WFB: Bretonnians vs Greenskins in Prague Poniedziałek, Czer 3 2024 

On last Thursday (30.05.2024) I managed to visit Prague for few days – most of time I spend on visiting various places and I will write about them on my blog in coming days.

Few weeks before I managed to inform my friends from Prague that I coming and asked if anyone is willing to play old 6/7th edition of WFB. Fortunately for me Ludek and Martin had time and were willing to play with me. First game on Thursday I played in Ogří Doupě with Ludek on 1250 points per side.

Both sides were represented by fully painted armies of classical miniatures produced by Games Workshop.

So it begun, Battle of Kozel valley started:

Summary:
– thanks to Ludek for great game!
– at the end we had Draw 10:10.
– hope to play again in the future.

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 7th: A training before Prague event Czwartek, Maj 12 2022 

Last Sunday we continued our Polish-Italian struggle beetwen my Bretonnians and Alessandro greenskins. It was first time I tried my list on 1526 points and after game I decided to update it.

Summary:
– most of Bretonnians unit fled the field, only mounted squires were on field at the end.
– it was great game and I revised my army list a little bit. Reduced number of knights and added one more lance of young Knights Errants. Instead of one her – another damsel lvl 2 was added.

WFB: Border clash beetwen Bretonnians and Orcs Wtorek, Kwi 12 2022 

Yesterday we played with Michał Border Patrol game on 500 points using WFB 7th edition rules. Michał wasn’t playing WFB for a long time, so it was time for him to refresh rules.

As Bretonnian (Michał) side decided to pray to the Lady, orcs started first turn of a game.

Summary:
– great game and as it was Border Patrol it’s fast and good to bring back rules of WFB.

WFB 7th: Bretonnians vs Greenskins on 2250 pts. Sobota, Sty 15 2022 

Today we played a game on 2250 points with Alessandro. It was horrible defeat of my new Bretonnian roster sheet.

Summary:
– it was great battle, I’m learning new army list.
– Alessandro magic was powerful, my counter wasn’t.
– need to do something with mess in room, as models are everywhere.
– thank you Alessandro, WROHammer vol.3 in only three weeks.

WFB 7th: dark Sunday for Bretonnians Niedziela, List 28 2021 

Today we played with Alessandro battle on 2250 points per side. At least it was some lesson taken by me. This was first battle when I took trebuchet and it was shooting better than my Empire artillery – it was miracle, that guessing and scatter dices were working well both with many hits.

Summary:
– need to update this list with more archers, probably one small unit of knights, take one more wizard instead of paladin (I thought about taking even 3 2nd lvl wizards) – I will reduce units of men at arms to one unit.
– it was good game, at least I know that I need to change army composition a little bit.

WFB 7th: Bretonnians vs Orcs&Goblins Piątek, List 12 2021 

Today with Alessandro we played in Bolter battle for 1500 points per side – I took my first army I ever started on 1997′ and my „enemy” took also old Orc&Goblin army. Compositions of armies were:

Bretonnians:
– 8 Knights of the Realm with Banner of Chalons (full command group) lead by paladin baron Roger (Morning Star of Fracasse and Virtue of Noble Disdain),
– 16 archers (full command group),
– 5 mounted squires,
– 3 pegasus knights (musician),
– 7 Grail Knights with Banner of Defence (full command group) lead by paladin duc Tancred (Grail Vow, Lance of Artois, Virtue of Confidence), Melisanda damsel of the Lady lvl 2 (2x Dispel Scroll),
– battle standard bearer Louis (Grail Vow, Sword of Might, Gromril Great Helm).

Orcs&Goblins:
– 2 units of 29x Night Goblins (including night goblin fanatic – each 3 of them),
– 3 units of 5x goblin wolf riders,
– 5 Savage Orc Boar Boys,
– 9 Orc Boar Boys Big Uns with magic banner (full command group) lead by unknown black orc big boss (with magic weapon and enchanted item),
– Orc Chariot.
– 2 goblin shamans – both had two scrolls and one had arcane item (one of them was on wolf).

Summary:
– we had score of 1110 for me and 1125 for Alessandro – but it could be more by (I guess that Grail Knights wouldn’t held orc boar boys) 654. So it was good victory for Greenskins – generally still it was great game for me (bloodbath).
– Immune to Psychology – unit will not flee from enemy charge (first time fled – shame on me, now I have to build Grail Chapel for the such shame thing I did, we both forgot about this rule).
– at least one more lesson taken by mistake.

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: Abandoned wizard tower Sobota, Sier 28 2021 

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.

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.

WFB: Border Patrol on 7th edition Sobota, Sier 21 2021 

Today with Alessandro and Krzysiek we played Border Patrol on 7th edition of WFB. Alessandro played with band of Orcs & Goblins, Krzysiek with always hungry Ogres and I played noble Bretonnians with many common folk. In something up to three hours we played four games. Today games we played in Planszóweczka in Astra. We played with objective – it was taking church or defend it, but during games no one cared.

Summary:
– I have cursed rolls for knights armour saves, especially for my enemies.
– we will organize it again, maybe in form of small campaign. Need to look on campaigns from 5th edition, maybe we should draw a map – not sure, never played other campaing than those from „Herohammer” era.
– 500 points is great amount to start playing WFB.
– we used revised rules for Border Patrol done by our friends Remo and Profi. Those rules are in Polish.
– thank you Alessandro and Krzysiek for great games.
