Last few days I’ve been in Czech capital – Praha (EN Prague, PL Praga). Everything we have now started on 7th edition group in the fourth quater of 2021. Months of posts with invitation of new members give resulted in contact with Archibald and then Ludek, Martin and Petr. I realised that maybe we can do another WROHammer event vol. 3. From talk we started working on event which we organized on February 2022. Archibald, Ludek and Martin arrived from Praha, CZ and Janek from Gdynia, PL, we had some good meeting on Friday, then great games on Saturday and some beers after. Freshly after Wrocław WROHammer event in Praha had been announced, there were some ppl wanting to came there from Wrocław, finally I left my zone of control and travelled to beautiful capital of Czech Republic, then I was re-joined by Alessandro on day of the event.
Praha event took place in great hobby store Ogří doupě on 14.05.2022.
More about Praha later, as I have too many photos and some thinks in my mind.
Ogří doupěFour Golden deamons, great job!Many great models here.I played Bretonnia and Martin played Skaven on 1526 points.Box from Safe Sound saved my miniatures during travel.
Summary: – it was great experience to come there and meet Martin and to know more friends here in Praha, thank you Petr and Vladimir for great time! – day before I was taken from the hotel and saw two oldest pubs and Hradczany, it was really nice to meet you or first time personally meet. – we talked about everything, from Praha history, WFB and other games including RPG’s, PC games up to situation on the east. – it was great to see first time in life metro. – with Martin I played my first game abroad, it was great experience to finally visit city of friends we know from FB group. – all the time I know that I can improve my English, but up to this date I know that is on enough level to talk with friends about anything, play tabletop games (last time I was translating Polish rulebook into English for Czech friend), to talk in business in case of support or regarding requirements with architects. Reading with understanding fantasy, history, news and technical documentation.
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.
Bretonnian archers in skirmish, Knights of the Realm, 2x unit of mounted squires, Pegasus Knights and famous Grail Knights.Night goblin horde from 6th edition.Love those sculpts.Brave charge by night goblin fanatics.Archers took two wounds from giant, but fled after failing terror test.Wywern routed from combat.Giant fall down and losed last wound.
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.
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.
Last Saturday as WROHammer we organised Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition event in Bolter.pl, Wrocław, Poland. From my perspective first time with help of friends I organized event related to hobby I’m playing around 25 years – I’ve been organizer of after work beers only. With Marian we wanted to organize WROHammer two years ago, but pandemy destroyed our plans at least not forever. I returned to our plans after Archie wrote me message after seeing my post on – Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition. Generally I wrote something, that why not meet and play with people from neighbour country? With example that Wrocław is not far away to Berlin or Prague. To make event even greater, I started looking for sponsors and place.
I want to thank sponsors for great prizes and to our host which was Bolter – we thanks for many great tables with beautiful scenery and also for many help from Piotr! I want to thank to Alessandro – for best eye in case of checking army lists, to Marian – for patience in case of adding new sponsors to our diploma, to Remo for help in things I never did and for everyone who attend our event – we played in group of British, Czechs, Italian and Poles. It was great to meet you all on our event!
Our sponsors and our patron – prince Henryk Pobożny.I know that I will buy something from them soon, those models are Oldhammer.I tried to do some photos during our first game with Archie.My second game with Paweł.Before British, Czech and Polish after party.
We had good time on Friday, where our friends from Czech Republic and friend from Gdynia arrived – we just went for some beers and food in Wrocławska restaurant – which is close to Rynek. On Saturday we played all day, then we went for some after party to Cafe Artzat also close to Rynek. WROHammer 4th edition will happen in the future, yet at the end I was tired a little – still it was worth of it. There are a lot of photos from Marian here.
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.
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 a game on 2250 points with Alessandro. It was horrible defeat of my new Bretonnian roster sheet.
Both armies deployed. Bretonnians praying to the Lady.After first turn. Bretonnian left flank and right flank moved.Charge of Pegasus Knights thru fanatics.Nasty goblin shamans on wolfes.Giant came and destroyed a party.Magic reduced KoTR unit.Still brave Knight of the Realm Knights charged Black Orcs.Men at arms took charge of chariot and giant, unhapilly they losed they fate after giant took into bag Damsel and fled.My best unit of Beauville archers, stood they ground.They spread panic among wolf riders and shamans.Whole unit dissapeard after chariot charged them.Black Orc Warboss rallied panicked goblins on wolfs.It was over, so at last Grail Knights lead by they lord charged.Then got charge on flank and fled.Survivors – baron Tancred de Beauville, damsel Agnes and some loyal archers.
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.
