AAR: Bolt Action: 1st Polish Vs Germans

  This was a game that was played in November, but it is better late than never on posting. It has been a rough month in the gaming world for my wife and I. Actually, it is more of a issue on my end. Retail tends to be very busy in the Christmas season. In this case, I have been working constantly. This is why the postings have been light. However, this one of those games that had to happen, because it is one of gaming rivals, Joe, who wanted to play.  This was his first time playing his Polish troops against me. However, he was up two games ahead of me in wins. Joe is one of my few fellow gamers that I actually keep up on wins and losses. This is mainly, because neither of us actually take our games seriously. Somehow, our games are very violent.
     Anywho, we played a rather strait up fight. This was only a test of the emergency Polish Power and King Tiger. This was only a test. Yes, I was using a half painted King Tiger just to see if it did any good. I have a history of Tigers missing every shot. In our game, the King Tiger did fairly well. I was able to kill infantry. I could not hit armor for the life of me. The same can go for my sniper, but that is another story. I lost a lot of infantry in our game, but the Polish lost more. Joe and I know we will have another rematch. Who knows what game system it will be, but I look forward to it. Below are the rest of the photos. Enjoy!

AAR: Bolt Action: Farmland Ambush!

    It appears that I am getting lazy on posting on this blog of late. Or it at least it seems. However, the truth of the matter is that it is getting really busy lately. I have been recently training people at work, since a bunch of people quit around the same time. I cannot be mad at them for their timing, since no one was "Rage Quitting" at work. It was just bad timing. However, it has made gaming a little harder to do as of late. This has also affected my gaming recently. This game was played a week and a half ago, but we had fun with it. So POW! We have a post!
   This was a quick Bolt Action game that Kalissa and I played. It was just a simple killfest, but it ended in a "Draw" My German sniper should be fired for being a terrible shot. The Armored 222 car was not much better, but it survived the game. I rolled ones for the Panther. A Cromwell HE shelled my poor mortar team that wanted to play a part in the battle. I guess some units do not get theirs. Anyway, here are the rest of the photos. Enjoy!

AAR: Lord Of The Rings: A game is Georgia.

      On a recent weekend, Kalissa and I travelled down to Atlanta, Ga to visit her parents and to go to my brother's wedding. At this point, we were still not 100% on the wedding plans. However, that is besides the point. We mainly were down for the wedding. Everything else was just a bonus. It has been nine years, since Kalissa and I had been in the Atlanta Metro Area, so we figured we would try to play a game between down time of events. We originally start wargaming with Flames of War playing at the Kennesaw, Ga Hobbytown, U.S.A.
    Since we have been gone, there has been a new gaming venue that appeared. So we wanted to check it out. Giga-Bites Cafe is in Marietta, Ga  not far from where I grew up. We went there and decided to play a quick game of Lord of the Rings. In a normal clash of our games, it was a slaughter on my end of the game. I lost all of the Orcs only to kill nine Rohan Warriors. I know that we mentioned playing a short game, but it was all over by turn four. I was okay with this, since it gave some more time to look around the store and buy things! We got away with a fairly light load of terrain and some gangster casualties for Chicago at 50% off. The venue of Giga-Bites Cafe was really nice. It had a nice larger gaming area amongst two rooms, a cafe, and a rather large selection of gaming figures and paints  in a shopping area the size of a small bookstore. I wish they would have more places like this in the country.
    Anyway, it was a good weekend of family and gaming. These are my slaughter pictures with my happy wife. Enjoy!

There was a chance that the Rohan Riders were sent by Darth Vader, but I can't be too sure!
