A frostgrave game last night, much fun...

Three hours 🕒 of Burrows and Badgers, took a beating but it was a great game

I played (most of) a solo game of Stargrave on Sunday (4th May) using some of my son's old WotC Star Wars figures with a Republic team attempting to extract data from a separatist base and flee from it.

Worked pretty well but I couldn't finish it on Sunday because one of the cats objected to the board's presence in an upright and figure covered position ...

Cats always win

ACW Black Powder - Glory Hallelujah 3 players 3.75 hours

Fighting over the Corn Field at Antietam, this is the third time we've played the scenario (or is it the fourth), the Union Commander is still adjusting his forces to try and get a win.

We started this game last weekend finished off the Union game in about 15 minutes. We then reset with the Union commanding selecting an all infantry force, up to his points limit, this time. Each of the four (or is it five) games have played quite differently and all so far have been Confederate victories but not overwhelmingly so.

Lasalle 2 1813- part of Leipzig

Back to fantasy gaming - War of the Ring Battle Game - Dwarves vs 'Goblins' lots of 10mm figures, about 8 player hours

Five games of MeG using my Samurai.
A win, two draws, two losses.
About 15 hours playing time.

Sabresquadron in 10mm
Russian T-64s beat up Black Horse cavalry.
Full report soon, but I got extremely lucky

The Old West tonight What a Cowboy...

ACW Black Powder - Glory Hallelujah 3 players 3.25 hours

Fighting over the Corn Field at Antietam again, this is the third fourth time we've played the scenario (or is it the fourth fifth), the Union Commander is still adjusting his forces to try and get a win.

We started this game last weekend finished off the Union game in about 30 minutes. We then reset with the Union commander using the same forces, using different deployment and tactics, this time. Each of the five (or is it six) games have played quite differently and all so far have been Confederate victories but not overwhelmingly so.

In this one the Confederate right most and center brigades broke but we just managed to break enough Union brigades before he could take advantage of the gaps. We definitely snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

Three board games yesterday main was Terraforming Mars. All much fun

ACW - Chattanooga (one scenario covering two days and combining the battles at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge). Doubly interesting as I visited the battlefield last year. BBB rules.

Not much time for gaming at the start of the month    so I tried to make up for it this week. Two games, a post-Martian Invasion skirmish game and a Midgard fantasy game.

On Thursday had a three player 15mm 1941 Ostfront game using IABSM which went for a bit under 5 hours.

Yesterday played 3 WWI dogfights and a WW2 bomber stream game at Army Museum of Flying.
