Newmarket and Ely Wargames Society (NEWS)

Mortem et Gloriam
Only a couple of us play Mortem et Gloriam at the moment and we are very much new to it. Trying to increase interest and attract new players

Other Games
Also Bolt Action, To The Strongest, To the Strangest (TTS fantasy variant we developed), Sword and Spear, King of the Battlefield, Cruel Seas, Black Seas, Seven Days to the Rhine, Iron Cross, Flames of War, Lion Rampant, Dragon Rampant, Xenos Rampant, Stargrave, Wot a Tanker, DAK Attack, Donnybrook etc etc. To be honest we seem to play so many different rule sets my head spins

Dates
Meet generally Thu night 6.30-10pm, Victoria Hall, Fordham, Cambridgeshire
Every 3rd or 4th month we organise an all weekend  session of games when we get visitors from Yorkshire as well as London

Members
Around 12 regulars but with a wider more occasional group of about 25. We also have RPG players use the hall at the same time (helps keep costs down). New members always welcome, especially as some of us are starting to get a bit long in the tooth

I am relatively new to MeG and one of the areas of confusion, like many, is engaging in melee especially to flanks. One particular thing I don’t understand the logic of is in this case unit C is allowed to wheel into contact on the flank in the movement phase and yet if the same unit C were already on the flank but not in contact and a mere step away from engaging  yet it is only allowed to do so in the charge phase. This might happen if A had charged B earlier across the front of C if C was at right angles to B.  If I remember correctly you can charge through a close proximity zone
I would say despite the occasional confusion we are enjoying the rules and armies that have not seen light for a few years are coming out of their boxes
