Another HOGS night
Played Tokaido, Dominion, and werewolf.
Tim, who is in a mobility scooter, was incredibly quick on the uptake, and almost got victories in all games, even though they were the first times he had played them.

After games I found the road up Tolmans Hill so icy that I had to park and walk!!!!

Finally, Art de la Guerre
Finally, the planets aligned, and we got to play Art de la Guerre.
I am sure we got many rules wrong. I know we got flanking wrong for the first few flank attacks. But the overall feel of the game was right. Things were as you would expect them to be!
I was Roman:
Brilliant Commander with 12 units of legionarries
Brilliant Commander with 2 unites of equites, 2 units of auxiliaries, and 1 unit of archers
Competent commander with 4 units of auxiliaries, 1 unit of equites, and 2 units of skirmishers
Rod was German:
Competent commander with 16 warriors and 2 skirmishers
Competent commander with 4 units of elite cavalry and 2 units of javelinmen
Ordinary commander with 4 units of elite warriors.
The battle was a straight field battle, with the warriors lined up against the legionairres, and lighter troops on the flanks.
Rod's elite heavy infantry took ages to get through the woods, and then ran into some nervous auxilia -- whom they crushed!
But in the center the legionaries were winning a slow grind. The barbarians never got enough command dice to bring up their flanking forces
On the other flank the cavalry forces squared off. The Germans crushed the Roman Auxilia, but the Roman cavalry rolled hot dice and crushed their German counterparts.
The barbarian center collapsed. But the game was close -- the romans were one unit away from breaking too!
We finished with time for another game, so we broke out Dominion. It was Rod's first game, so it took a while for him to see the combo's that were possible. By the time he realised, it was too late.

Kristian's Amazing Dominion Run
Played Dominion after work at the office.
Two games. Kristian won both. I came second in the first game, and last (by a long way) in the second game.
The first game was myself, Mal, Dave, and Kristian. A close game.
Mal had a hangover and had to leave.
In the second game, Kristian managed to build a strong hand, capable of amazing runs of plays. In one play he went through his whole deck, getting 39 money and uncounted buys and actions! (Given a typical play that gets over 5 money is good, this was amazing!)
