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

6th and 7th and Bretonnia and Dark Elves and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Ogres and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 19:49

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 

6th and 7th and Bretonnia and Dark Elves and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 21:21

„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.

Our deployment, of course Bretonnian Knight prayed to the Lady in hard morning after drinking Bugmans beers.
Right flank and the middle. Yes, there are a lot of commoners – I love those models.
Left flank of Dark Elves. Cold Ones were great in bitting they tails for most of the game as they failed many stupidity tests.

Dwards hand gunners runned away from Cold One Knights charge, to fight another day.
The end, remnants of Bretonnian and Dwarfs runned back to the camp with Dark Elves pursuing them during night.

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!”.

Kolejna odsłona WROhammer’a, tym razem gospodarzem był „Profi”. Zagraliśmy w dwóch czterosobowych zespołach – żółtych i czerwonych. Każdy z uczestników wystawił armię na 1000 punktów, na zasadach 7 edycji WFB. W skrócie: w pierwszej grze celem było zdobycie przedmiotu, drugiej utrzymanie go, w trzeciej zdobywca przedmiotu mógł go użyć.

Next part of WROhammer, this time the host was „Profi”. We played in two teams of four people each – yellows and reds. Each participant developed army for 1000 of points, on rules from 7 edition of WFB. Shortly: in first game our target was to took item, second hold it in our hands and in third players who got item could use it.

Podsumowanie:
– wielkie dzięki Profi za podjęcie się organizacji, równie wielkie dzięki Planszoweczka.pl za miejsce.
– dzięki wszystkim za wspaniałą atmosferę i przybycie!
– nadal nie wiem co brać na tysiąc punktów Bretonnią.
– z krasnoludami, miałem szczęście i zrobiłem błędy, które łatałem, z orkami błędem było nie danie Graalom przedmiotu, z Mrocznymi Elfami – spaliłem szarże.

Summary:
– many thanks to Profi for organization of event, many thanks to Planszoweczka.pl for place.
– thank you everyone for great atmosphere and arrival!
– I still don’t know what to take on one thousand points for Bretonnia.
– with Dwarfs I got luck and did mistakes, which I tried to repair, in second battle great mistake was to not give item to a Grail Knights, with Dark Elves I failed important charges.
