After last session we failed and our team spend several weeks in the safe vault, but afterward reading some old book they realized that there is some pre-war factory which was supplying military. Maybe some stuff is still untouched? Today we played cooperative game against the game in team of four: Ola, Łukasz, Paweł and me.
Train station somewhere in the wastes. One of the ghouls sit on the tower above.Train station is occupied by bandits.Ghouls smell they prey and starts hunting.Survivors march to the place found in pre-war book.Ghuls were hungry, very hungry.My hero managed to kill one ghoul but another one took his place.Bandits came closer and dog runned to them, to bit them.Feral ghouls are wild fighters, sometimes it hard to kill them.Four on one and bandits shooting everywhere.Our robot had to travel to destiny place, which was some pre-war factory.One of two sole survivors I played.Heavy fight – power armour give extra punch. On left bandid was shooting at everyone.Finally I got my character into combat to help Dudzio’s armoured men.Our guide, robot was hit, we found some parts and fixed it.All team survived, so band is going now to some ‚ancient’ factory.
Summary: – really good game with RPG aspect, I know it will be even better with each following game. – there are not many people who play Fallout Wasteland Warfare or probably I don’t know them. – good Saturday time spend in Bolter.
So after once more finishing Witcher 3 I will go back to Fallout New Vegas.
Today we played with Łukasz in Bolter on 1200 points. We used many great terrains I bought from Klaudia – she do a great job in many different scales for different systems. Probably we used too many terrains, but we wanted to see them on the table. So we started – probably my 10th game and Łukasz 2nd, I’m still learning, but at least know rules to the level I can play.
Borodino class and Varyag. Next to Varyag you can see orders for this turn and next turn.Varyag move around island.Novik and two groups of Japanese torpedo boats.Love those terrains, bring life to the table on great level.Mikasa, Nisshin, two torpedo boats and Borodino on right.Novik opens fire on one group of torpedo boats.Critical hit, crew of torpedo boats swim to the island.Artillery duel beetwen Varyag and Nisshin.Lucky shoot exploded in ammunition storage, Varyag sunk in a moment.Borodino bravely goes forward.Aurora getting close to second group of torpedo boats.Ramming thru.Aurora got some water and fire.Lucky shoot on Mikasa, Aurora destroyed main ammo storage.Fires and water aboard warships of both sides.Ramming island by Japanese cruiser.
Summary: – this time Russia won against Japanese. – great game with many beautiful terrains, which will be avaible only for Togo in Bolter. – Togo – one of the systems I get in on 2022′ – one of the best systems I meet from GM Boardgames avaible in Bolter – I’m pretty sure English version of rules is coming soon.
On last Saturday 11.03 we played another event in WFB 7th edition in Wrocław, Bolter. Last edition had more players, but we look for the future, as we know next one will be even better!

W ostatnią środę rozegraliśmy następującą rozgrywkę, w której wydzielona grupa bojowa z niemieckiej 12-tej Armii generała Waltera Wencka ścigana ze wschodu przez czołówki pancerne Armii Czerwonej usiłowała przebić się na zachód by złożyć broń Armii Stanów Zjednoczonych. Część wojsk niemieckich ubezpieczała odwrót kolumny uciekinierów, pozostała część starła się z nadchodzącymi zza zachodu wojskami amerykańskimi.
Historycznie 12 Armia była ostatnią nadzieję okrążanej stolicy Niemiec. Fuhrer kryjący się w swoim bunkrze w Berlinie do końca wierzył, że sojusz Aliantów Zachodnich ze Związkiem Radzieckim się załamie i nastąpi cudowne ocalenie stolicy. 12 Armia nie była w stanie pokonać olbrzymich sił Radzieckich wspartych siłami Ludowego Wojska Polskiego, ale nie wszystko było stracone – nadal pod generałem Walterem Wenckiem znajdowali się żołnierze i cywile, którym można było oszczędzić losu spędzonego w sowieckiej niewoli
Most oddzialający stół na część zachodnią i wschodnią.Stąd na miasto bronione przez Krisa nacierali Amerykanie Łukasza.Kolumna uciekinierów.Trochę słynnych 8,8 gotowych do walki z czołgami.Za konwój i obronę miasta przed Armią Czerwoną odpowiadał von Papiór.Jeden z nielicznych Tygrysów których nie porzucono z braku paliwa.Radziecki czołg ostrzałem karabinów zatrzymał ostatnią ciężarówkę. Oficer NKWD dzierżąc listę tylko czekał, by z ciężarówki wyciągnąć Wernhera von Brauna.Z ukrycia pod drzewami wyłonił się Tygrys I.Radziecka piechota w natarciu.I trochę więcej piechoty na prawym skrzydle.Panther V osłaniająca odwrót niemieckich uciekinierów.Po drugiej stronie siły dowodzone przez gen. Zdziebeł w natarciu.Dwie ciężarówki unieruchomione, może jest tam ktoś, z kim oficerowie wojsk wewnętrznych zamienią słowo lub dwa?Kolejny T-34-85 dołączył do walki.Mur to dla czołgu pestka, a za murem Tygrys – trafiony, załoga w szoku, zerwana gąsienica ale stoi.Załoga T-34-85 pospiesznie opuściła pojazd po tym jak oberwał z pancerzownicy.
Podsumowanie: – dzięki za fajną grę Karol, Kris, Łukasz, Sławek i Panu Piotrowi za świetną prelekcję przed grą. – parę zdjęć nadawało się do kasacji, ale na drodze miałem jeszcze parę pojazdów które utkwiły w zatorze. – cały czas odnoszę wrażenie, że atakujący powinien mieć o wiele więcej pojazdów niż obrońca – by nie bał się ich używać a co za tym idzie stracić.
Yesterday I played another game with Sambor in our WROHammer league 2022-23 – thank you Palen, for organising page and league! We had interesting battle in WFB 7th edition. There were several points when game stopped for a moment. I tried to do my best and do photos of those moments.
We played on modified set of rules for WFB – Lore of Grumpy released by Alex, we use version from Semptember/October of 2022.
Both sides after first turn, my Bretonnians prayed to The Lady. Doomwheel came close to my trebuchet.Knights Errants and general’s morale – what could be wrong?Knights Errants fled the field, I’ve been sad.Unusual situation, but archers sometimes took they short swords and daggers and charge.Another charge of my second great unit against doomwheel.Grail Knights had to just turn on ‚Abomination’.Archers and mounted squires won against the slaves.Abomination was hungry and wanted easy prey.Pegasus Knigths won combat, as Skavens started killing each other.Grail Knights with Duc Tancred, battle standard bearer Louis charged abomination.Hold the line shouted young squire to fellow men at arms. Grail Knights killed abomination…… but on six it returned and charged them on flank. It had only two wounds, but still I weren’t able to kill it.They were fleeing, but rallied and fought once more time, jet no photo as evidence.Duc of Beauville and his battle standard bearer held against all odds tille the end.
Summary: – great game against Sambor. – at the end it was 14:6, I was loser in this battle beetwen noble Bretonnians and vile Skavens. – several moments in the game where crucial for both sides.
Today we played with Marek in Togo, 1200 points per side. This battle was deadly to my Borodino class, as it was sunk first time. It was great game and I know that Borodino is not immortal.
Russian fleet with Varyag class, Borodino class, Pallada class and Novik class.Among Japanese were Mikasa class and two others. Japanese also had minefield.How orders to warships looks like/Borodino move in the middle toward enemies. I believed that it’s good idea to take fire on and wait for help of the other part of my force.Aurora received many hits.Borodino started fire.How Aurora looked after enemy fire.Borodino ammunition exploded, lose was disaster.Japanese fleet moving forward.Russian navy trying to escape, as with lose of Borodino and heavily damaged Aurora it was the best option to avoid enemy fire.Novik and Varyag escaped, Aurora was sunk by enemy. It was big Japanese victory as I losed 35 to 0.
Last Wendesday we played a game on 450 points with Łukasz, I played with The Dead of Dunharrow and Łukasz took his Easterlings cavalry.
My two bands – one with the King of Dead and another with Herald. Łukasz had one big band and one composed of two models.Rolls for initiative – my dices are blue.Our objectives were four white dices placed on the table.Many of slaves of Sauron were affraid to charge on the Warriors of Dead.Still some of them charged on left and right flank of ghosts host.Spirits of ghosts collapsed under hoves of horses. King was among them.Duel beetwen King of Dead and Amdur, Lord of Blades were full of just ordinary rolls in such a moment.Ghost warriors bravely survived cavalry charge and started repelling Saurons minions attacks.The final moment, before few more Easterlings left the field. Final score was 3:1 for me.
Summary: – it’s time to start painting Rohan then Gondor and Mordor to have some bad boys and getting some more models to those armies. – Dunharrow – like it, but some times losing with it is spectacular, the same as winning. This army is expensive in points and with eniemies with higher weapon skill there is problem to win combats. Anyway I will try to play with them, as I like this army.
I had three great games – first against Roberts Canadians – it could be a draw, but I managed to win. Second against Jędrzej Soviet Union, I’ve been massacred, jet it was great game and our civil war were are bitter game to the end. The last game I played against Mateusz US, it was game which result wasn’t sure till the end. I losed it, but we weren’t sure to the end who will win.
Today we played bigger game on ‚Early war’ 1800 points per side – where army of IInd Republic of Poland were securing railroad depot in area of Lwów, waiting for a train with important officials. Unfortunately German Abwehra and Soviet intelligence got information about that fact. In the railway station were half of Polish troops. Germany start on the one table side, Soviet started on the other with half units in reserves.
Inexperienced infantry advances and starts fire.Polish troops helding railway station.Fubar on medic – great job Łukasz! He just run away in wrong direction.Soviet mmg arrived.Order is to go forward, so they advance and shoot.Veterans of Polish army charged Soviet infantry…… but losed and were taken as prisoners.First time I used light mortar prepared for campaing in Stalingrad.NKVD troops bought after Stalingrad campaign. Models painted by Bonapartist Paint Studio.7-TP of Polish army, Poland had 132 of them, including 24 with twin targets with mmgs. Bayonnets fixed! Uraaa!Fubar rolled by me on my best infantry unit – reduced Soviet inexperienced squad to five models.An attempt to take and secure station. Still some Polish troops defending.BT-7 finally arrived, trying to take out Wz.29 Ursus – Poland had around ten of them.German Heer infantry having problems with 7-TP tank.At the end of the game there were still Polish troops.
Summary: – Axis and Soviet Union got victory 12:6. – great game during early war period of time, need to paint more Soviets for early. – thank you Maciej and Łukasz for good game, with 3600 points of table – we managed to play it during 2h 30 m – we were really fast, as we played till turn 6 and turn 7 hadn’t arrived.
Today I played a game on 450 points against Dawid’s Dol Guldur – it was great game and again I know that I had to paint some more army than Dunharrow, as they are limited to two units and two heroes – King and Herald of Dead – of course, in legendary legion I can take Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas – but on larger amount of points.
Our target was to secure objective points – white and orange markers.Still learning how to play it more competentive – my force at the start were facing both enemy warbands.Having cavalry is big plus – you are fast and can be everywhere. Fight started, as I tried to reduce Dawid’ force.Wolfs joined fight in the middle.Less and less spirit host.Saying fight to death is something wrong in case of long dead warriors.At the end – only sword wielding warrion on top right survived.
Summary: – it was great game, thank you Dawid! – I’m still learning and I know that for 450 points games I should just paint Gondor or Rohan. – have to paint Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas for Dunharrow – on higher points I need them.
