I'm Back and So Is Gaming

 So it has been a while since I posted. I've moved into my new home, but my miniatures hobby is severely constrained right now by a lack of storage. This means that my books and my hobby materials must stay in their boxes for now.

On the bright side, I contacted the good folks at KEGS and they got me in touch with some guys in Windsor who game. After checking our bubbles and our vax status, we got together for a game of Dux.

It turns out that I have played a few games with Frank already. He's put on quite a few games at Hot Lead in the past and I've participated in a couple.

So it was Frank and Andrew as Irish facing off against myself and Cain as raiding Picts. Random set up and terrain led this really being two separate battles with Cain and Andrew quickly facing off against each other.

While Frank struggled through terrain and deployment limitations before he could face off against me.

Things went sour quickly for Andrew as a sudden surge by Picts caught Irish slingers and cavalry off guard. 

A brief Irish counterattack momentarily halted the Picts.

But the Picts recovered to resume the onslaught. 

The closeness of the table edge just hastened the end as main Irish forces routed.

On my side of the board. I took advantage of the traffic jam caused by the mountains. I rushed Frank's Irish before they could get fully deployed into a line. 

A bit of bloody back and forth happened while Andrew's force collapsed and time ran out.

It was great to game in person again. I want to thank Frank for hosting and Andrew and Cain for a fun and interesting game.
