wargamesdiary   A diary of war games and board games

Two good games. Lost first round of Star Wars but came through on the second. However may have used a sketchy tactic in the end game with playing multiple dice on more than one card at a time during the end game. Guillhotine was fun, Phil won thanks to too much red wine!

Played this with Link and Zelda. Link enjoyed it and he won . Good game. Zelda got it at a charity store .

Bruce Mike and Phil played Batman who laughs and won. New game. Was good.

Next we played a game of Bees. Bruce won thanks to good use of his hives.

More figures and terrain painted. Basing will be done later.

The difference between 32mm and 25mm is making me think I need to resize the larger figures for a more consistent size.

Played a game with Link . Batman and Robin had to deactivate the computers before Hush could steal the gold by opening the vault.

Both heroes rushed forwards ignoring the henchmen and took out Todd . Then Robin released tear gas and hacked a computer . This gas was highly effective against the henchmen. Using its cover the heroes then ran to the far side hacked another computer and used C4 to blow a hole in the wall . Finally Batman got the password from the hostage and deactivated the final computer ignoring the henchmen and getting away from clay face who lumbered in pursuit . Well played Link .

Batman Gothic city chronicles.

Phil was overlord against Mike Darryl and Bruce. Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn tried to animate plants and invade the city. The heroes won.

Next day Link played a two player game. Batman defused 2 of the 3 bombs before time ran out. So villains won.

The final scenario in Ghost Stone for Rangers of Shadowdeep. Due to previous successes they were aided by three soldiers and the first event card would wait until turn 4. The distraction had proved useful. Link and Gwalchmai led the group tasked with guiding the sorcerer to the stone in order to destroy it with her powerful magic. They also had the scrolls and the stone ring from previous scenarios which they gave to the sorcerer tasked with destroying the stone.

Birdo is taking damage fast .

The sword turns out to be a 9 of clubs enchanted sword . Birdo and Steel blaze will recover from their wounds. Emilia found 4 healing potions which are distributed. Birdo uses his armoury skill to unlock all the sword’s potential and link claims it. The sorcerer may join them again if they can be persuaded.

For now however the ghost stone is silenced and the kings armies are able to hold back the evil for some time more .

With their colleagues creating a distraction at the encampment our main heroes have come forward to investigate the Ghost Stone itself .

Link and Gwalchmai approach the site undercover supported by their respective companions.

Previously six soldiers had been rescued in the first scenario so an extra three warriors are available . Two clansmen rangers with two handed spears and a man at arms ranger with a sturdy shield are provided.

This will be a tough fight with gnolls cultists trolls spectres and spectral horsemen sure to be around the stone itself.
