5th January Games

Greetings and Happy New Year to one and all.

Reasonable turnout in the very cold weather last night; Steve S, Dave K and Mark played Zombicide while Alan and Rob were involved in another Warcry game; I'm advised carnage levels were high.


Matt and I were revisiting my Viking wars collection with a Lion Rampant scenario based on The Fugitive scenario from the rules. Both sides were seeking the missing norse warlord, the Norse to rescue him and the Anglo-Saxons to terminate him with extreme prejudice. First contact was made three moves in by the Anglo-Saxons but in the interests of a good game the warlord slipped away. He was later found by a Norse skirmisher unit and escorted away while the rest of the force fought a rearguard action. High spots were the total destruction of my Norse berserker unit in two rounds of combat by the Anglo-Saxon leader and the Anglo-Saxons slingers being their usual lethal selves (might have messed up the casualty calculations there).

Next week we've decided to play some board games. I'm also looking at games for the Broadside show on 4/6/22; the Lion Rampant Viking Raid game is one option, but there is talk of reviving Angels 20 with a Battle of Britain theme.

See yer soon

Neil
