Monday Night Games - New England Puritans vs Indians, Rapid Fire and Midgard

Some of the games hosted last Monday:

More Midgard

Another win for the Saxons against the Orc horde. In Midgard, the Saxon shield wall is proving difficult to break....

Anglo-Saxons Rule OK!

 ...well in Midgard, at any rate. This was our first foray into the TooFatLardies 'Midgard Heroic Battles' wargame rules, which a number of us have picked up recently.

This battle saw an early Saxon force demolish a gruesome Orc warband pretty convincingly. The Orcs appeared to be numerous, but of fairly poor quality. The Saxon shield wall held firm and was actually able to take the offensive to defeat the hideous fiends. I have to admit, that upon reflection on the points values, the Orcs may have been short one unit, but who's counting anyway!

The rules seemed to flow pretty well and there are a number of fun mechanics which provide for a more narrative style of game. A number of us have armies that can be, or are currently in, conversion for use in Midgard, so I am sure we will see more action in this historical/mythical/fantasy period!

Pre-Christmas Napoleonics

As is traditional, we had a large Napoleonic game on the last Monday meet before Christmas. I think that the allies cracked the French centre in the dying minutes of the battle, but can't quite remember, although I do remember one of the players rolling a triple '10' on 3d10 - a 1,000 to one shot!
