X Mass Haul

Not a bad haul of games for me and Bailey over X Mass.
King of Tokyo,
Relic,
Battlelore,
Saboteur,
Story Cubes (for me and the girls),
Blood of Gondor, Hobbit over hill expansions for Lord of the Rings LCG.

Had a quick game of some, nice.

Rods rules

We had a game of Robs own rules using his ships of the line ( sorry can not remember what he called them).
With no one but Lee playing before it was a slow start for most, me and Bob got some early hits in doing some damage mainly to Lees ships. But with some good movement by Lee he raked one of my ships causing a fair bit of damage closly followed by Bailey getting my other ship. Both Bailey and Lee tryed to move away to reload with me and Bod chasing them down. Towards the end of the game most ships werd boarding each other. One of Lees ships was captured and my two ships were in trouble from Baileys boarding but I was fighting back but running out of crew.
We all enjoyed the game and Rob will be tweaking the rules again I am SURE!!!!

Lord of the Rings LCG

Me and Bailey had some games of LotR lcg last night. We only played with the base sets of cards.
Quest 1 which is level 1, I played Lore B played Tactics. We won easily.
Quest 2 which is level 4, same decks. After a bad start we managed to win with ease in the end.
Quest 3 level 7, same decks. Bad start, followed by two bad rounds in which my threat level hit 53 killing the quest. I am not to sure this level can be done with base cards, but we did have some bad cards come out early.

Lost Cities

Me and Bailey picked up lost cities yesterday and had our first game last night. It is a fairly old game (1999 I think) but has high recommendations from the dice tower web site.
Very simple to understand and play but has a lot of strategy to it. Bailey loves it because he beat me!!!!

Two Game reports

Monday 21st October

Adam and myself played Flames of War - North Africa, 1300 points

Hadn't played for a while and we used easy army to build our armies and print the sheets - http://www.easyarmy.com/

It was a hard fought game with my (remaining) Germans failing their company morale and running away - there was only 1 command and 2 infantry stands left by then!
Even so, with allied loses they could only claim a 4 -3 win.

Left - Advance of the Crusaders,
Right - German survivors

Left - The new Monty?
Right - German attack

Left - German attack stalled!!!
Right - Recce troops in the village

Monday 11th November

Quatre Bras in 6mm, using Grand Armee, Fast Play.

Ste took the allies with Rob and Bailey as the French.

Good game with an usually good generalling display from Orange to attack the French and then hold the line along Germincourt Stream whilst Picton arrived to put the boot in and almost march to Frasnes.

Next time the 6mm are out I think an upgrade to Full rules and all the command problems they pose!!
Project Waterloo is well on course, just the Prussians to paint and some buildings to sort before 2015!

Top Left - French Advance on the Stream
Top Right - End if the Dutch-Belgian cavalry at the hands of the French Guard cavalry
Bottom Left - Fight at the Stream
Bottom Right - Initial Dutch advances to hold stream

Picton arrives,
And marches over the hills............and down the road!

As requested - trying to post.

Thought I'd put a couple of my favourite pics I have.
And a blatent plug for my blog!
