Lion Rampant Wars of the Roses

Lots going on in "the real world" for me at the moment. A situation that's likely to continue for a while.

So I'm way behind on posting up some games and also gaming has slowed right down.

This is a game I played with General B way back at the end of April. I can't really remember what happened at all, so here's the eye candy.

Lion Rampant with General B. is always a good time, so I'm sure it was great fun. I expect I won a resounding victory. Or that I suffered a humiliating defeat. 

Wormaster 2026 - Game Three: Kislev v Wood Elves

And so to the final game. Usually every Warmaster Tournament I go to I end up playing regular opponent Alan. Only Alan couldn't make it this time, so instead in game three I ended up playing regular opponent Andy with his Wood Elves. Which was all good with me.

The table was ludicrously scenery heavy. The organisers were experimenting with ways to reduce the (IMO entirely fictitious) perceived dominance of heavy cavalry in the game. It certainly had the effect of making my Kislev army quite hard to use, though I'm not sure that was the intention.

How much terrain is too much terrain...?

Ummm....

TBH I really can't remember the game at all. I know Andy and I had a fun time, because we always do when we play soldiers.

Fighting, in a field.

Hmmm, this looks quite bad, actually.

Few, a field to hide in.

More field based combat,

Lets have a fight on this open ground, here!

More Wood Elf cavalry catching more Kislev cavalry

Again, this looks less than ideal from a Kislev perspective.

More killing and death going on here.

A jolly good fun game. Which I lost. Standard.

 And so that was the end of Wormaster 2026. A fabulous event as always. Three great games with three great opponents.

Wormaster 2026 - Game Two: Kislev v Chaos

 Ok, time has very much moved on and my memory is growing dim, but here's the pictures and what little I can remember from game two.

After my unexpected success in round one I found myself at the dizzy heights of table ten where i was to face Connor and his Chaos.

We were in the desert. of course we were, Where else would Kislev be most likely to fight Chaos, eh?

My light horse crested a hill - there was something special about the hill, hence the card underneath it, but I have no idea what.

Chaos and Kislev soon came to blows beneath a towering pyramid.

Dogs versus horse on a sandy plain - the classic trope.

Nice and warm in their floor length, fur-lined, crimson coats the red guard stood...erm...guard.

It wasn't all just sand. there was a field too. Presumably irrigated in some way.

Mostly the Chaos men stood about in the ruins. Their shiny heavy all encompassing armour making it a very pleasant experience no doubt.

The dogs and the horse archers were chasing one another around the Spinx.

The field proved a useful defence against the first wave of Chaos attack.

Less so against the second

In the shadow of the Sphinx the last winged lancer tumbled to a sandy demise

A pretty comprehensive loss this one. Outplayed and outfought.

Great fun though.
