It was a long day of battle. The gaming area was full to overflow with 7 tables running. Winners were Chris Brown playing Protectorate of Menoth in first place. Kyle Dalton playing Khador in second place. And Brandon Murchison playing Khador. We had the last of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place steamroller trophies!!
Later in the evening, bloodbowl games sprung up for the league. I ended OT in a tie in my game, but caused a whopping 5 casualties!! Ouch.

Tonight there were two games running. One was in Derkaderkastan where I played as one of the insurgent players vs. some marines moving through the town. We started off well taking out a Hummer and immobilizing the marine AAVP. Then it took a turn for the worse for the fedayeen and the advancing marines decimated one group, then a special attack from above took out another. From then on, it was all Marines.
The second game going simultaneously was in Neu Floppenhosen, a Force on Force battle in the European theater. This was the U.S. 10th mountain vs. Russian Spetznaz. The Spetznaz were cut down to a man. Ouch.
All in all the new building neutralizing rules worked well and kept the games from bogging down. I liked it!

I played a scenario of Check Your 6! with Steve. It has been an ongoing Guadalcanal scenario book. My Japanese forces didn’t do so well, but did manage to get a couple bombers to drop thier payload over the airfield. Time will tell.
We also had a few Warmachine players drop by to get some practice games in for this saturday!!
New news! A couple Warhammer 40k players are thinking of starting a group gaming night during the week…….details to follow when they nail down thier plans!!

Well, yesterday, our local press ganger (privateer press demo person) was kind enough to stop in and get a newer Warmachine player a little warmed up for his Adpeticon tournament.
Today we had a couple Bloodbowl games. First was mine, and man, I had it in the bag, but my opponent was able to knock the ball away and huck it down field away from me, ruining my chance to score at the end of the 2nd half. Now it is OT and he had to get going, so we will finish another day. ARGH! the suspense is killing me.
Second game is still going on, but near the end of a 1-0 match.
I must say that the GW Bloodbowl rules are very consice, compared to say Mordheim. I love Mordheim, but there are too many rules questions that crop up that are hard to define. Bloodbowl has none of that. I always have fun when we run a league here!

During the day Jerry F. had his birthday celebration here! He and his buddies played a big Warhammer 40k game, and then watched a Doctor Who episode on the big screen! Good times! See the pic of his game above!
Later in the day, we played bloodbowl games for the league! I got my first game in and fell behind early, but then pummled my opponent for the OT win. Lots of casualties caused and 3 level ups for me! Woo Hoo! See the pics of my team!

Using the Ambush Alley rules, this varient is specifically designed for the Vietnam War! This is the game we played for Miniatures Wargame Night on Friday night. Jim Roots brought his new warboard and Skip Petersen provided some of his old Vietnam troops miniatures. Great paint jobs, by the way. In the end, the U.S. troops could not get it together and were stopped before securing the village.
