Of Gods and Mortals at Hammerhead

*Unfortunately Real Life (tm) means we're not going to be able to put the game on at Hammerhead on Saturday*

Hopefully we can do it at Partizan later in the year.

Chum James has very kindly invited me to help him out, and so we will be running participation games of ‘Of Gods And Mortals’ at the Hammerhead show at Newark (UK) Showground on Saturday March 2nd - please come and join us if you fancy a game. OGAM is one of our favourite rules sets: a fast-playing and entertaining mythological skirmish game from Osprey Publishing.



Our table (GA06, in the main hall on the left) will feature two different cultures: Celtic at one end, and Greek myth at the other. Players can choose to play either pantheon, with Gods , legends and mortals from our eclectic miniature collection. Zeus, Talos the Bronze Giant, the Minotaur, the Dagda and the Morrigan should all be putting in an appearance.


We will be running two main games, probably at 10:30 am and 1:00pm - these will be standard-size 900 point games, lasting about 90 minutes. We will also be playing short taster games (about 30 minutes) to order throughout the day. You can pick your pantheon - Greek or Celtic - and play with 1-4 players.



As well as this, we have been donated some OGAM-related prizes  by Nick at Northstar and Osprey, so we’ll be giving these away throughout the day in a mini treasure hunt competition to anyone playing the game.



For any further information, please feel free to drop us a line (use the comments section); you may also be interested in James’s article ‘Why I Love OGAM’, which appears in Wargames Illustrated magazine this month (March edition).  There is also a Facebook group dedicated to the the OGAM rules set.

We look forward to seeing you there.
