For those that are interested, I worked out the odds for SoE combat... Offset Win Draw Lose ... 0 40.12% 19.75% 40.12% +1 59.88% 16.98% 23.15% +2 76.85% 11.73%...
After another excellent game of SoE, i think there was consensus to adopt a house rule for moving units within Europe. House rule: a) Unrestricted placement...
It was a great game. I agree with Neil on the HouseRule of "NEW units can arrive anywhere in Europe". Bringing armies BACK from the colonies would need a...
As one of the two newbies playing on Sunday, I thought I'd throw in my impressions of and thoughts on the game. Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot. I got off...
Well i agree with the Army training view - you can only get the potential benefit of +1 combat if you actually have at least one army present. So a player with...
I just came back from Essen and managed to bring back a large haul of games - the list is here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/25446 I'll happily bring...
Wow, what a haul! Mouth-watering. They gey pride of place at our session today. I think it's only fair that YOU get to pick which one(s) you most want to try...
Last session, last Sunday 21 October was brilliant! 10 of us meant it was perfect to split into two groups, and yet see how the other group's games worked. We...
Don't know whether some/all of you will also have received this. There's a GamesFest, incl boardgaming, in Tring (Herts) on Sat 10 Nov. It looks interesting to...
Hi folks, I'm confirming (as pencilled in) that the next session will indeed be next Sun 11th Nov, 6 days from now; as usual 2.30 prompt till about 7.30. Pls...
Another brilliant session! 10 of us to start with, (including new member Attila, a vet from Essex, and previously from Hungary, with a very sharp mind.) So we...
I found this today. Thought I might share it with you. These were posted on an NZ Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website...
You can imagine the comment about cutlery 'probably' having a rational basis but the question doesn't reflect that - reminds me years ago reading an article...
There's a tip on BGG about TL Maxx selling cheap games. Picked up a copy of Perikles for £9.99. Not sure how good it is, but it has a fairly good BGG rating...
This may be of interest - http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Dice_.html Bought some dice from these people. Already have plenty of regular opaque (mainly...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the lbgc group: Perikles - Could everyone who has played this game please post a rating for the Club. o...

I gave Perikles 10 out of 10 in your poll, Neil. I think 6 of us have now played it, 4 of us have voted, and it's got two 10's and two 9's. Pretty good!...
Neil picked up a copy of Perikles for £9.99 from TKMaxx, yep that clothing store with branches in Uxbridge, Ealing, Hammersmith (King Street) etc. Yep,...
Oh, and I forgot to mention that it runs at 2-3 hours. A perfect medium-length for our club. It has a finite ending. It runs for 3 turns or wars, and then...
I've been on the look-out for a game that we could elevate into a game that we at LBGC play fairly often and can have a league and ratings on. It would be an...
Hi Bob, I think this is a great idea and one that I would very much like to see happen. Keeping the league games we play to a minimum is the only way to make...
Hi all For what its worth I like the idea of a league, particually a Formula De league as I think that sort of game is well suited to league play. Anyway thats...
Great, a couple of enthusiatic yeses. That'll do. For anyone who thinks it might be a bad idea (frequently having to play a game you don't like, or people...
Right, I've spent a fun hour or two playing at devising a scoring system etc. for a Perikles "league". I enjoy devising such things. I'm open to comment and...
Funny that, Bob finally finds a game he wins every time and then he wants to set up a league table for it. No seriously I think its a good idea, I had once...
Hi Gang Just a couple of things: First of all regarding Feb 3rd. I can confirm that I can't make that date for TI3, as I will be at a SuperBowl party (booked &...
Hmm, I'm not sure about this mechanism. The problem is that it favours those people who play frequently, even if they don't do well. If one player finishes...
Although i'm not in favour of league tables for the sake of it, i think one for Perikles sounds good. I'm not sure you need to give a bonus to a new player...
