Pandemic Lagacy Hobart -- September I

So close.  We thought the initial disease break was tricky, with two outbreaks very close to each other.  Things looked bad when we got an epidemic on the first turn.  But none of the outbreaks expanded, and we quickly got all diseases under control.  We were about to cure two diseases, and the game looked so easy to win.  Then we got an epidemic -- a disease broke out next to our two close outbreaks, and then both outbreaks expanded, and in a set of chain reactions we lost the game, just like that.

Stalingrad

Played over 3 days (though I only played the first 2 days)

Game 1 was a fight over a hill.  I was Russian, and had to defend.  At a critical point I failed morale to assault a weakened German position, and ended up being pushed back off the crest.  Loss to me.

Game 2 was the grain elevator.  I had a chance for victory, trying to assault 3 times but being pushed back when the defensive fire rolled above average.  Result was a draw.

Game 3 was an attack to retake a nearby Russian village.  It started off badly when the German artillery kept surviving everything I could throw at it.  But a flank attack by T-70's was extremely successful.  A close game where I scraped a victory.

Highlanders

A scenario at Jim's.  Scots with highlanders vs parliamentarians.

Highlanders were going to charge through the farm fields

Jim was taking my right flank

The parliamentarians plan how to respond

The highlanders charge in!

But the rest of the Scots let the highlanders charge alone.  The attack was unsupported and defeated!

Bruce the Sheeple

Played Agricola.  There was some doubts about the game from Cameron and Martha, but they enjoyed it in the end.

Martha's farm with Bruce the sheep.  Bruce was a pet initially, then put into the pens, and finally he was eaten!  Martha missed the comments about Martha's husband and the sheep -- but then again maybe she didnt and that's why Bruce became food!
  

A scenario from "To Kill a King"

Jim put on a scenario from "To Kill a King".  The Scots are retreating.  Their rearguard is delaying a parliamentarian advance guard.  I was English (Parliamentarian), along with Jim (who was Cromwell) and Steve.  Oakie and Mike were the Scots.

The Parliamentarians move to attack.  The parliamentarian cavalry got bad command dice, so they stayed still.

The troops had to cross a valley with a stream, and then face defenses on the far bank.

The gang deciding what to do.

The English got pushed back!!!

The English cavalry is still not advancing

At this point I stopped taking pictures.  But the English flank march under Cromwell arrived, and the Scots crumbled.  But the Scots did better than historically, and can claim victory!
