War & Peace Games Club

Hello again War & Peace
This week in the Hail Caesar series was the Fall of Pireaus as the Pontiac forces tried to escape their Roman pursuers.
The Abyssal Dwarfs over powered the Ogre forces in the Light the Beacons scenario as the Ogres attempted to signal that Samarik needed aid. This meant another point for Samarik falls in the War & Peace contribution to Mantic’s Kings of War campaign.
We also had some work put in painting to get an Empire of Dust force ready for the Clash of Kings tournament at the beginning of September.
The plan is to move the Kings of War games to 2300 point (tournament sized) armies next week

Welcome back to War & Peace,

This week we played 3 Kings of War games to contribute to Mantic’s Siege of Samarik campaign.

The Empire of Dust lost to the Ogres – 1 victory for Samarik stands. Abyssal Dwarf forces triumphed over the undead a victory for Samarik falls and finally the Dwarfs overcame invading Xirkaali forces so a second victory for Samarik stands.

Our historical contingent were also playing a siege scenario in Hail Caesar, Undermining Sulla’s Mound.

More battles for the Kings of War campaign next week.

Hello War & Peace,
With a few club members otherwise occupied this week it was a quieter time at the club.
Just one game of Kings of War where the Ogres triumphed over the Abyssal Dwarfs in the Stockpile scenario. The ogres split their forces and set up on the two flanks, quickly dominating their right while stalling the right with a grind between the ogre chariots and the abyssal dwarf immortal guard. The ogre shooters drew in the Hellfane in the centre which picked up tokens as it rumbled forward while it was peppered with crossbow bolts. When the Hellfane was close enough the shooters charged forward and pinned it in place while the other ogres came in to support and take their place. This left enough space for some ogre warriors to make off with the tokens.
In the Hail Caesar game the Romans performed a daring night raid on the city of Piraeus, but in the end decided to go home early.
More fun and games next week

Hi War & Peace,
A busy gaming night this week, a full historical table with a castle as the siege of Athens was played out.
3 tables of Kings of War 1500 point games – Empire of Dust vs Abyssal Dwarfs, Forces of Nature vs Ogres and Undead vs Xirkaali with a random variety of scenarios played out.
Count Binface is now the leader of the Undead forces and bravely stood against a horde of Xirkaali Warriors
Lots of dice rolled and models removed from tables.

Greetings once again War & Peace,

Another get together and some more battles
More Hailing of Caesar took place with lots of spiky sticks, elephants and stabby Romans.
Our Kings of War tables moved up to 1500 points and to 6 x 4 foot battlefields. The Ogres and Abyssal Dwarfs faced off and victory went to the Abyssal Dwarfs. On the other table two types of undead stared one another down as the Empire of Dust fought Undead, a dry vs damp battle. Victory went to the Empire of Dust with the newly painted Idol of Shobik being the star player

Hello War & Peace,
A quick report on the battles we had at the club this week.
One Hail Caesar conflict and a couple of Kings of War Ambush battles.
We welcomed a new army to War & Peace as the Forces of Nature joined our Kings of War conflicts in a close fought battle against the Abyssal Dwarfs.
We are moving up to 1500 point games next week, no more Ambush, so titans and warlords may be sighted on the table

Hope you aren’t melting in this heat War & Peace…
It was a hot one this week, so I’m going to keep this brief
Two tables of Kings of War (1000 points) Ogres and Abyssal Dwarfs (played 2 games) and Undead versus Xirkali.
One tablet of Hail Caesar complete with elephant, and temple to a Apollo (not just a space Greek Warrior painted Gold).
More games next week.

Hail War & Peace,

This week the baggage train must get through in the Hail Caesar game. The Delivering Supplies to Athens scenario was played. The carts didn’t make much progress up the board by the end of the evening, it turns out that dead Romans don’t make good roads. (A lot of Romans died which slowed down the movement of the supplies)

Kings of War made it’s return to the tabletop with four 1000 point Ambush armies battled to allow us to refresh ourselves with the rules. The Ogres were beaten by the Empire of Dust in a game of Kill and the new to the table Xirkali beat the Abyssal Dwarfs in a game of Push.

The evening finished off with some Monty Python Fluxx

Phew!, What a scorcher
The heat didn’t put off the gamers at War & Peace this week.

The Old Guard played against the Slammers in an Urban Rumble match in another DreadBall All Stars playtest match. Things were fairly evenly matched until Nightshade from the Slammers got hold of a Shiv and proceeded to slice up a number of Old Guard Players

The Battle outside Chaeronea was the site of our Hail Ceasar game this week and featured a unit comprising a lot of pointy sticks. The conclusion was that if one was ever to encounter said unit the best way for the sticks to point would be away.
Hopefully the temperature will cool off a little for next week, but not the gaming as some of us are heading back to Pannithor for some Kings of War

Hello War & Peacers

This week we had a couple of tables running, one with another battle of Hail Caesar and a second with some more DreadBall All Stars playtesting.

In All Stars we had a 3 player Battle Royale Arena match involving the Old Guard, the Sabrecats and the Painkillers. We adjusted the Painkillers a little to make their Boost ability a little more punishing, they as still as hard hitting as ever, being boosted just takes more out of them. The Painkillers were in the lead at the beginning of the second period, but ran out of steam as the end of the period approached. The Sabrecats scrabbled to a win with the last activation with a Lucky Logan strike in the central hub.

There was also space for some hobbying as skeletons were constructed for an Empire of Dust army for Kings of War

See you next week
