First Race

Tonights game was formula d on the  Buddh track. This race was to get the players used to giving themselves wear points and using some driver skills. The finishing positions were also to set the grid on the upcoming season.
The race started well with all drivers getting into turn two blocking the track causing me to drive up some ones behind and burning all my brakes, making me have to limp round the race track for the rest of the game. Bailey forced ahead taking some damage but getting in the lead which he managed to maintain to the win. Lee put his foot down and got into sixth gear rolling a top speed of 29! Bob pushed his car to the limit causing is car to spin out and leaving behind. Rob failed to use one of his skills which left him at the back of the field but his car intact,  with the other drivers suffering and slowing down he managed to bring his car in thrid.
Good race with some lessons learnt.

Battleships

Five pre dreadnought battleships for battle flag. 1/3000 th from Navwar.

VC Attack

Tonights game was Bolt Action with a twist, modern Vietnam War.
American marines with  M113s attacking a village. The VC were to push the Americans out of the village. If the village was in dispute the bridge and downed helicopter were secondary objectives.
The Americans advanced fast and hard up the center wiping out some VC units in the village. The VC got a T55 tank as reinforcements but managed to miss once hit an M113 twice and only managed a pin (some poor rolling). The US got a helicopter with a unit in that dropped them right in the village.
The VC pushed in to the village but were cut down again and again. The game was called with about 70% casualties to the VC and the US about 30% casualties and holding the village.
A good game with some lessons learnt about fire power and making up airborne landings as you go!
All models and scenery supplied by Lee.

Dragons Gold

Monday nights game was Lord of the Rings. The object of the game was for the teams to reach the dragon, kill it and take all the gold. Each group started at an entrance then each cave section and goblins were generated at random. Each player picked a race so we had. Rangers, dwarfs, high elfs, army of the dead and rohan. So after some nasty cave fighting for rohan leaving only one left come final battle and a little stroll in the mines for the dwarfs with there full unit fighting fit came the dragon. When the smelly little ones came busrting in it breathed fire and roasted a few. When they finally locked it down in combat it became a bloody contest, the forces of good caused some early wounds and the dragon looked in trouble. But the tide slowly turned with the dragon passing a few courage tests. The game ended with the dragon being the winner but only having one wound left, a close thing in the end.
Again a good game played with fun and a fair bit of calling the elfs cowards for hiding behind everyone else!!
