Citadel of Terror ( 7TV Fantasy )

 

Long time with no games and finally got my Mojo to do one again, I got the new 7TV Fantasy supplement and cards etc, and decided  why not,. As always its easy to build your casts the cards are easy I considered the new format a bit daunting as I have played every version of the game system, but  I once laid out used the old tactic of reading the back when activated just to ensure you got the rules right, I am competent in the game play and rolled to find another escape scenario.

Two casts for the visual feast, Ragnar the hero, his body guard the fearsome Anne the Hammer, Elf assassin were tasked with  escorting the  princess La through the dead city of Korma. The Red queen had other plans and sent her savage Orc warlord Tusk and his tribe to capture the Princess, stage set and cards  shuffled.

                         Ragnar and Anne with kito the elf assassin and  a group of warriors as back up

Tusk Orc warlord, his back up Orc Dregg and a mixture of Hobgoblins Orcs, Ogres and Sabre tooth tiger to fill in..

The dead City of Korma..

Dregg and his  clan prepare to ambush the Humans

Ragnar  enters the City

Princess La

Below is a cut description of the game, enjoy.

Tusk had sent ahead the Tiger and Ogre in hiding to stop the  humans til his  Orcs got close.

The Ogre tries to hide

The Tiger spots a archer and pounces direct

The Archer is dead in seconds by the fangs of the Animal

The Ogre laughs hearing the screams

Anne speeds up the stairs to the roof tops and with a blow swats the Tiger off the  roof it falls stunned on the hard floor below

Kita strikes  ending the beast

Ragnar engages the advancing Orcs

The huge Dregg piles forward seeking a fight

Anne grips her hammer and charges the huge Orc, Ragnar  makes a bloody path to the flank.

A warrior faces an ambush

Anne  strikes but not enough to fell the huge Orc who staggers back

Husk strikes only to face  Ragnars warriors who  dispatch him and a round of combat (very, very bad dice rolls)

Dregg side steps and crack open a Anne's head she falls dead.

Ragnar slays a hidden hobgoblin 

As Dregg laughs after killing poor Anne a warrior drives his sword into the  giant Orcs neck. as he falls and the Orcs look around they are  now outnumbered with no leaders and sulk off into the ruins, Ragnar escapes the city with the Princess, victory for the forces of Good... 

Very enjoyable game to get back into 7TV the system as always works, and is  what it is FUN!

Bring Out Your Lead 25 Saturday 9th August

Another fantastic day at BOYL the games were perfect so much talent on the table miniatures terrain and content, I believe they get better every year, the amount of work combine  is astonishing and brings me joy at the tables and the players gaming on them. 

Saturday means the "we don't do a painting competition", and this year was so difficult as a judge we had the honor of the great Kevin Dallimore as guest judge and he like us struggled, the shear content was intense, I took as many pictures as I could. the worthy winners were the tops.

I wander the event talking and seeing old friend's and  making new ones your company is of the highest. and a pleasure to be with you. Kevin Adams was again sculpting heads on miniatures for charity and to the delight of those who wanted them.

My thanks to Diane and family for there care of me. and the staff at Foundry, Garth as always a star, and Big Mike for his time and observations, to all play games, enjoy and have fun, be safe my friends till next year........
