Well that's day 1 of MacLAM finished. Fantastic games played with some really nice people. There seems to be something peculiar about that date (It seems to be living up to name given it by a certain individual, "a fucking catastrophic date"
). Several members had to pull out for various reason last minute, and one of the organizers, AndyM, came down with a bug and couldn't make it! It's like the Bermuda Triangle of the Gaming World!
We had a variety of games on offer today including; VSF, SCI-FI, American Wars of Independence and Pulp. I'd like to thank Kestrel, Gamer Mac and Bill5549 for running games today (especially poor Bill who came all the way from the East Coast to run a game and had to leave after lunch!).
The following is the only picture that I managed to get of the Aquanauts game. As you can see there is much pondering as to what the next move will be.
Meanwhile over in America, my patriots where fighting the British... sorry being slaughtered by the British.
^The very friendly Bill5549, umpiring our game.
^My Column quickly moves along the road; the butterfly gun in tow.
^My Militia fire *Bang Bang* (They hit nothing but air! So I may as well console myself by making noises)
^The Finger of Doom (See these guys they're pure mad mental so they are)
^My Right Flank
^And it's great disappearing act!
I'm not really a huge fan of 'big' battles but I thoroughly enjoyed this! Really good fun despite my inability to roll the required numbers. I really like the system (Black Powder? By Warlord Games?). Pretty simple good fun. I loved the command rules; really good fun, despite my army running away most of the time!
Ran my pulp/Cthulhu game. It pitted 4 teams against each other; Germans, Mikatonic University, The Brotherhood of the Black Pharaoh and Foo Manchu's dastardly Chinese in a race to find a rare copy of the Necronomicon. The game seen the teams fighting the local militia, skeleton warriors, angry snakes and Archaeologists!
Favourite moments included; Lucas, the German NCO planted dynamite at the gate of the militia compound only to activate an encounter resulting in him being surrounded by beggars, preventing him from moving and being blown apart by his own dynamite. The Incredible, Invincible, Abdul who survived everything that was thrown at him. And finally the Chinese player's inability to roll anything above a four (And blaming it on his orange dice!). As usual I got so caught up in the game that I never took many pictures (in fact only one)
Well here is looking forward for tomorrow; some gaming in space, on a zeppelin and possible fighting werewolves.
Cheers
Andy
