WFB: MISFIRE 2024 PL/EN Wtorek, Kwi 30 2024 

W ostatni weekend kwietnia 27-28.04.2024 miałem przyjemność wziąć udział w wydarzeniu organizowanym przez Rafała ‚RaV’ Kozielskiego związanym z starym dobrym WFB na 6/7 edycję – poprzednio z różnych względów – tak ludzkich jak i też czasowych nie było to możliwe. O ile rozkręcaliśmy we Wrocławiu granie w WFB z Maniexite od czasów poznania się w Planszóweczce to żałuję, że Rafała poznałem dopiero parę lat temu, ale zawsze lepiej późno niż wcale – może wcześniej moglibyśmy razem z Marianem i Rafałem działać razem w tematach związanych z WFB.

O samym MISFIRE – wydarzenie było, jest i będzie dedykowane graczowi z Opola, kryjącemu się pod pseudonimem „Żuku” – który dla organizatora i wielu osób z Opola i zapewne nie tylko był przyjacielem, kumplem, dobrą duszą. Odszedł do być może lepszego świata, ale pamięć o nim pozostanie, dopóki my żyjemy i tradycja MISFIRE będzie kontynuowana. Niestety osobiście jako gracz który pałętał się od Centrum Gier na Igielnej, Ogryna w Feniksie, Barda w Pasażu Niehofa czy na końcu przez chwilę Sfana nie miałem okazji go poznać, internet się rodził, a ja nie byłem graczem wyjazdowym. O Adamie ‚Żuku’ Pieszczuku więcej można przeczytać we wpisie który powstał w lokalnym wydaniu opolskiej Gazety Wyborczej i jest dostępny TUTAJ. W skrócie – ‚Żuku’, działacz społeczny chcący pomagać takim ludziom jak on sam – z niepełnosprawnością, zarazem gracz, którego niestety nie miałem okazji poznać – spoczywaj w pokoju kolego.

Od Remo: Żuku mimo niepełnosprawności korzystał z życia jak mógł. Graliśmy w battla, jeździliśmy na turnieje, jeździliśmy na wycieczki na basen, chodziliśmy na dyskoteki. Poza tym był bardzo inteligentny, wiele godzin z nim przegadałem o życiu, polityce.

Co mogę powiedzieć o MISFIRE wydarzeniu w formie turnieju – jest to super impreza dla wszystkich graczy starego, dobrego Warhammer Fantasy Battle w wydaniu edycji 6/7 – podręczniki armijne z 6 edycji, podręcznik z edycji 7. I to co stanowi o tym, czy w daną grę czy w system chce się grać na takich wydarzeniach, czy się też nawet na nie nie trafia – najważniejsi są – ludzie. Nieważne skąd by byli – to jednak oni są najważniejsi – mimo wszystko, to co kto sobą reprezentuje jest najważniejsze dla mnie i zapewne dla większości osób pojawiających się na tego typu wydarzeniach czy to jest organizowany przez Rafała MISFIRE, organizowane przeze mnie i Maniexite WROHammery czy wiele innych tego typu wydarzeń które w Polsce gromadzą sympatyków starego, może nie idealnego, ale nadal lubianego WFB. Ludzie na MISFIRE dopisali – mimo, że The: Old World odebrał nam chociażby we Wrocławiu kilku graczy, w tym bywalców poprzedniej edycji – trudno. Ci co pojawili się stanowili klasę samą w sobie, a mieliśmy graczy z starego, historycznego śląskiego – z Katowic, Opola, Wrocławia i z Krakowa.

Miałem sześć świetnych gier po kolei z:
1. Konstantin (Gdańsk) – Bretonia
2. Jasiek (Wrocław) – Wysokie Elfy
3. Rafał (Wrocław) – Skaveny
4. Remo (Wrocław) – Demony Tzeentcha
5. Jonasz (Opole) – Bretonia
6. Przemek (Katowice) – Krasnoludy Chaosu

O wiele więcej zdjęć zrobił RaV i są dostępne na stronie wydarzenia TUTAJ.

On the last weekend of April, April 27-28, 2024, I had the pleasure of taking part in an event organized by Rafał ‚RaV’ Kozielski related to the good old WFB for the 6/7 edition – previously, for various reasons – both human and time-wise, it was not possible. While we started playing WFB in Wrocław with Maniexite since we met in Planszóweczka, I regret that I met Rafał only a few years ago, but it’s always better late than never – maybe Marian and Rafał, together with me and Rafał, could have worked together on topics related to WFB earlier.

About MISFIRE itself – the event was, is and will be dedicated to a player from Opole, known under the nickname „Żuku” – who was a friend, a buddy, a good soul for the organizer and many people from Opole and probably not only. He has gone to a perhaps better world, but his memory will remain as long as we live and the MISFIRE tradition will continue. Unfortunately, personally, as a player who wandered around the Centrum Gier on Igielna Street, Ogryn in Feniks, Bard in Pasaż Niehof and finally Sfan for a while, I did not have the opportunity to meet him, the Internet was being born and I was not an away player. You can read more about Adam ‚Żuk’ Pieszczuk in the entry that was written in the local edition of Gazeta Wyborcza in Opole and is available HERE. In short – ‚Żuku’, a social activist who wants to help people like himself – with disabilities, and also a player whom I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to meet – rest in peace friend.

From Remo: Despite his disability, Żuku enjoyed life as much as he could. We played battla, went to tournaments, went on trips to the swimming pool, and went to discos. Moreover, he was very intelligent, I talked with him for many hours about life and politics.

What can I say about MISFIRE, an event in the form of a tournament – it is a great event for all players of the good old Warhammer Fantasy Battle in the 6/7 edition – army manuals from the 6th edition, the manual from the 7th edition. And what determines whether in whether you want to play a given game or system at such events or you don’t even go to them – the most important thing is – people. It doesn’t matter where they are from – they are the most important – after all, what they represent is the most important for me and probably for most people appearing at this type of events, whether it is MISFIRE organized by Rafał, WROHammery organized by me and Maniexite or many other such events. the type of events that in Poland gather fans of the old, maybe not perfect, but still popular WFB. People at MISFIRE contributed – even though The: Old World took away several players from us in Wrocław, including regulars of the previous edition – it’s hard. Those who appeared were in a class of their own, and we had players from the old, historic Silesia – from Katowice, Opole, Wrocław and Krakow.

I had six great games with:
1. Konstantin (Gdańsk) – Bretonnia
2. Jasiek (Wrocław) – High Elves
3. Rafał (Wrocław) – Skavens
4. Remo (Wrocław) – Tzeentch Deamons
5. Jonasz (Opole) – Bretonnia
6. Przemek (Katowice) – Chaos Dwarfs

Much more photos done by Rav are THERE.

Podsumowanie:
– jedno z fajniejszych wydarzeń w którym brałem udział, obok jest lokalny Middle Earth: SBG i Bolt Action w Poznaniu, aż kusi by zorganizować kolejnego WROHammer’a.
– bardzo fajni ludzie, co jest tym, co trzyma ludzi przy graniu w stary, niby martwy system – on wcale nie jest martwy i wg mnie bije cały czas na głowę The Old World który nie jest zły, ale czegoś w nim brakuje.
– dzięki RaV za świetne wydarzenie i każdemu z osobna za przybycie i sześć świetnych gier!

Summary:
– one of the coolest events I took part in, next to it is the local Middle Earth: SBG and Bolt Action in Poznań, it’s tempting to organize another WROHammer.
– very nice people, which is what keeps people playing the old, supposedly dead system – it is not dead at all and in my opinion it still beats The Old World which is not bad, but something is missing.
– thanks RaV for a great event and everyone for coming and six great games!



WFB: Raiders of Naggaroth Czwartek, Sier 31 2023 

Settlements in northern Bretonnia from time to time were burning, they citizens dissapeard to be never saw again. On the order of the King Louen Lencouer baron Louis de Beauville started investigation in coastal area of Lyonesse to check what is going on and who is responsible for acts of destruction and thievery.

My lord, the men sent to the village of Lens have not returned, it is already the second day. Baron looked at his knight and spoke – tell the men, that they must be ready, we will march out in the morning.

A foggy morning in the village of Douai, knights and men-at-arms are preparing to set off – when suddenly a crying girl with a teddy bear ran into the village – what happend? Damsel of the lady Elena asked in a soothing voice. They came from nowhere, they catched villagers. Gotrek stumbled out of the tavern – they’re here – Druchii – he spat on the ground – then let’s put them to the ground!

Summary:
– we played scenario from Dark Elves 6th edition army book.
– one of my charges could be game changer, but wasn’t.
– with many loots and slaves Druchii marched back to they ships.
– thank you Bartek for great game!

How it could be with a little imagination, as war never changes.

WFB: Crusade to Tower of Madness Sobota, Lip 8 2023 

Legends tolds that in Albion is ancient tower hiding powerful knowledge” – Truthsayers words were magical to all knights gathered in Beauville castle great hall. „My lord” – said sir Roget – duc de Beauville son – „Can we go there? This wise men cannot lie, I have contact in Brionne and can provide fleet for us, to go there and get it”. Duc Tancred, wise and brave men heard voices of his knights and guests – „we should take it, for the Lady and for the King”. Duc stand up – all knights and servants fell silent – „sir Roget, my son let’s organize few ships and galleon to protect them, sir Louis – let gather our retinue, we should march to Brionne when sir Roger came back.” Truth sayer, druid of ancient cult of Mother Earth smiled – maybe those knights will help him with ancient problem keeping tower.

So be it, Bretonnians from borderland of Parravon and Quenneles under Duc Tancred de Beauville arrived to misty island of Albion, after several days of march, lead by mysterious Truthsayer they arrived to the mystical tower, but from the mist other force came. „So it begun” – said Duc.

Summary:
– great game, probably more talk than game as I was there for around 6,5 hour.
– we played in 6/7 edition on 2,000 points per side.
– we did some mistakes, at least we will not repeat them in the future 🙂 .
– Leśnica in Wrocław and going to Marian mansion is trip of around two hours using legs and city communication, still it was good to be there again.

WFB: Border dispute beetwen Bretonnia and Empire Piątek, Maj 26 2023 

Yesterday we played small battle on 1250 points beetwen my Bretonnians and Łukasz Empire.

Summary:
– good game, I guess it was Empire victory, suppose 12:8 or 15:5. Thank you Łukasz for great game!
– it’s my last attempt to make WROHammer alive, if I fail shadow of me could be seen playing WFB, but never again I will try to organize anything related to this system, at least I can see that this scenario wouldn’t happen now.
– as making Old World alive again we started playing Mordheim, to be sure I will play both, Mordheim and WFB. Thank you guys who joined our small group playing Mordheim – it’s really nice to see ppl I know from other systems like Bolt Action or other systems, to play together.
– still searching for a job, not sure if I want to be a software tester – probably would like to test games of any kind, but cannot get in that industry.

WROHammer: Final of the league 2022/23 Sobota, Maj 13 2023 

Today we played final of the league started last year – more details HERE. We played in Bolter and we had a lot of fun enjoying our games. From me I want to say big thank you to Krzysztof, for taking seriously idea I throwed on tournament I organised last August, many thanks, you did great job!

Today there were five of us from eleven players involved – many thanks to Rafał – organizer of MISFIRE that he took place of person which cannot be there.

I played first game with Alessandro, my Tilean friend of many games – we had Draw 10:10, then I played my second game first time with Rafał and from start I was thinking to not do mistakes, I losed 15:5 – it was great game anyway, hope we will play again. For my third game I became photographer on my will.

Below is mix of photos of our battles:

Summary:
– the first place belongs to Alessandro, second to Bartek and third to me – we had great fun, to be sure we plans another league, but first we need to take some rest after that.
– thanks to all participants and I hope to see you again, as I find enough ideas and power to organise more smaller WFB events, probably for smaller points as well.
– we turn back to 6/7 edition, at least we have such plan with some limits.
– of course, I want to go to Prague from time to time to see and play with my Czech and German friends there.

WFB: Exploration of Albion – a fight for lost comrades Czwartek, Kwi 20 2023 

„One more beer for our friendship said Rurik Brassgaze, one more said his new fellow, young knight Louis de Beauville! – camp was full of Bretonnians knights and they servants and Dwarfs they meet during travel in wild area of the Albion. Both parties agreed that they will rejoin they forces, to achieve they mission together, both were tracking Dark Elves who catched they kinsmen in area close to small port Neue Reikdorf in Albion. Both sides had many common in tracking they enemy”.

Today we played smaller game in WFB with army books from 6th and rulebook from 7th edition. It was game played two on two with 600 points per gamer. Together with Alessandro Dwarfs we played on one side, on the other were Dark Elves of Bartek and Krzysiek.

Summary:
– good to hear before game, that I’m looking happy – strange, as I’m looking for some interesting job – not remote anymore.
– It was nice game and we will repeat it with maybe more points, next time we want to just give a try to old Mordheim.
– we are open to play smaller points, I’m still thinking about some form of campaing, where everyone have a castle and three random places like a town, village, mine, shrine, forest etc. so troops can be a little bit different – still no idea how to organize it.
– next WROHammer will be probably something different to previous one, but anyway, we have to talk about it, in small team.

„Do you smell they fear? Yes, it’s delicious – we have more captives, but we should go for more – release Cold One Knights, they smell them! Yes, let’s start hunting for hummies and davies, run! Catch them all!”.

WFB: In a search of tomb of long forsaken Khorne warrior Wtorek, Kwi 18 2023 

„Somewhere in the north Bretonnia Khorne warriors party landed from the sea and were looking for long forgotten tomb of ancient Khorne warrior, which name was cursed in past and only in they sagas is sung as ‚Bloody whip for Bretonnians’ – damsel of the lady Eleonora had dream about horrors buried in ancient grave, she warned duc Tancred de Beauville to ride forth, as they were on the road in area of tomb – so Bretonnians ordered by they duc had to investigate a tomb, when they appeard – another party emerged from the forest.”

Today we played with Basiorek in Bolter on one thousand points in classical 6th edition of WFB with 7th edition rulebook. Basiorek was playing Khorne army from Norsca or even more to the north, while I was playing my classical Bretonnians from barony of Beauville. As I have to mention some armies from Old World and areas far beyond can be still done with use of current Games Workshop offer – look HERE.

Photos done from Khorne side were done by Basiorek, from my side were done by me.

Summary:
– at the end we counted scores and Basiorek owned 732 to my 712 – so with such love difference it was draw.
– great game on smaller points, hope to repeat it in the close future.
– it’s funny, I know Basiorek because of our common friend Klocek for many years and we played a lot of Warhammer: Invasion card game, but it was first time we played tabletop game and it was WFB 🙂 .

„When the dust of battle settled, the crypt was found empty, and the Chosen of Khorne withdrew into the forest with the coffin. Duc Tancred ordered his squires to scout next day, as night fell, a few of the best have convinced the duke to move now.”

WFB: Underground Empire counterstrike Sobota, Mar 4 2023 

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.

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.

WFB: Neigbours disputes over Marienburg Środa, Lu 22 2023 

Last days I had too much free time, sometimes things happen unusual way. Still there are positives – I can play more games including WFB – today 7th edition. With Bartłomiej we played game on 1250 points per side, I played my Empire and Kislev, my opponent played first time his Bretonnia.

Summary:
– it was great game and it’s nice to see that younger generations are intrested in file and rank system, especially WFB.
– need to paint some meele infantry and more missile armed handgunners and crossbowmens, maybe hellblaster, as again I saw that I have too much cavalry which should fight with enemy weakend by my own fire.

WFB: A clash with enemy who doesn’t exists Niedziela, Lu 19 2023 

Last Saturday I played another game in 2022-2023 league of WROHammer, which was started due efforts of Palen. I had chance to play against Piotr’s Skaven’s. We played with rules attached to page mentioned on the top. We play 7th edition rulebook and army books are generally from this edition as well.

Summary:
– it was great game, although I have to rethink how to play against such monstrous things like abomination.
– some more days to thinking about changes, not only in tabletop games.

One common thing with my battle, one side was tablet from the field.
