Our gaming weekend (part 1, pic heavy)

[marko.oja]

Back from our gaming weekend and decided to post a couple of pics from this time:

Our gaming area:


Two pics from our Chaos on Cronos game (my main contribution this time, and guess who forgot to bring the canvas for the playing surface...):



The forces involved (Hydra galacteers, Killer B protectorate guard and mecha-men - I didn't feel too creative when painting these and copied other people's colour schemes aside from the protectorate guards):




continued in part 2

Very nice! Nice figures and much better gaming place!!

Great fun. It strikes me as hazardous if you accidentally dropped anything or got too excited and stepped backwards

I almost fell into the Baltic (not as hazardous as you might think, the water is quite deep and not too cold) and we did manage to "sacrifice" one of our Salute-dice to it...

Will this lead to an outbreak of extreme wargaming? 

Pulp adventures halfway up the pyramid of Cheops?
LOTHS aboard a yacht in the West Indies?
Possibly my Mad Max game? Now where can I find a tanker? And how do I get to Australia?

Beautiful place for a game (but a little chilly as the sun goes down perhaps?)

Those rocks make damn fine terrain. Why didn't you just play the game on the rocks?!

You can still manage quite well with just a long sleeved shirt at night here in Finland for a while (by the way, the place where we played is in Kustavi in the Turku archipelago). And as to gaming on the rocks - gotta remember that next time!

These people are Finns. Unlike you and me they do battle under VERY adverse conditions.

Pah! Real Finns wargame in an '81 Ford Escort RS, hurtling around a lake shore at over a ton...

Just kidding. Good show.

Nice use of the GW terrain... what are the other rock/crater-pieces, btw.? And that alien plant-thingy?

This is true. I supect marco is of the softer city breed. Another clue is that
I see no bottles of Koskenkorva, Mintuu , Lapinkulta or windshield wash littering the ground in those pictures.

Also kidding.

We actually managed to stick to coffee all through that game  And nothing stronger than beer and wine! Must be 'cause one of us is french? And, by the way, Lapin Kulta is more commonly known in Finland as "reindeer piss"...

Our usual fare is Jaloviina (1/3 brandy, 2/3 grain liquor)

That is one of the coolest places I've ever seen to game. Reading both threads, you guys clearly had fun with some very neat games and minis. Thanks for sharing!

Also Finland has the highest per-capita coffee consumption in the world, so it's not just all eye-watering liquor that gets drunk there.

I just wonder where you pick up that kind of trivia..?
