Open Combat skirmish wargame "Road of Blood" part3

 

Dug out my game maps and played the "The road of Blood" Conan seeking to destroy the Vampires of the deep, he moves through a very dangerous terrain the Lava fields. Radukar the wolf ponders and points to his Dire wolf mistress Belladamma Volga "Ensnare him and destroy the Barbarian"

Laid out the Lave pages from my wilderness maps books, and set up the forces, the confrontation deployment i liked as Conan and his party enter they are suddenly surrounded by Dire wolves and vampires.

The game was fast the wolves attacking with there speed and the push back sending 2 warriors into the lave (I rolled a D6 for fortitude loss). Conan using the height of the rock he was on struck and slew 2 wolves the out, his warriors laying around him he faced Bellaamma moving in for the kill. but A brave warrior struck a crimson Court vampire down and Bellamma realized she was lost in a cloud her and the last vampire vanished. Victory for Conan to move on deeper in the darkness..

Great game I thought the Vampires had won but they lost all there Wolves and the vampires loss tipped the score. Maps work for me and as always the game is fun.

Dune game using S&S one hour skirmish rules

 Tried the  S&S rules out  and used my Dune collection simple scenario attack a Sardaukar base with the defenders split in the open and buildings, I quickly used the points and made some fast profiles and surprised to find they looked  perfect for the game, the Fremen had first card and advanced from two sides, they were engaged quickly by the defenders and  a series of interesting melee fights started, the combat is different in S&S and gave for me a great flow and a more tactical game , the  Sardaukar emerged and  engaged the Fremen I found the swords with a range of 1" became  deadly as the zone offered another card in attack, but the daggers of the Fremen and there faster move  evened the scale, the fights became more brutal and the Fremen started to loose more men, even the  appearance of there leader could not  help the attack and a morale card  proved the Fremen were defeated and had to back off. a victory to the  Sardaukar. 

For me  it worked very well in the context of the game, the weapons  and armor save add a lot to the over all system and the hit table is great to resolve a fight I think in the game I had 6 instant kills. Loads of fun and an interesting world to try again, looking forward to the book when its published. I urge players to give it a go.

The Day of the Tyrant (One page rules game)

 I have relay enjoyed reading and trying the One page rules, and decided to use some of my collection old and new. the rules have  army lists and i picked whet suited my forces, I was involved in Golgo island and  Neutron York 3K so i wanted to use some  madness from there. and my collection of 3D prints I wanted to use my thunder warriors so sides were set.

The Banana Tyrant, his second in command the Robomonster, along with a horde of Zorgl's and his  creation the giant mutant hamster Gilbertina.

A force Commander, Ritual Sister and  3 squads of Thunder warriors..

3 objective down the center, I always random the deployments and 4 turns

The Tyrants army charged forward, hoping to swamp the Thunder warriors as they outnumbered 

them 4-1

Gilbertina charged forward she tore and ripped into the Thunder warriors there knives only wounding her but her claws and teeth ripped a Thunder warrior to pieces,

As the Zorgl hordes charged for ward blaster fire took its toll they smashed into the superman slaying only one but suffering many more forging them back.

The force commander was attacked his blade wiping out the attackers

More Zorgl's charged into the Thunder warriors ranks

The tyrants death ray striking down another Warrior his second in command taking an objective

The Zorgl's charged again into the Thunder Warriors

Gilbertina relentless in her carnage she pushed the armored fighters back

The Tyrant attacks the few  Remaining warriors in the Center but there Armour  takes out his attacks, he commands Gilbertian to stand over the third objective she reluctantly back;s off as the Thunder warriors pour fire onto her making slight waves into her frame

The Ritual sister slays  two Zorgls then  charges the  huge mutant

  The Thunder warriors  fire power is talking its toll on the mutant hamster

The Zorgls charge again

"Stay your ground victory is ours" the Tyrant shouts he holds all three objectives

The force commander charges and slays a Zorgl holding an objective

In a desperate move the Ritual sister charges the huge mutant her blade cutting deep.

But she fails to slay the monster, victory to the Tyrant... the thunder warriors back off taking there wounded and dead with them. Very fast enjoyable game and the numbers work.

One page rules for me is a great fun easy game, and it works! I would suggest anyone who has large collections or any number of miniatures SF of fantasy to take a look
