Cory and I were waiting around for everyone else to show up last night, so we decided to play a 35 point game. I aplogize to Cory and Kevin for playing so slow since they had a game planned ahead of time. I didn’t think Kevin would be there as early as he was and I didn’t think the game would go on so long. Perhaps I should start trying to stick to the 7 – 10 minute turns in Hardcore or something.
Anyway…this game was my second for the Blasted Heath league. I won a 4 player King of the Hill game the previous week against Joel, Cory and Jim.

This week was supposed to be the “finale” for the first leg of the Shattered Grounds league. There was suppoed to be a drawing for a gift card and a coin given out for the winner of the league. Since Joel had played and won the most games, he was likely to be declared the winner, but Phil never showed up to present it to him. At the end of the night, Justin won the gift card. Joel and Justin had just finished playing a game with Fiona fighting Nemo. Fiona won through a pretty cool trick using the Togash Mark spell.
Brian and I decided to play a 35-point refresher game (for him) with his brand new Menoth models. I changed my list up just a tad by bringing the Great Bears of Gallowswood and resisted the urge to bring the Behemoth instead of the Destroyer (and some other things).

Below are two battle reports for the game that is “The New, but Old Hotness”, Warmachine. I’m really enjoying playing this game again, like I did back in 2003 (or was it ‘04?), which is pretty awesome considering I came to a point where I hated playing the game.
Last Wednesday I finally had the opportunity to play Dave in a game of Warmachine. Up until then, I think we’d only played a couple of games of Legend of the Five Rings and a “demo” game of Uncharted Seas. We decided on 50 points for this game as I wanted to test out my Old Witch list that I made up and started painting over the last few weeks. This being my second ever game of Warmachine using Khador, I figured I’d probably lose badly. Dave has been playing Retribution over hte last little while and seems to be enjoying them and had yet to play against Khador with them.

Last Thursday I got in another game of Warhammer 40,000 using my Tyranids. There’s a couple that come to Gamerz just about every Thursday to play Warhammer 40K. I believe their names are Nick and Amanda, but I’m not 100% sure (I apologize if either of you are reading this!). They mentioned to me a couple of weeks ago that they were tired of playing each other, so I made sure to bring my 40K stuff in case they were still burned out.
When I arrived, they were going through some D&D stuff, but Nick was still all about throwing down versus the Nids. We decided on 1,500 points and lists were started!

Fred and I met up at Games To Die For last night to play some Star Wars Miniatures. After picking up the Ogre Kingdoms book (since I forgot to get it on Monday) and waiting until 6:30 in case Joe showed up, we finally got started. First game was my Bounty Hunters vs. his New Republic. Read More »

All this time I thought the Kyuden Hida from Celestial Edition was identical to the Kyden Hida from diamond (I believe). Turns out that since the new Kyuden Hida says “Reaction: After the resolution of an action whose effects attached a Follower from your hand: Draw a card.” (emphasis mine) and Secluded Outpost is a trait of the Holding, not an action, the two no longer interact. With that in mind, I’ll be switching to Shattered Peaks Castle.
I did get to eyeball Jeremy’s Crab deck and it looks like there’s a ton of money rares in there that I either can’t find or can’t afford. However, I think with the cash I have spent on the cards I got, I have a pretty decent deck. Now I just need to make time to play it.

Joel and I played Infinity almost a week ago on Thursday. We were going to be playing with the new 2nd edition rules, so I tried to vary my army up a little bit to test out some of the changes. Joel had also warned me he’d likely be using a TAG. I’ve only ever played against one once (Jim’s Armored Cavalry) and it gave me fits. So, I tried using a lot of AP weapons and a hacker to try out some hacking.
My army:
- Janissaire Lieutenant
- Janissaire w/HMG
- Tuareg Doctor
- Djanbazan w/HMG
- Nafftun w/Light Flamethrower x2
- Ragik Hacker
- Hassassin Fiday w/AP CCW
- Kum Biker w/AP CCW x2
His army (I don’t know the Nomad army very well, so these are guesses):
- Szalamandra
- Securitate
- Aguacil w/HMG
- Aguacil Forward Observer
- Aguacil x2
- Meteor Remote
- Zoe & Pi Well
- Intruder
Once we laid out terrain and chose sides, we rolled for deployment. I deployed first placing the Tuareg doctor toward the center of the board in hopes of being able to rescue some folks once they had moved forward. The Lieutenant was deployed on top of a short building, but just far enough away from cover to not benefit from it. Fiday got deployed just outside his deployment zone in some pretty good cover. Everyone else was pretty much out of LoS.
This game went pretty quick. In round 1 he killed my Lieutenant (bad placement) and one of my Nafftuns. In my round 1 I took out the Aguacil with HMG and some other lackeys with the Fiday. Of course, the next round he got taken out himself. Later on I managed toPossess his TAG, but not really cause much damage with it, not to mention we did the BTS roll incorrectly. In the end, I conceded due to losses.
TAGs are a real pain and if you’re not properly prepared for them, can really ruin your day. It was still fun game, though.
