"Worst wargame experience I ever had!!!" Topic

So last night I was playing a Napoleonic game at my house with a guy I really like and it was getting pretty heated. The game moved on into the early morning hours and I was becoming more and more agitated as this guy kept right on with his little cheating game like moving figures 6 1/2 inches instead of the prescribed 6 inches, etc --so petty !!

I finally said something and the whole thing blew up --there was screaming, swearing, and yelling --then shoving !!
Finally, he slapped me right in the face !!
With that I threw him out and I will never ever solo game with that guy again !!!

What a creep -- I am done with that guy !!

Russ Dunaway

I know! I had that same guy in my solo game. What a jerk!

Haha! Nice one!

You should try to make amends. Go on the internet and buy him something really nice. You'll be glad you did.

You may have some explaining to do to Connie, but, after all, life is nothing but trade offs.

That's a great story.

Well, I know I cheat when I'm playing solo but I have yet to catch myself. When I do though things will get ugly.

"Semper I" Russ. LOL. You never did say who was winning. :-)
Hope peace is made so you can game with him again. Ohh, that extra half inch movement cheat is so infuriating.

Had to read that twice…

You know it's bad when you throw dice at yourself.

Russ, those solo games can get out of hand quickly, but it's rare to see them get physical (unless you are a contortionist).

or in close proximity to a mirror. If that's the case, have band aids handy.

Now my solo opponent is a very different problem. He doesn't cheat, but his mind just isn't on the game. He loses track of whose turn it is, and frequently he just wanders off in the middle of a game to paint castings or read a book. Very frustrating.

This does happen in all hobbies and games I am sure. Maybe it was the late hour. Tired and fatigued? Still a shame though.

Been there. It's tough finding as good a gamer as you are. My solo gamer is a real piece of work. He actually had the nerve to sleep with my WIFE!!!!! Dirt bag!!!

I am always very nice to my solo opponent. Hell, I would be really screwed without him.

Great story, to bad about the ending.

My solo gamer is very…different. I just wish I could get him to wear pants when we game.

You reeled me in on that story. LOL.

I attended the local wargame club and found that there were none of the usual gamers. I was thinking of leaving but a new lad brought in a couple of English Civil War armies and asked if I wanted to try out the period.

After a couple of moves and being well and truly hammers I lost all interest in the period.

An experienced gamer who wanted to show off and show that he knew the rules (I didn't) had the effect of turning me off from the period completely.

I think you should seek professional help. Either that or stop after the second drink. (smile)

Yeah, that's weird, I think I game with the same guy, no pants either, at least he wears boxers.

Can't blame you.

Should have gone all Russian crazy on him and announced a "slap fight", like I've occasionally seen video clips of.

I hope he learned his lesson.

I'd kick my solo opponent out for good but he paints better than I can!

"this guy kept right on with his little cheating game like moving figures 6 1/2 inches instead of the prescribed 6 inches, etc"

You can fix that guy the next time by giving him a cm ruler instead of an Imperial one… ;-)

You need to give yourself a big hug.

I love playing against my solo opponent. His die rolls are consistently awful!

Russ, you need to stop casting figures in an unventilated room
.

Greatest thing about playing solo…I always win.

Worst thing….I always lose

…I would never be seen with that guy again.

We did meet for breakfast after we slept with my wife and we do seem to be speaking now???

I always hate when this arse clown sets up a solo game, then has to bail because of this thing called "work" or, even worse, "Army work", which usually happens on the weekends I have free…

:-)

Wot Razor said.

Loved it Russ. Well done.

I was playing a Crimean war scenario, and THIS guy started into our second bottle of Merlot. I'm mean, the nerve, then proceeded to send multiple columns crashing into my Johnny Turk' brigade and wreck it. I mean, who does that? The other guy who had the French was appalled, quelle impossiblè, wouldn't even share the Merlot. We then had to argue which one of us would sleep with our wife that night….

Let me guess, it was you, the other guy was too tanked up on the Merlot.

🤣

Russ at the breakfast table…

Caster: You was cheating last night, you was.
Naster: Wasn't, you're a liar and a sneak.
Caster: I saw you steal a 1/2 inch!
Naster: Wasn't me. Naster never cheats.
Caster: I won't play with you if you cheats!
Naster: "Blows raspberry."

Connie: More kippers?

Both: Yes, please, and we wants them raaaw,…Precious.

Lol !!!
