Sorry for the long delay, Blogger's been a bit iffy lately, couldn't get into my own blog for nearly three months, just kept jamming up on me...maybe I need a new machine?!
I haven't been as active as I should be, as I recently moved and had to find all the stuff again...but we're up and running again! Bury WarGamers is just gaining strength, almost becoming a business (as Capt. Stevo accidently put it on Saturday). Our first Vet's evening was a total success, with 11 Veterans and Symon (Runik Games, Ipswich) showing up for the league games (Warmachine). Fish and chips and (snicker) Saveloys being enjoyed by all.
The new Tour (Bloodstone Borderlands) sees us facing off with much more intricate scenario rules and much more to get your head around than simple 'Caster kills. With the League using all of the points systems this Tour we have much more to consider when in combat.
As a result all the games-500pnts mostly- went on for over two hours, with opponents fighting in much more protracted battles on more complex Primary victory conditions. Very few actually met the criteria to gain Primary victory and some games (including my own-against Mark) not finishing with a concrete result in the 6th round.
Victory points were added up and LP were calculated. So Symon's gonna have his spreadsheet filling up quickly with all sorts of outcomes. The PP guys have stepped up the pace and this will obviously have a trickle-down effect to the players, forcing more strategic moves and better troop/unit choices from the players.
So, head-sore and frag'd we left after 10pm, pretty much all smiles, whether we won or lost.
A Great gaming evening, and no screaming, fighting, crying, argueing, teaching, organising, pulling-out-of-hair...Wonderful. Lets keep it up guys, it was Fab!
