Notre Scythe

 Christina's again.  Started with Scythe, and then moved on to Notre Dame.

Cristine's Crew

 Scythe with Christine and co.  Everyone thought I was about to win, but on the last turn Christine attacked me and took enough territory to grab the win!

Christines Birthday

 Played Scythe at Christines place.  We did the random map variant, which adds a lot to the game.  We then went on to play 7 Wonders with the leaders expansion, which was also great!

Alone!

House to myself, so I invited a bunch of friends over for games!  We played Deep Sea Adventure, then a numbers game I dont know the name of, and then Scythe.

Scythe ring in

Games night at Christine's.  The consensus was Scythe.  I bumbled along and didn't do that well -- which was OK.

Rise of Fenris #8

Our last Rise of Fenris.  Given my poor starting position, could I manage to scrape a win?  A totally different set of victory conditions really helped!

In the end, I won the game and campaign.  But it was immense fun.  With robots with death rays, mad monks, mad scientists, etc.

Thanks to Christine for arranging it!

FOW States

Played in the Kingston Kup competition.

I took two lists, chosen randomly.  My mail list was British Infantry Tank.

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!

Rise of Fenris #7

Our second last game for Rise of Fenris.  I got moved to a new start position -- the normal Nordic start position.  Except my workers didnt have the 'swim' ability to get to useful locations.  I was trapped.  I managed to build transport, but by the time I got my engine going I was a long way behind.

Rise of Fenris #6

No spoilers.

I won, but didnt get 6 stars.  And big, terrifying Robots everywhere.  And next game they will be coming for me!

Rise of Fenris #5

Playing the Rise of Fenris campaign.  A new faction appeared.  (Wont say anything, because of spoilers)

I won - though it was close.

Scythed by the newbie!

Cassy joined us.  She had only played Scythe once before.  That didnt stop her trouncing us!!!

Rise of Fenris #4

I didnt get to play #3, but my replacement ran hogwild and won.  So my faction has changed.  I wont say anything because of spoilers.

I didnt win this round, but still managed to get 5 stars.

Scything down Hogs

Went to HOGS, and was roped into a large Scythe game.  I never got my engine going, and didnt do well at all.  After Scythe I joined Ticket to Ride, which I had never played.  A slow start while figuring out the game, but finished well!
