Wow, it's been a long time since I posted.
In terms of gaming, it has been pretty quiet. I went to Hot Lead. I started to create a post for it but never got around to finishing it. I unpacked a couple more gaming boxes into my hobby area but that is far as I got.
But I did go to KEGSCon last weekend in Chatham. I ran a game of Chain of Command, which went fairly well. I find that most CoC gamers in conventions tend to be cautious, and this game was no exception. While the Russians were getting pretty shot up, since we were playing the Probe scenario, they did have a chance for a win if they got some good movement rolls and resolutely pushed on.

In the afternoon, I played in a game of late medieval Swiss against Burgundians. The Swiss really need to close quickly and get stuck in, but were doomed by poor morale rolls at inopportune times.

Other games included an IABSM featuring a British assault on a German fortified hill late D-Day.
Looks like some fun games!
ReplyDeleteYes, I had fun running the CoC game.
DeletePlaying in the Swiss vs Burgundians was fun, though a bit frustrating because of how everyone on the Swiss side would blow morale rolls at the most inopportune time. I'm on the right in that picture and right after we took it, the halberdiers took some arrows and promptly rolled badly on the morale check. It got almost comical towards the end.
Some nice looking tables
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a pretty good. A small convention in terms of numbers but the quality of the tables was there.
