Dreadball and D&D… Happy XMAS to all

Last night saw a mini DB comp and Xmas themed D&D – didn’t take any photos as I was too busy cheering and booing during the Dreadball games.

In January we will be starting our League and some of us are running a National DB comp on the 26th of January – so come along and join in the fun.

Other January happenings are:

4oK games, more D&D, Dysptopian Legions and much much more

Seasons greetings

Season’s greetings to you all, good will to all men etc etc…….but not Skaven!

As previously metioned this Tuesday was the final meeting of the year, aka Pizza Night, as well as the final round of the Mordheim campaign.
Just one round of games this week to allow us to plow through 8 large offerings of Pizza Hut’s finest fare accompanied by a few sides of garlic bread with cheese and a few mince pies all washed down with lashings of ginger beer. Ahh TRADITION…can’t beat it :)

Back at the gaming the Orcs employed the Possessed shaman to conduct the ANCIENT RITUAL, as their shaman didn’t understand anything non fungal, whilst the Skaven attempted to stop them or even hijack the ANCIENT RITUAL via a Hold the Find scenario. Everyone else played linked games feeding into the final result.

The Skaven assault was utterly deadly with 7 of their opponents out of action on the first turn alone. Fighting valiantly the unholy alliance came close to completing the ritual before both shamans were eventually overwhelmed. The possesed spell-slinger was in fact impaled by a critically hitting spear thrust stapling him to the back of a troll……what a way to go! With such a convincing victory the side results had little impact as the horned god swept to victory.

Withe the Grimoire of Grunburg in their possesion will they overwhelm the town itself. Maybe one day we will return and find out!

Meanwhile, in the words of Eddie Murphy a la Trading Places, MERRY NEW YEAR!!!

Rat-at-at-attack!

Mordheim: The Final Reckoning

Lard, lard everywhere..........must be a wargames club!

Tis’ the season

Tradition can be a great thing and for us that means the last meeting before Christmas being Pizza and fun games.
Dominos’ Two 4 Tuesday deal provided one half of the equation whilst Munchkin Quest and Carcassonne provide the other.

Carcassonne was new to me but I picked it up quickly enough so that the second game was a much tighter affair than the first. Munchkin Quest threw the players a curve-ball with a pack of big beasties soon on the rampage. Mr C somehow ended up in the same room as them, silly boy!

2011 gaming commences on Tuesday January 11th with 5150. You’re welcome to join us!

Carcassonne: Build an empire and claim it for your own!

 

Munchkin Quest: even the game ganged up on Mr Christian!

 

A fine repast for any group of gamers :)
