Trying other clubs

 Went to Area 52 Game night.  Way too much magic and young players playing light games.  Then went to the Blackmans Bay Community Center Games Group - much more my style.

I also bought a German company to prevent Blue on Blue.  Had some really good games. 
Game 1 was a draw.   I was on the objectives, but the Germans kept contesting it, and we timed out.

Game 2 was a disaster.  I was against Nick Ridge's German light panzers.  I couldnt kill them.  But they couldnt kill me.  As it was a defensive mission, they won.

Game 3 was against Rusty's poles.  I was using my Germans.  I held on for a win -- but it was touch and go for a while.

Game 4 was against Griggsy.  He had no naswer to my Matilda as they walked to the objective.

Game 5 was against Robs BAR.  I was using my Germans, and I had no answer to the thousands of small tanks.  How did the British lose in France?

I ended up in the middle of the pack, but it was a great 2 days!

It was also a robotics weekend, so I played Scythe with the robotics kids!

Fishing, Games, and Games

Went fishing.

On the way home stopped at the Bolt Action competition at Area 52.





Michael, Cameron, and Ursula came over for dinner and we played the advanced Coup.

Imperial Assault

I went to the Imperial Assault game day at Area 52.  Only 1 other person showed up!!!!  But we played a skirmish game -- somewhere on Tatooine, Luke, C3P0, and three wookies were fighting the empire.  The empire won -- but it was close -- the wookies walked through stormtroopers like a hot knife through butter.  But a cannon on a vehicle knocked the wookies down, and a flurry of blaster bolts felled Luke.  With only C3P0 remaining I conceded.

The game was a blast!!!  An absolute blast!!!!   I now have to paint more of my troops!!!!

The wookies charge in!


Luke goes down in a blaze of glory!
