Thursday's Pike & Shotte game




And yesterday's Gangs of Rome!



Completely untraditional I won both!

Your Pike & Shotte game must have been great! An AAR would be more than welcome!  ;D

Re "a fistful of one eyed fat man"
Ooh! How did that turn out Nick ?  :)

Trying to balance it is the tricky part so both sides have an equal chance. I think it’s almost there. Another couple of play tests should do it.

It should be s fun hour at BLAM. :)

Your Pike & Shotte game must have been great! An AAR would be more than welcome!  ;D

We played a Spanish paychest convoy that had to cross the table into a village. The convoy was defended by a bit of cavalry, 4 battalias and 2 field guns. They were ambushed by Dutch troops with heavy artillery and masses of cavalry and a similar number of infantry.

The Dutch commander played his cards right. His heavy artillery disordered my foot and horse and his infantry advanced. His cavalry was positioned just so that they would cut off the convoy on the last stretch to the village.

It yielded mixed successes. One of my battalias and one of my horse squadrons were disordered most of the game and useless. The convoy made good speed. My remaining battalias formed and held the line in front of the convoy and my remaining horse squadron caught a Dutch battalia in column and destroyed it completely before withdrawing. But all that would have been in vain had the Dutch cavalry reached the convoy. Alas! They refused to budge and kept discussing the exact moment, speed and direction of their charge for the entire game right until the convoy entered the village and was safe!

Yesterday was a long-awaited Bolt Action day for our club - I got in some North Africa Tank War, and handed the British a thorough beating.

My dice rolls were off the charts in first turns.

It's been a awhile since we've played any Victorian SciFi. With the news I'd be hosting an 8 player game, cold boilers were stoked to life, battered old veterans were dragged from their plastic homes and piles of 20 sided dice were stacked in anticipation.
