"What did you play this weekend? " Topic

Our group did two battles. 1942 North Africa Brits vs. Italians & Germans. Used Bolt Action 2 rules. Axis won

Second game was Black Powder 2, ACW using Glory Hallelujah suppliment. Our first big foray into these rules. Yankees won, running off 2 of 3 Reb brigades. So what did you play?

Plattsburgh, War of 1812.
We used Empire V, "fast play".
This is a local variant, based on the COPYRIGHTED original rules, so, sorry. No copies.
It is NOT tedious. You just have to know what you're doing.

Two battles in 1866, Austrians v. Prussians using Field of Battle, 3rd edition, and playtesting/developing the Season of Battles campaign system. Great fun!

Check Your 6! Honduras vs. El Salvador 1969. Mustangs vs Corsairs. The FAS (2 C-47s and 4 Mustangs plus 2 Corsairs) had to bomb the Honduran air base. They faced 4 Corsairs of the Honduran Air Force. The Hondurans succeeded in downing both C-47s before they could reach their target and won the game.

We did 'What a Tanker' in some Normandy games. TMP link

Battle of Springfield – AWI

After a number of WoG games, we went with a board game Friday night: Comquest of Nerath, which is essentially a D&D-themed variant of Axis & Allies (and, IMHO, a superior game). The alliance of elves and men defeated the vile hordes of the undead and goblins.

I'm building up to introducing the group to Warmaster.

Nothing, but painted a bunch. Took a good look at Rebels and Patriots. Gaming with the guys on the 9th.

DBA… Republican Roman vs Late Macedonians. A replay of Pydna. Also Greeks vs Alex. Alex won a tight victory with the Phalanx finally breaking the Hoplites.

Spent Sunday afternoon running three hour-long games of Panzer Kids at the NOVAG/Potomac Wargamers game day at the Centreville, VA, library: British Shermans and Grants against German Pkz IIIs, IVs, and a Tiger in and around a burning Tunisian village, Dec. 1942. Had a few dads bring their kids to introduce them to the rules and the greater wargaming hobby.

Gearing up for a Warhammer Fantasy 8th with my son

Mexican-American War 28mm using modified Fire&Fury rules. The Mexicans held off the attacking Americans and won the battle!!

Rob, Rick, Roman, Oscar and I enjoyed the game playing at the Dragon's Lair in San Antonio Texas. We are all members of the Lone Star Historical Miniatures (LSHM) club.

Figures are primarily Old Glory and painted/based/labeled by myself. I am building (now 90% complete) the OOB for Palo Alto. We plan to play the game/battle at the Palo Alto battlefield visitors center this fall.

Charles, I've been to the Palo Alto battlefield. Very cool battle.

Just DBA

Cruise ship this past week. Just docked from eight day sailing to the Mexican Rivera ports. But next weekend shaping up for the Battle of Almonacid Aug 1809 using Polish, the German division, and French vs. the Spanish.

Later this evening…. hope to unpack and work on some VolksGrenadier platoons (20mm), based for FOW Ver3.0 future scenario "Festung Breslau", to be staged at the HMGS-PSW convention in March (Los Angeles-Van Nuys NG Armory)

On a construction site in Kazakhstan so my gaming is an hour or two of Civ 6 on the laptop every night for the 6 weeks that comprises my shift.

But, I'm home on Feb 1st for a three week period and then it's one or two games of C&C Napoleonics against my daughter, continuing a 15mm Imagination campaign against some bods in other cities in Thailand and two 1/300 WW2 east front battles against a friend who's coming over from Singapore for a week. So I'm pretty solid in February.

Just board games with the family.

One group I game with did a Naval Thunder WW2 British-Italian battle on Friday. The guy who GMed the game said the Italians did much better than historically. Me – all 3 of my Italian ships sunk.

Then on Saturday we did a Great Italian Wars battle with my 18mm Blue Moon collection using Pike and Shotte rules modified. Close battle and great fun.

Gaming every Thursday with the group. One game of Shako 2, from Michael Hoppers scenario book Duel of Princes, north Sacile. The Austrians won handily as our cavalry did nothing! Also my dice rolling was shit! Second game, Armati 2 Athenians vs Spartans, the latter won this one.

I game on a Tuesday. Last week was To the Strongest with Romans defeating Spaniards in 15mm

I ran a four person WWII US vs. German skirmish game with Nuts rules in 20mm.

Tom

None, did a bit of painting though.

We are in the midst of Salamanca, using C&G,
in 15mm.

Game stopped at the end of the 6th turn and will resume
in February.

Heroes of Normandy on Vassal. Not Normandie…

Shadows of Brimstone

Soloing a board game but earlier in the week played regimental Fire & Fury at Gettysburg and some Command and Colors Ancients.

Fireball Forward, where we learned that rushing a mob of BT-7s and T-26s with Panzer IIIs is a really bad idea

Brian DeWitt's Remember Scarborough WWI naval game on Saturday, and a Force on Force Dien Ben Phu game on Sunday at the annual NOVAG Games Day.

No game again this weekend, that's two in a row. But I did get in a weeknight Flames of War game so I got my fix.

Nothing. Gaming doesn't exist in this area anymore.

15mm Napoleonics using ESR rules, Westphalians vs. Russians.

Cruel Seas

I work most weekends, so nothing then. Midweek, though, I had a final battle in a 1929 Berthier campaign, using a lightly- modified "Over the Top" for tactical rules. Franconians managed a decisive win-- ATRs and 77s KO'd a pair of FT- 17s and long range automatic weapons fire drove off a battery of 75s before they could deploy. Our tanks, as usual, were miles away from the battle.

WWII micro armor.

Painted and (not at same time) watched some episodes of Kings War.

I ran two games of Gunfighters Ball and then played in another home brewed old west game.

Tactica II, Romans and Ponts.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned playing with the old lady, y'know chasing her a few laps around the dining room table? You guys got no sensa romance.

No chasing necessary, mutually commencing with the same idea. No sense wasting the energy on running.
