D and D   Leave a comment

Our first game of new D and D with the Escape to the Borderlands boxed set went very well.

The Tyranids began with forces held in Reserve. Gargoyles in Deep Strike and Screamer Killer and Psychophage in Strategic Reserve. The Marines went force and the infernus squad took the right-centre building. The Leapers attacked them but were wiped out leaving the way open for the Primes. The infernus were destroyed but the Phobos leader survived and retired.

The Primes held off the assault squad but were then brought down by heavy concentrated firepower. The captain stole the VP point on the far side but this drew out the Screamer Killer who was unstoppable even when the Dreadnaught arrived.

Finally the Terminators took out the Tyranids in the centre, including the Tervigon and Neurotyrant and their guards.

The psychophage and barbagaunts took out the sternguard on the left and the gargoyles snuck around and set up a beacon in the marines deployment zone.

Victory went to the marines by 54 to 52 points! Well done Link.

Journeys in Middle Earth   Leave a comment

Bruce, Mike, Darryl and Phil continued their campaign with the Clueless Five. Having escaped the Balrog they sought to escape the depths of Moria with the Crown.

Victory was achieved but at the cost of quite a few corruption points especially for Phil’s two characters!

Next is the final reckoning. Hope all that corruption does not come back to haunt us!
