Post a pic of the last game you played.

Very old school. I like it!

Thanks Hammers, some of those figures started campaigning nearly fifty years ago!

We played another game of Elbow Tech. Three Mercenary lances make a night raid on a city looking for an Inner Sphere Star chart to help them avoid the military. I hid a token under a building all assumed to be hardened structures that could not be destroyed by Mech fire. We had to pay one command dice to have our infantry serach a building. Once the token was found we had to escape off our edge of the board. I must say the infantry cards that come out when in an urban invironment are NASTY   This was great fun.

I love this thread.  I don't get to play many games at the moment so I game vicariously through the wonderful pictures posted here.

And what a joy to see the old GW epic buildings in use.  Really reminds me of my youth.

Splendid stuff, all around!

We played our first game of Warzone Resurrection 2.0 yesterday...and it was a blast! We played WR two years ago and kind of liked it. But it was a bit fiddly and unbalanced with some extremely powerful moves and models. The new system seems like a lot more fun! A good thing, since Warzone is one of the projects for 2017 for me

God of Battles, Monday evening



I'll probably have the last part of the AAR finished and on my blog this evening....

Our Pulp Alley Cthulhu campaign continued with an outing to the swamps, where we got up close with all sorts of critters.

You can see the whole report here: http://preacherbyday.blogspot.com/2016/12/swamp-things-pulp-alley-game.html

Those aquarium plants look oddly at home in that setting. Wouldn't have thought of using them like this, but now I actually have a reason for getting stuff like that 

[blacksoilbill]

I agree: I wouldn't have picked them either! (One of our other players put all the terrain together.) But they really do work for the weirdness of Cthulhu.

6mm sci-fi - kind of Epic, but 30k



White marines (Death Guard?) and Yellow Marines (Imperial Fists, me) vs Red Marines (can't remember!!) and Blue Chaos Marines (1000 sons)

In a big punch up to light 6 cauldrons to summon some Demon or the other. Great game, even if it did rather turn in to get me! This is near the end and my ally (white) is slowly moving forward wth giant formations shooting all away from in front of him. I think he suffered 4 casualties all game, one of which was from a dangerous terrain test!

More 10mm Cold War 

[Pijlie]

Our traditional club Christmas Battle: this time a tabletop version of Zombicide (Find Ye Holye Grayle!!) with a homegrown rules, 10 players and lots of zombies and mayhem.

Looks like a blast!

Escape for Colditz (Osprey reissue)

When I had seen this was been re-issued, it immediately hit the nostalgia buttons, as I kind of remembered playing it with friends 30+ years ago. So it went on my Christmas Amazon list. When it was unwrapped my daughters were interested in playing (which was a win!), so we played our first game on Christmas day evening.

The production values are very high - the box is really heavy! The board is thick and nicely illustrated. The pieces within the box come in 'red cross food parcel boxes' and there are various facsimile documents.



It is a long game - especially at times you can spend a lot of time thinking, this is particularly true for the German player who is trying to second guess the prisoners. Steph ended up with all but one of her prisoners in Solitary confinement - as she couldn't roll doubles to free them. I managed to get two prisoners to escape, both by scaling walls with lots of rope and then making a mad dash. The second one was shot at by a guard, but fortunately had the lucky talisman that halved the guard's shooting result, it wasn't needed as the guard rolled a 3 (on 2d6) and narrowly missed his own toes!

Lovely.  Osprey have been knocking it out of the park with their boardgames, many of which should appeal to wargames,  thematically.

[fred]

Yep, its really nice. Looking at the photos of the old version online, it seems very similar, but smartened up. The rules have had an update and clarification too.
