A Bioficer Fleet takes on the UCM in this deep space encounter. The two Bioficer battele cruisers - which are the core of the fleet - fluff both of their attack rolls in turn 3, which enables the UCM to assert control over the objectives. This puts the Bioficers on the back foot, forcing them to expose themselves to murderous fire from enemy cruisers and frigates.
In the first game, a new set of skirmish rules, designed for the Retreat from Moscow in 1812, were trialed.
In the second, the French counter attacked German invaders in an early WWII scenario.

In this scenario, the Dwarves were tasked with holding a stockade against marauding Vikings. They put up a brave fight, depending on their 'boomin' blasters' (artillery), 'shootists' (crossbowmen) and arquebusiers (fancy shootists) to hold back the Norsemen. Unfortunately the Vikings broke into their defences and managed to kill the Dwarven king - King Maudlin 'The Tall'. Despite the remainder holding out bravely, they were overwhelmed and defeated, the survivors running away as fast as their tiny little dwarf legs could carry then. The Vikings were left holding the battlefield, strewn as it was with four-foot-nothing corpses.
An impressive display of massed rank Napoleonics in 20mm, featuring the French, Austrians and some wandering Cossack 'swarms'. The game was partially based on the figting around Sokolnitz during the battle of Austerlitz.
