Geek List

Me and Bailey have a few board games between us now with a few expansions. We have listed our games on boardgame geek.com which is a very good for information and help etc. I also watch a lot of Tom Vassel on the dicetower.com, I really like the top ten lists which comes across as three friends having a good time above all doing what they enjoy.

Battle Flag

Monday nights game was of battle flag. The game was based on a possible engagement at the start of WW1 were the British wanted to stop a German battleship from reaching Turkish waters. In the real event the British Admarial decided his four armoured cruisers were out matched and did not engage. 
In tonight's game the Geman battleship turned to the right to avoid the British cruisers and keep them at extreme range. The battleship did some minor damage at range, but when the two fleets closed in the bigger German guns started to take their toll on the British. One cruiser got sunk by continued bombardment, number two got a critical hit and sunk. The German light cruiser ramed a cruiser to give some room. The third British cruiser got sunk from a good salvo. We called the game at this point with a German win. Three British cruisers sunk, one damaged and leaking. The German battleship was damaged but had not lost all it's hit points. 
Maybe the British Admarial was right!

Close Race

Me and B had a game of Formula d the other night on the new track I got. One quick lap went quicker than expected so we had two more races on two different tracks, restarted each race on the grid but kept the damage from race to race. Played very well and no one got to far ahead/behind due to restarting on the grid. Nice veriant to play with low numbers of players to get some laps in. I managed the win but as you can see both cars were wrecked!!!!

Zombicide

Played Zombicide at MAWS on Monday. Played very well with three new players and me and Bailey only a few games in our selves. A few house rules to help with game play. We were doing very well to start with and got most of the objectives but as the game went on the zombies mounted up. Bailey pushed his luck and got eaten which started the fall. We all died to clear the route for Rob. Rob just needed to reach the last objective with his slippery character but the walkers card gave all runners an extra turn. Run forest!!! All now walkers!!!!

Thunderstone

Played our first game of Thunderstone last night. Took longer than expected, with a few rule errors which I checked up on this morning. Enjoyed the game and the theme was very good. Need a few more games yet.
