Jack won and had to wear the Easter Bunny Ears.
We started the Path to Carcosa campaign. I am a seeker, Ross is a magician, and Jack is a fighter. The first scenario went well!
Cass arrived early, and we started off with Netrunner. What a great game! Then we moved on to Tigris and Euphrates. And finally we played DeCrypto.
Triumph and Tragedy. Cameron was German. In 36 he invaded France, and won. In 37 he invaded Russia -- and he almost got to Moscow. But he ran out of steam and the allied meat grinder powered up.
Simon introduced us to Rapid Fire, using Rapid Fire Reloaded. It was so much fun. Even more impressive was all the terrain I 3D printed for the battle - roads, hedge bases, field bases.
As the defender I lost - but it was close and I gutted the attackers!
What a great game! I was Axis, Simon was USSR, and Cameron was the west.
The Axis started out strong, building up an impressive industrial base.
The USSR declared war on the Axis, and invaded through Sweden. The advance was stalled, but the German economy was crippled through lack of resources. Poland was neutral and was a buffer preventing USSR aggression in Eastern Europe.
The West declared war on the USSR, and advanced up from India. This didnt go well -- within a year India was occupied by the USSR.
The Axis really pushed on the diplomatic front, and managed to resurrect a lot of their economy.
At this point we called time. The USA had entered the war, and the West was poised to attack the Axis from France - which would have been hard to stop.
Finally got this to the table after about 6 months of trying. The game hols up, even being well over 40 years old.
Simon crushed me. Hannibal had a revolt in Spain as the first diplomatic issue. This weakened his advance into southern France. Scipio Africanus appeared on the first turn, and attacked Hannibal, who lost and was killed. It was all downhill from there!
Played Art de la Guerre with Carl. His games room is amazing. Not the least because of the vintage games stuff he has!
Carl crushed me. Another turn and his pikes in the center would have folded -- but his flanks both won convincingly.
Two games of Command and Colors Medieval using miniatures. We did the left and right flanks of the Catalun Fields. Ross won the first scenario easily, and I won the second in a slug fest - so overall victory to Ross.
