could you let me know as the semi-finals are almost sorted. We need your match with Stephen done first and then you have a match with Julie. I wouldn’t want people going through on forfeited games so if you could contact Stephen or leave a message here I would be most grateful. Hope to here from you pretty quickly
cheers Warren

Hi Lewis.
As you may have already noticed, most of the clubs web related activity nowadays tends to take place on the forum. This is located at http://phoenixgamingrushden.proboards.com/
