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!



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 7th: Bretonnians&Dwarfs vs Chaos&Skaven Poniedziałek, Gru 27 2021 

Today we played in Bolter.p, Wrocław, PL, 2 on 2 game – building armies around Border Patrol composition from 6th edition. Each army had 500 points – it was 2000 in total on the table. We had ambitious plan to play scenario – but it will wait for better day.

Summary:
– great, fast game.
– next time we should play two on two with more points, as some armies works better on more points.
– thank you guys for good time!

WFB 7th: A dispute beetwen Bretonnians and Dwarfs Sobota, List 6 2021 

This Saturday we played with Alessandro with 1500 points limit – this time I took Bretonnians and Alessandro took Dwarfs. Bolter provide us with place for our game – thank you Piotrek for fast response! In the same time was Middle Earth tournament – I hope to play on it someday.

Summary:
– first time after some months I took Bretonnia, first time took Lance of Artois and one more Virtue.
– it was a Draw as Alessandro destroyed 619 points from my army and I destroyed 633,5.
– it was great evening game – usually I don’t play on 15, but this time I realized: Why not?

Aww, last time realized who is a singer of songs I knew for years. Great songs Billy Joel.

WFB 7th: Dwarfs vs Empire and Kislev Sobota, Paźdź 9 2021 

Today in sunny Wrocław (PL), we played friendly Polish Italian match in Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition. First time I tried Steam Tank and need to learn how to use it.

I guess, that next time we should order some pizza to Bolter where we played (if we can of course).

Summary:
– as many times before, it was great game with Alessandro, today I was massacred – but this is part of our hobby, still it depends on with whom you play.
– it was great to see Rafał, Generał and Krzysiek, still need to plan better our still small events (need to learn from Kris about multiple games).
– first time with Steam Tank – need to learn how to use it, maybe from General or Wuja.
– we agreed to play next Saturday, so everything before us>
– we spend some time of talking about rules – probably playing with 6th editions army books on 7th edition rulebook is better – still there are more models in 7th edition – we need to do a party like in Bilbo house and talk, play and talk.
– wish everyone great Sunday!

WFB 7th: Averland, Dwarfs, Greenskins and Ogres Sobota, Wrz 18 2021 

Today we meet to play event in Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition. Our games were for 800 points. Today four of us came: me with Orcs & Goblins (my first game ever with them), Alessandro with his Dwarfs, Kris with his Ogre Kingdoms and Maciej with his Empire. We played in Bolter – today was also a tournament in Lord of the Rings and after talk with Piotrek I think, about playing in it.

Summary:
– we did small event in WFB 7th edition, hope to see more ppl next time – today were almost five of us.
– thanks to Bolter.pl for place to play.
– today I decided to start someting new, still need to stop playing Cyberpunk 2077 first and start waking up early to have more time for painting.
– in few days I want to write some kind of article about current offer of Games Workshop – there are still many sets which can be used in Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
– everyone wish good weekend!

WFB 7th: Battle near the „Lonely Rock” Sobota, Wrz 11 2021 

Today we played a game on 1.000 points in WFB 7th edition. My Bretonnians vs Alessandro Dwarfs. We find a table in Bolter.pl. Alessandro was faster, so he placed scenery.

Summary:
– it was good game as always.
– with Alessandro we had discussion and next battle will be on more points, but we still reserve less points for players who are painting and newcomers.
– we talked about detail for events – special characters. Now I have mindfuck.
– I’m closer and closer to find time and wrote about current Games Workshop products which can be still used in WFB.

Now I would like to teleport to Svetlana, to Moscow.

WFB 7th: Bretonnians vs Dwarfs Sobota, Wrz 4 2021 

Today we played in Bolter with Alessandro two games in WFB 7th edition for one thousand points per side. I played Bretonnians and Alessandro played Dwarfs. We spend around two and half hour for those games, knowing rules helps make game faster – plus we had two different armies – one which was moving more and another which was shooting more.

Summary:
– it was great to play with Alessandro again and our game was in some way demo for Marco.
– today the best units were commoners and the worst were knights – with exception to my army standard bearer.
– anyway format of 500 points work best for Border Patrol, 1000 points worked well with no limits – we will increase point number, but still we will play on smaller numbers.
– explosion of a gun or organ gun hurts in such games, as player is limited with those machines.
– I used magic – it was a Lore of Beasts. For all time I played with Lore of Life, but now it’s time to combine some other tactics.
– first time I used Icon of Quenneles and I like this item.
– it’s always great to talk about hobby which happened today with Alessandro, Kris, Piotrek and first time talk in real with Maciek.

WFB: Bretonnians vs Dwarfs Sobota, Maj 22 2021 

Today I played with Alessandro our first game in WFB 7th edition. It was interesting games with some rules used to make game playable for weaker armies like Beastmens.

Summary:
– victory belongs to Alessandro – I losed 1526 points of army and killed 604 points, I guess Dwarfs wone over me by massacre.
– interesting play, wants to play again, first tabletop game in English I played (before I played board games in English).
– first time meet Long Drong Slayer pirates who were playing as Troll Slayers. Now I think, that we should agree for use of mercenacy regiments and allies, as they can give more live to the Old World.
– 2000 points formad need to be tested more with those rules, I got those rules from Davide on FB and translated to English from Italian. Maybe we will add something more and play them – test them.
