Hi lads,
So Jet was over at the house a couple of weeks ago and we had a scrap game of CinC (since we haven't played it in a dog's age).

http://geektactica.blogspot.com/2011/08/chaos-in-carpathia-battle-report.html

Its just a quick one but it had some -ahem- "memorable"

moments....

Enjoy!

Excellent report.

I like the Master Vampire falling into the river, as you say it never happens in the movies

Lurverly minis and terrain!

I MUST get some time to get some minis ready for CiCar. Been pending couple of years, now...

WOW!!!

VERY fun and VERY inspiring! (and GREAT pictures ans miniatures!)

Thank you very much for sharing!

P.S.> I think that fast moving streams are mandatory in outdoor adventures (better yet with a well placed waterfall...) !!!

Excellent report and great visuals!

Thoroughly agree with the idea of setting up terrain for specific objectives.

Will be going down that route for the VSF skirmish game we are starting soon.

Easier with a GM, of course, but easily done with 'sensible' opponents!

Great inspiration. Thanks!

Love your Nosferatu, I am waiting for that pack in the mail & your painting is very inspiring!

Just struck me: Probably because, according to lore, they cannot cross running water?

Yes, that occurred to me afterwards. It probably was a silly thing to attempt.

Still though, it was highly entertaining to imagine the master Vampire leaping over the river, talons raised and cloak billowing behind him in dramatic fashion suddenly, with Bugs Bunny-like finality, coming to a dead stop mid-leap and plunging straight down into the raging torrent below! I rolled his strength test to cross the river and every dice came up one. Jet should have taken a picture of that roll...

@goon3423: Cheers mate, glad you like them! Those West Wind vamps (and indeed all their Gothic Horror minis) are great fun to paint up.

Very nive bat-rep, good looking scebery and BEAUTIFUL miniatures.

It does suck when all dice rolls seems to fail, but if you're playing with mates just for the fun of the game, this can lead to "Legendary mementos" that are narrated over and over again in future years with your gaming group, for a good round of laugh

.

Thanks for a refreshing AAR and some inspirational pics.

Best wishes.

"...I thought you folks might like to see a few photos from our Chaos in Carpathia game last night."

Gifted in the understatement?

Delightful, and amusing! And you are quite the good sportsman for pointing it out, if I read right.

Don't forget his legs, flailing in the air over mid-stream, until the look of realization comes over his continence. 'Oh, THAT'S why I don't cross running water...'

Thanks for sharing!
