C&C x 3

 A Command & Colors evening.  WW1, Ancients, and Medieval.  

I lost the medieval game when Jon rolled 4 casualties (4 x 1 in 6), followed by a leader kill -- another 1 in 6.  The gods really hated me!

New Blood!

 John, a friend of Olivers, joined for a Command And Colors one off Monday game.

Marathon!

 Ross came over and we played Arkham Horror.  Then Ross went home for a break, before coming back for Tuesday Night Wargames.

Tuesday night we split into two -- Rass and Cameron played to a draw in ADLG, while Jon and Simon did great war.

How long has it been?

Many, many months ago I set up a WWI C&C game.  We finally got to play it.  Followed by the next chapter in Arkham Horror Dream Eaters.

Wingspan for the Win WITH WAR

 Taught Maria and Marina how to play Wingspan.  I won -- but I only beat Marina by 1 point!

Earlier, Ross came over and we knocked off a couple of C&C games.  One each if I recall.

Wargames Night

 Command and Colors variants!

A Command and Colors Evening

 

A Keene Starter

 Added Andrew to the usual wargames crew.  He can only make it once a month - but he is a keen player.

We did 3 lots of command and colors.

- Leuctra using Command and Colors Ancients

- Somme using Great War

- 4th scenario (whose name I forget) in Command and Colors Medieval.

Command and Colors Fest (again)

 We did another Great War and Command and Colors Ancients evening.  Platea and then the Somme.  Since we only had 3 players we didnt do the swap boards plan we had.

Command and Colors Fest

 Two games of Command and Colors.  The plan was to play a game, and then swap tables.  We played:

- Ancients - the battle of Himera.  I, as Syracuse, lost to Cameron as Carthaginians.  Ross and Simon played two games, swapping sides.  Simon won both.

- Great War - Somme scenario #2.  Simon won as British.  I also won as British, but my victory was 7-6 against Cameron, so really close.

The great War with Hannibal!

 Simon came over.  We started off with Great War - the first of the Somme battles.  I started well, but Simon (as the British) got into the trenches and all went downhill from there.  But a great game.

We then moved on to Hannibal.  We didnt get that far.  I thought I had a chance to kill Hannibal, but even attacking at 2 to 1 odds AND with a card advantage, Hannibal pulled off a major victory!  I expect in the long run Simon would have won, but we called time.

Great War #7

 Simon, with the British, had to take the German trenches.  He won easily, but after the game I checked how we were playing Temporary Objectives and we had it all wrong.

After Great War we went on to play Saga.  Simon got 11 points to my 10 - a draw (you need 4 points more than the opponent to win)

Back to the Trenches

 Great War scenario #6 with Simon.

A close game that could have gone either way, but Simon played his cards better.

Command and Colors Double

In the morning I introduced Leon to Command and Colors Great War (scenario #5).  Then in the evening Ross came over for more Command and Colors Ancients.
