KD47 - my apologies for my imprecise language, I meant to say Visigoths!

Nice Posting

Oh.....VISIgoths!      Well, umm..... I still can't see the young ladies.    Maybe they're InVisiGoths.    Could be me, my eyes are going.

Hey....did you know that puns are the lowest form of Comedy?

Anyhow, great looking game.

Here are some photos of our latest KOW extravaganza - this one was a 4,000 point (per side) game pitting my Ottomans & Leadfools Burgundians against a massive Holy Roman Empire army led by Vynnie & Johnicus plus another player.  While Leadfool, Johnicus & Vynnie engaged in a meatgrinder of a slugfest on the left I was hard pressed by an aggressive attack of heavily armored infantry which I finally managed to blunt by sacrificing most of my infantry.  However, this bought me the time necessary to bring my cavalry into play and rout my opponent.  While this was going on the forces on my left (Leadfool, Johnicus & Vynnie) had virtually annihilated each other but the Holy Roman Empire seemed to have a couple more units left than we did.  As the game ended  (on Turn 7) I was beginning to start my flank attack on the HRE forces but we ran out of time.  Based on the points lost we won (another) pyrrhic victory.

Hey Mikos khan, great photos but how about a better description of the action than "still more"? 

KD-47 How about you join us some night?

Yeah, I think so.   I'm interested in the ACWII game too.   I think there's something going on this Saturday too.   Mikos Khan is organizing it.

See you there

I recently completed a new middle eastern (Saracen) themed army for Kings of War and decided to try it out against Leadfools Poles.  Unfortunately, for my army the result was a complete rout and because I think Leadfool took pity on me he didn't take many photos of the ensuing disaster.  However, there are enough to give you a sense of how it went.  Enjoy.
