On 7.08.2021 I participated in Dragon – event organized by friends from Gdynia in nearby town Rumia – norther Poland, are of Trójmiasto (Gdynia, Sopot, Gdańsk). We played on 1250 points, with all rules avaible for 6th edition (like Kislev Allied Contingent under 2,000 army lists from White Dwarfs etc.). It was worth to go out from safe zone of Wrocław and spend five and half hour in train to Gdynia – unhapilly there are no personal teleports – I wish one to Moscow and another one for such events 😉 .
First game with Janek Wood Elves. Fast cavalry were great target for Wood Elves archers. Tried to shoot down Wild Riders, without big succes. Knights Panter held down center. Hans, hurry up – shoot them with nails. Crew took a charge, but were were wiped out in hand to hand combat. Knighs Panthers announced charge, but Wood Elves reaction was to hid in the forest. As Ungols reaction was to flee, Wild Riders in madness charged flank of Middenheim Knights. Heavily armored knights managed to broke Wild Riders. Not great hide out, as threemen saw them. It was end of first game: 12:8 for Jan. Some view on the other tables. Dogs of War army, I see there mercenaries from Araby, Dwarfs, Kislev and Ogres. Classical Empire. On the first plan Bretonnia against Tomb Kings. Family photo of my Middeneim, Hochland and Kislev Wrotizla force. Second game against Krzysiek Dwarfs. I strongly believed that Panthers will break Dwarfs in combat and then took they artillery. During charge they had to test morale and they failed. Then it was play on time, as catapult managed to hit my cannon eliminating crew. Another nice game – Krzysiek won over me 15:5. I mostly hate civil wars. A game against Krystian Empire was my third and last one. Plan was to outflank Krysian force with heavy cavalry, broke at least two of his knights units and then took artillery. Panic spread after Ungol Horse archers burned from fireball. All plan collapsed in a moment. Knights Panthers tried to continue plan on the left flank. Winged lancers managed to rally and came back. They came back to close and were charged by two units of Empire Knights. Final. Thank you Jan, Paweł,Tomek and any other for organizing great event and for a great atmosphere. On after party in really interesting place I discovered my favourite beer from Kormoran brewery. It was interesting to talk about our hobby but not only.
Summary:
– it was interesting to participate in such large event in so called „death system” – that system in reality never died and Dragon is a proof of it.
– there were many players from Trójmiasto and area, many Warsowians. Not sure about other cities.
– I was the only one from Wrocław – hope that next year more of us will come here.
– it was interesting to talk with many other players, wish to remember all your names next time.
– at the end Paweł organized after party in really interesting place hidden behind modern buildings – it was somekind of inn which survived in the middle of concrete. We talked there with some part of Warsowians mainly about WFB but also about other systems or history.
-many thanks for all drivers who really helped me in getting to Rumia and back and go to my hotel after party.
Nice report, it sounds like a good time was had by all.
Yeah, it was a great time for me and many more ppl hopefully. Wish to do as great WROhammer event in my Wrocław.
