Mid-Somerset Wargames Club 7/3/2013 - 17/3/2013

A catch-up to post some photos from games that happened at the Wells club over the past week or two

Starting off with the night of Thursday the 7th, I ran a small two player games of Fear & Faith from Ganesha Games. This was just a simple meet & fight affair to re-familiarise ourselves with the rules after a long break. I'm going to run a Gothic Horror series of scenarios so wanted to give them a brief outing

A pair of hunters plus canine support escorted two scared villagers back home

They were jumped by a pair of wolves who, due to some impressive dice rolling, ate both hunters in 45 minutes! Still, it was enough to relearn the rules basics really for the full games

The following week saw another outing of Steve Jone's XCOM game. This time Steve had assembled some of his lovely laser-cut buildings from Micro Art Studios & Warmill. They will look even better with some paint on!

There was also a multi-player 20mm WW2 game happening that night. I think it was Stalingrad by the photo but don't quote me on it ..

Lastly, usually once a month a group of us try to get together for a longer period boardgame session. This time we had a go at A Touch of Evil, by Flying Frog Productions, complete with both add-on supplements attached. If you are unfamiliar with this game think Sleepy Hollow with the characters working together against a supernatural horror of some sort (werewolf, scarecrow man etc.)

This time we drew the headless horseman himself. The game started badly as on the first turn one player managed to call a final showdown that usually happens much, much later in the game. Needless to say this wasn't fun but we survived (just). After that the game just kept hitting us with curses, monsters and all sorts of badness. We did finally faceoff against the horseman but he was so powerful we got our heads handed to us. Oh well, next time :(

  1. That all looks like a lot of fun; those trees in the first game really caught my eye.

    1. The ones on the left are the Citadel forest trees, simply built & painted without the foliage they supply

    2. Thank you, I might need to look out for some of those, they have a wonderful enchanted forest look.
