Today I played first game in Lord of the Rings with Łukasz as my mentor – we played scenario with five tokens on the board which should be secured – I guess they were some ancient tombs as Death of Dunharrow came to defend them against evil servants of Sauron. It was my first game and I know I want to play more. I’m still don’t remember most of things, but with following games it will be better and better.
Thanks for master Tolkien for writing whole universum of Middle-Earth – I read Lord of the Rings trilogy three times – now is time to read it in English. Hobbit in English was good experience (not sure when I have my original of this great book). Silmarillion and Unfinished Stories were also master pieces. Thanks to Peter Jackson for great movies – I will stay with those works and will not touch any new productions, which are politically correct – I’m not.
Summary: – thank you Łukasz for first game, I know we need to play another game 😉 .
Today, in that sad day from the morning we played a very friendly game on 1526 points with Sambor Skavens – it was a test of some interesting works of Skaven engineers. I took Empire (belowed Middenheim – City of the White Wolf and Bergsburg – city of goddess of mercy Shallya) and Kislev (stanitsa – Wrotizla), as I have them magnetized and was able to put box with them easily to the bag.
We played on 1526 points as our friends living in Prague organize event with such points limit.
Some of deployed troops. They come ot us – „quick, quick” – heard from the opposite site.Winged Lancers of Wrotizla.I’m not proud of that white unit.. Empire mortar.I think I painted them when lovely Armenia was attacked.A trap for brave Gospodars and Ungols.Brave Knights Panther from Middenheim and Bergsburg pistoliers charged.Stubborn do not help on fear and outnumber.Fire, reload, fire, reload – Hochland handgunners and great cannon repelled clanrats., Hat by shit, Empire knights flee.Kislev cavalry changing position.Unpainted fight worse, joke – I losed this unit in one turn of combat.Led by young captain Heinrich Knights Panther left the field of battle in shit..Hans, give me one more pound of gunpowder (they killed Skaven general on strange engine).Kislevites escaped.That boyar… Empire cannon hit him by accident, no politics.
Summary of our struggle: – thank you Sambor for great game again, – thanks for Bolter for place we play, – still learning this army.
Summary of 24.02.2022: – I just wish peace beetwen Russia and Ukraine, as most of ordinary people wants to live in it, I wish international friendships which are priceless as any other. We managed to find great people in Prague, but as Pole living in Wrocław, PL I wish to have friends everywhere – Germans, Russians, Ukrainians, French, British, Americans etc. – hobby is shortest way to find interesting people. You meet person, you have a chance to knew different cultere, traditions, cuisine etc. – to be sure I’m right side and I can say, that I enjoy meeting people of different nations – in my life I found friends in other nations, especially Russians, Moldovians but also Spanish, Dutch, Belgians, Denmark, Germans, Bialorussians, Ukrainians. Found Czechs and British (or Archibald found me). We are all the same as a people.
As I love Russians, I also meet many great Ukrainians – I wish peace for both nations. Life is too short, to be victim of war.

Last Saturday as WROHammer we organised Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition event in Bolter.pl, Wrocław, Poland. From my perspective first time with help of friends I organized event related to hobby I’m playing around 25 years – I’ve been organizer of after work beers only. With Marian we wanted to organize WROHammer two years ago, but pandemy destroyed our plans at least not forever. I returned to our plans after Archie wrote me message after seeing my post on – Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition. Generally I wrote something, that why not meet and play with people from neighbour country? With example that Wrocław is not far away to Berlin or Prague. To make event even greater, I started looking for sponsors and place.
I want to thank sponsors for great prizes and to our host which was Bolter – we thanks for many great tables with beautiful scenery and also for many help from Piotr! I want to thank to Alessandro – for best eye in case of checking army lists, to Marian – for patience in case of adding new sponsors to our diploma, to Remo for help in things I never did and for everyone who attend our event – we played in group of British, Czechs, Italian and Poles. It was great to meet you all on our event!
Our sponsors and our patron – prince Henryk Pobożny.I know that I will buy something from them soon, those models are Oldhammer.I tried to do some photos during our first game with Archie.My second game with Paweł.Before British, Czech and Polish after party.
We had good time on Friday, where our friends from Czech Republic and friend from Gdynia arrived – we just went for some beers and food in Wrocławska restaurant – which is close to Rynek. On Saturday we played all day, then we went for some after party to Cafe Artzat also close to Rynek. WROHammer 4th edition will happen in the future, yet at the end I was tired a little – still it was worth of it. There are a lot of photos from Marian here.
