Today we played nice tournament in Gods of war: Lee organized by one of it’s creator – Maciej Molczyk – event happend in Bolter, Wrocław, PL. More about game is on GM Boardgames. Gods of war are avaible in Bolter – official distributor.
It was totally cameral event called tournament, I played with Maciej – creator of this system against his French and with Marek against Union. Big thanks to Wojtek, for providing me army of my beloved Dixie. My own army is not assembled with several exceptions.
Orders are given to the units after roll for initiative.Table of Marek and Tomek.Patrol markers are important part of Gods of War: Lee.Moving thru special terrain cost some inches. They went into the forest.My first game overall.French cuirrasiers.Charging on cannons from the front is not greatest idea.Confederates advances toward they doom.Advance, fire and then if possible bayonnet .We are a band of brothers and native to the soil Fighting for the property We gain’d by honest toil And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!Situation went out of control.General Robert Lee with his HQ.Some plantation token – entry for Dixie.I asked Maciek for some rules for armoured trains.Second battle – Union cavalry took crossroad.I played too carefully in the centre.I did that – cavalry and horse artillery did miracles.Absorbing enemy from the centre.Coming closer.Dixie cavalry retreat.Regroup on the right flank.
Summary: – I prefer spirit of the game, don’t care if I win or not, meeting good people is most important point in wargaming for me. That tournament was great! – thank you Maciek for patience, as I was late. My fault – playing Witcher till 5:00 wasn’t clever idea. – will participate in next tournament, know it.
One of the best advertisement I saw. People are created for better things that wars. Just too many things on my mind. Wish peace in Eastern Europe.
