Black Powder - Napoleonic Wars and Bolter.pl and French and Polish and Russians and Spain and Warlord Games tancreddebeauville 20:54

Today Bolter celebrated it 5th birthday in current localization on Podwale, Wrocław, Poland. There were many different tables with different systems – like Bolt Action, Black Powder, Gods of War: Robert E. Lee, Star Wars and others. I promised that I will be on Black Powder, but I managed to take some photos from interesting battles in Gods of War and from Star Wars with famous AT-AT taking part in the struggle on Endor. Today I played with comrade Michał as combined Russian&Poles and Spanish brigades, on other side were French of Jędrzej and Germans lead by Damian. It was nice to see that people were observing our struggle.

Jędrzej French arrived.
Generals should control bridges and villages at the end of battle.

Summary:

  • thank you Bolters team for great place to meet and play – for all time smart talk, advice, great atmosphere – to Adam, Basiorek, Kuba, Piotrek, Rafał, Wiktoria. You all do a great job!
  • many great people I meet here and know that there are much more I don’t know.
  • wish happy birthday, hundred years and better times!
  • With Michał we failed and that bad French and Germans won battle.
Let’s say – soldiers should stay on the tables. Real soldiers should shake hands, politicians should avoid wars.

A journey to Czech Prague – next days (EN🇬🇧/PL🇵🇱) Wtorek, Maj 31 2022 

Prague and Travels tancreddebeauville 20:41

🇵🇱 Pojechałem do Pragi na gry i turniej WFB organizowany przez znajomych, ale nie tylko z tego powodu — chciałem też ponownie zobaczyć stolicę Czech. Cały piątek, 13.05.2022, spędziłem na spacerowaniu po Pradze, robieniu zdjęć i próbowaniu lokalnego pilznera w pubie. Sama podróż do Pragi kosztowała mnie trochę nerwów, ponieważ nie byłem w stanie zabrać ze sobą wszystkich moich ukochanych figurek — część z nich podróżowała osobno. Z Wrocławia do Pragi jest tylko około 5,5 godziny autobusem. Znalazłem też przyjemny hotel z bardzo dobrymi śniadaniami, blisko miejsca, w którym graliśmy — był to Hotel Sonata, zarezerwowany przez Lastminute.com.

🇬🇧 I went for WFB games and tournament organized by friends, but not only, as I wanted to see again capital of Czech Republic. I spend whole Friday of 13.05.2022 on walking in Prague, taking photos and tasting local Pilsner in the pub. Travelling to Prague costed me some nerves as I wasn’t able to take all my beloved miniatures with me – some of them were travelling alone. It’s only 5,5h by bus from Wrocław to Prague, I found nice hotel with great breakfasts, close to place we were playing – it was Hotel Sonata booked by Lastminute.com.


Everything is a trip to somewhere.

 

A journey to Czech Prague – first day (EN🇬🇧/PL🇵🇱) Poniedziałek, Maj 30 2022 

Prague and Travels tancreddebeauville 20:51

🇵🇱 12 maja pojechałem do Pragi i spędziłem tam kilka wspaniałych dni. Następnym razem zdecydowanie powinienem zaplanować dłuższy pobyt. Już pierwszego dnia spotkałem Martina, a także kilku nowych znajomych i parę osób, które wcześniej znałem jedynie z internetowych grup. Podróżowałem sam i wszystko zorganizowałem we własnym zakresie. Zdecydowanie było warto.

🇬🇧 On 12 May, I travelled to Prague and spent a few wonderful days there. Next time, I should definitely plan a longer stay. On the first day, I met Martin, along with several new friends and a few people I had previously only known through online groups. I travelled alone and organised everything myself. It was well worth it.

 

Bolt Action: Seelow Heights, on road to Berlin Niedziela, Maj 29 2022 

Armia Czerwona and Bolt Action and Germany and Warlord Games tancreddebeauville 20:35

This windy Sunday we played with Karol average battle in case of points, as both forces had 1250 points. On one side were brave German Fallschirmjägers (paratroopers) supported by powerful feline – Königstiger – better known as Tiger II. On the other side were advancing Red Army accompanied by famous T-34-85 tank. After ordering some tosts and drink I was ready to start playing. It was great idea to have to include snacks and tosts in hobby shop. We played in Bolter, which has next Saturday birthday event.

Crossroad with 8.8 cm guns – objective both sides wanted to control.
Red Army advance.
Most advanced tank of 2nd world war.
Left flank with BA-6 – not many were in service till the end of war.

Summary:
– thank you Karol for great game! It was great to see Tiger II on the table.
– main problem of big cats are points, I had 16 Order dices vs Karols 7. In such disproportion one side should be defender (half of units hidden) with some units in reserves.
– I guess I was here for up to five hours, we played maybe 2,5h, then I had some interesting conversations after – thank you Adam, Arek, Karol, Rafał and the others, really great day after playing Witcher 2 until morning.
– we had some points with Adam and Arek about updating few things in Black Powder.
– some talk related to Wendesday landing in Salerno, Italy.

Summary:
– nice game, but too many random situations. I think that we need to update some rules.
– battle was over after turn 5 and several unlucky charges done by French cavalry.
