Yesterday we played small battle on 1250 points beetwen my Bretonnians and Łukasz Empire.
Bretonnians left flank.Grail Knights.Bretonnian right flank.After first turn units moved.Pistoliers and handgunners take down many noble Knights of the Realm.Massive joined combat beetwen Bretonnian KoTR, men at arms and Empire spearmen with detachment of halbeldiers.Flank attack – at the end I losed my best unit.Final charge which resulted in draw.
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.
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.
Both sides after turn one.Tried to hit, but cannon ball started bouncing to far.Pistoliers tried to shoot down some Knights of the Realm.Kislev Ungol riders tried to disturb some other Knights of the Realm.It was too much for Knights Panther to hold ground, losed three of them and was broken in combat and fled.It could be good charge, but I did almost nothing and archers scored three pistoliers, winned combat and cought them. Situation out of control, as cannon crew fled because of broken unit.Panic after losing two winged lancers, but they…… managed to rally.Before unit was destroyed – handgunners managed to eliminate whole unit of Grail Knights.The end.
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.
Today, in that sad day from the morning we played a very friendly game on 1526 points with Sambor Skavens – it was a test of some interesting works of Skaven engineers. I took Empire (belowed Middenheim – City of the White Wolf and Bergsburg – city of goddess of mercy Shallya) and Kislev (stanitsa – Wrotizla), as I have them magnetized and was able to put box with them easily to the bag.
We played on 1526 points as our friends living in Prague organize event with such points limit.
Some of deployed troops. They come ot us – „quick, quick” – heard from the opposite site.Winged Lancers of Wrotizla.I’m not proud of that white unit.. Empire mortar.I think I painted them when lovely Armenia was attacked.A trap for brave Gospodars and Ungols.Brave Knights Panther from Middenheim and Bergsburg pistoliers charged.Stubborn do not help on fear and outnumber.Fire, reload, fire, reload – Hochland handgunners and great cannon repelled clanrats., Hat by shit, Empire knights flee.Kislev cavalry changing position.Unpainted fight worse, joke – I losed this unit in one turn of combat.Led by young captain Heinrich Knights Panther left the field of battle in shit..Hans, give me one more pound of gunpowder (they killed Skaven general on strange engine).Kislevites escaped.That boyar… Empire cannon hit him by accident, no politics.
Summary of our struggle: – thank you Sambor for great game again, – thanks for Bolter for place we play, – still learning this army.
Summary of 24.02.2022: – I just wish peace beetwen Russia and Ukraine, as most of ordinary people wants to live in it, I wish international friendships which are priceless as any other. We managed to find great people in Prague, but as Pole living in Wrocław, PL I wish to have friends everywhere – Germans, Russians, Ukrainians, French, British, Americans etc. – hobby is shortest way to find interesting people. You meet person, you have a chance to knew different cultere, traditions, cuisine etc. – to be sure I’m right side and I can say, that I enjoy meeting people of different nations – in my life I found friends in other nations, especially Russians, Moldovians but also Spanish, Dutch, Belgians, Denmark, Germans, Bialorussians, Ukrainians. Found Czechs and British (or Archibald found me). We are all the same as a people.
As I love Russians, I also meet many great Ukrainians – I wish peace for both nations. Life is too short, to be victim of war.
Today we played with Maciej smaller game on 1300 points per side, he took his Empire and I took Bretonnians. We played our game on 7th edition.
Bretonnians started praying, so Empire decides to take initiative during turn one.Knights of the Blazing Sun charged Knights of the Realm.Warrior Priest issued challenge, so it was answered by Bretonnian lady.Knights of Bretonnia pursued Knights of the Blazing Sun.Empire Knights rallied, while mounted squires charged archers.This time Knights of the Realm charged. Pegasus knight tried to advance toward archers.Empire infantry turned.Some evil spell was cast on pegasus, meanwhile squires were routed by archers.Grail Knights meet they end – jet before one of them took with them warrior priest of Sigmar.The end – Bretonnian Knights of the Realm came back to the field after pursuing off the board last Empire knight.
Yesterday we played with Jędrzej our first WFB ever – for me it was a pleasure – first time I played with Empire and Kislev against Bretonnians (I play Bretonnians since 1997’/1998′). We played on 2250 points in Bolter.pl, Wrocław, PL.
Jędrzej Bretonnians.My Empire and Kislev.Empire and Kislev in line.Trebuchet, Grail Knights and Pegasus Knights on Bretonnian left flank.Bretonnian right flank.Empire right flank.Empire Knights Panthers in the centre.I did mistake and came into line of sight of Pegasus Knights – before I took one trebuchet crew.Fly, fly!Steam Tank advanced to take Grail Knights…Lancers turned to face pegasus knights.Knights Errant charged Empire Knights with they grandmaster Heinrich the Pious.Grail Knights during charge did 8 wounds to Steam Tank. Such amazing disaster.Brave artillery crew held mounted squires.Empire archers managed to kill pegasus knight.Flank attack finally routed Knights Pannthers.Knights Errants charged Steam Tank…… and eliminated it from battle.I’be back.
Summary: – Bretonnian won this game, I believed that Steam Tank can do something, but after losing eight wounds during one combat it could just stay. – Jędrzej played last time 8-10 years ago, but he still remember rules well. – It was a pleasure to play that game. – It’s great that playing other systems we still find ppl who played WFB and they return to game. We also find ppl who never played WFB and they start playing in it.
Today with Dudzio we played game on 2250 points. I took Empire and Kislev and Dudzio took Vampire Counts. We played in Bolter, Wrocław, PL.
Both armies ready, Dudzio won initiative but decided that I will start.I rushed in Bretonnian style.Then Ungols made retreat.Ungols horse archers survived charge of Grave Guard.Crews in panic.Paniced unit forced to flee.Cavalry and Steam Tank charged…and were charged as well.The end on turn three or four.
Summary: – still learning about playing Empire and Kislev. – Dudzio is learning to play Vampire Counts. – at the moment we stopped – it was something near Draw or Minor Victory for Dudzio.
Today we played standard pitched battle on 2000 points.
Both armies prepared – Kriss won initiative and give me a chance to start first turn.
Wizards from Lore of Beast and Lore of Fire.
Again I played this army as I played with Bretonnia.
First loses among Kislev Winged Lancers, losed unit of Empire pistoliers.
With blocked line of sight I charged ogre lord – won combat – but he passed break test and bravely stood.
I managed to take three wounds from giant, unhapilly he was angry after that and run on my handgunners.
Rhinos charged Knights Panther.
More units fighting against Winged Lancers.
Winged Lancers destroyed, I charged on flanks with light cavalry.
Giant routed handgunners.
Dwarf mercenaries charged ogre tyrant in a desperate act to stop him.
Retreat!
We finished game after around 4 turns – as we don’t have more time.
Summary: – has to paint some more infantry, war machines – for 2000 points I have too much cavalry. – need to paint 10-15 Dwarfs, they seem to be great unit. – thank you Kriss for great game.
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).
Only wizard on the table – spells from lore of Beast.
Empire and Kislev battle line.
Both sides.
Dawi artillery hat Steam Tank and unhapilly damaged it.
Remnants of Knights Panthers fought well.
Steam Tank destroyed by Dawi cannons.
Artillery duel won at last by Dawi cannon of Alessandro. Before I hat his cannon twice and for first time roll 1 for wound, then, rolled one for how many wounds. Still, I had great rolls on armour saves.
Better and better in guesing ranges.
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!
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.

First game of Empire and Dwarfs – I took here only few photos.
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!
Today we played typical Border Patrol (GW rules) with Alessandro and Krzysztof on 500 points. First game was played beetwen Alessandro Night Goblins vs Krzystof Ogres, second game was played beetwen my Empire and Krzysztof Ogres. I tried to make some scenario, so we agreed that the tower belonged to wizard who perished long time ago. Of course both sides want’s the tower – units 6′ from tower were Immune to Panic.
Ogres saw many walking meat.
Krzysiek ogres are still work in progress, they look better and better.
Night goblins moved up to the obstacle.
Ogres moved.
Suprise, night goblin fanatics released!
Health path in front of Ogres.
Ogres charged…
and night goblins fled to the forest.
One step back from those green madness.
Night goblins rallied.
But again were charged by Ogres.
Sounds like a dinner.
One of those funniest unit in WFB, along squigg hoppers and snotling pump wagon. Of course it’s also deadly, especially when hitting armoured knights.
Gnoblars in the forest and ogres around tower.
Failed charge of ogre gunner.
Night Goblin took forest from gnoblar hands. Last gnoblars hiden beetwen night goblins.
Second battle. Those Dwarfs were used as Empire Swordsmen.

Next time I will take dwarfs as allies, not as proxy for swordsmen.
Swordsmen fled as charge reaction.
Ogres triumph.
Hochland pistoliers managed to take down one of the shooters (he was on last wound, as they wounded themselfs moment before).
Gnoblars charged Knights Panther on the flank and won by one point.
Handgunners welcomed ogres with rain of bullets, but fled in panic after round of combat.
Swordsmen managed to won over one ogre shooter.
Knights Panthers rallied and charged back.
Ogres looking for loot and food.
Last charge – ogres on Knights Panthers.
The end. I guess it was draw – magic tower still wait’s for someone who will open it.
Summary: – games on small points can be really nice and fast as well. – next time we will play on something more, like one thousand points. Maybe I will write some scenario, still it depends of how many of us will be interested.
