Bolter.pl and GM Boardgames and Gods of War: Togo and Japan and Russia tancreddebeauville 21:30

Today with Witosław we played a battle on 2,000 of points per side, I played my Russian Baltic fleet and Witosław took his Japanese. Our game took around two hours, the losses were smaller than usually – I losed group of torpedo boats because of my mistake.

When we played a game designer announced new fleet – Royal Navy – some details of it on the bottom 😉 .

Russian fleet composed from top left: Borodino class – ‚Borodino’ and ‚Suworow’, Varyag, Pallada class ‚Aurora’, group of Pernows and Nowik.

Summary:
– it was great game in our never ending struggle with Witosław, at the end we counted points and it was 62 to 58 for Japanese – it was a Draw.
– one good thing I can say – Royal Navy is on sight and there is incoming project for it on Kickstarter HERE and some words on GM Boardgames on they Facebook HERE. Plus some words about it on my blog HERE.

Mordheim – a bandits in the temple of Sigmar Sobota, Maj 6 2023

Bretonnia and Dark Elves and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Mordheim and Pirates from Sartosa and Reikland tancreddebeauville 22:41

We played another games in Mordheim. First game was a clash beetwen Dark Elves and Dwarf treasure hunter around Sigmar temple occupied by bandits shooting at closest warband. Seconde game was a struggle of Bretonnians, Dark Elves, Dwarfs and Pirates of Sartosa.

„Hans, I spoted several warbands, coming from differents directions, I can smell Dwarfs, sounds that wine drinkers Bretonnians, roar of something big and maybe Tilean? Karl – let say to everyone to take position and aim crossbows – they will not take us.”
a talk beetwen Hans and Karl, Stirland tax collectors

So we played Warhammer in smaller scale again in a row.

Summary:
– we tried something new, as four players on one table and it was good. We had to train before we start playing campaign.
– we know we had to do some terrains for this skirmish, old houses or walls from Bolt Action perform well, but we need more.
– I guess I will write some article about how to do warband for Mordheim without selling nerkeys 😉 .

Bolter.pl and Games Workshop and Lower Silesia and Middle-Earth and Poland and Rohan and Sauruman tancreddebeauville 22:17

W niedzielę 30.04.2023 tak się stało, Cornholio sprawił, że graliśmy w Pasażu Grunwaldzkim bitwę o Helmowy Jar. I zagraliśmy, był to festiwal mangi i anime, mnóstwo osób odgrywało różne role w Cosplay, a my z Łukaszem odgrywaliśmy nas, graczy, którzy w najważniejszym momencie na kości K6 rzucają 1. Mieliśmy trochę ulotek z miejsca w którym zawsze gramy i mieliśmy okazję rozmawiać z różnymi ludźmi, byli wśród nich fani twórczości Tolkiena, fani gier RPG którzy dowiedzieli się o nocy tych systemów w Bolterze.

On Sunday of 30.04.2023 it happend, with Cornholio we played in Pasaż Grunwaldzki battle of Helm’s Deep. We played, there was a lot of manga and anime, many Cosplayers and me and Łukasz playing as gamers, players who rolls in most important moments on D6 – 1. We had some hundresds of leaflets from place we play and we had many occasions to talk with different ppl, among them were fans of Tolkien, fans of RPG’s who were informed that there are nights of RPG in Bolter and among other events there.

Summary:
– it was great to be there anyway, but I see that I’m to shy for such events.
– it was manga, anime and one of the greatest tabletop system Middle Earth: SBG – Cornholio and Tancred, it was great!

Podsumowanie:
– było świetnie być tutaj, ale nadal widzę, że dla takich wydarzeń jestem po prostu wycofany.
– tam była manga, anime i jeden z najlepszych systemów bitewnych – Middle Earth: SBG – Cornholio i Tancred, to było świetne!

Coming back to Mordheim Czwartek, Kwi 27 2023

Bolter.pl and Bretonnia and Games Workshop and Mordheim and Reikland and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 21:48

Today with Alessandro we came back to ruined capital of Osternmark and we played three great games in city forgotten by Sigmar.

„I saw a graveyard and big temple around it, Lady told me that there is something important to her, to the king, to Bretonnia – my lord, there is nothing, we looked everywhere and we cannot found anything. Some steps on the street, some more steps and hearable Reikspiel. Etienne came to the Armand: My lord, they are coming!”

My Bretonnians lead by Armand de Beauville.

Summary:
– it was great to visit Mordheim again, last time I had only bad memories about last game – facing hardly shooting Kislev with a bear wasn’t great experience with almost empty table without terrains, but it was ten years ago.
– we have plans to play campaign in city of the damned, so yes, along WFB it will be my favourite system in Old World.
– we played in Bolter as almost always we do and today we played next to really popular in Wrocław system Conquest, probably I could step in as I know players, but as I have WFB, Mordheim, Middle Earth SBG, Bolt Action/Chain of Command and Gods of War: Togo, I wouldn’t have time and time is some kind of value we cannot extend unfortunately.

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.

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: In a search of tomb of long forsaken Khorne warrior Wtorek, Kwi 18 2023

6th and 7th and Bolter.pl and Bretonnia and Chaos Warriors and Games Workshop and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 17:55

„Somewhere in the north Bretonnia Khorne warriors party landed from the sea and were looking for long forgotten tomb of ancient Khorne warrior, which name was cursed in past and only in they sagas is sung as ‚Bloody whip for Bretonnians’ – damsel of the lady Eleonora had dream about horrors buried in ancient grave, she warned duc Tancred de Beauville to ride forth, as they were on the road in area of tomb – so Bretonnians ordered by they duc had to investigate a tomb, when they appeard – another party emerged from the forest.”

Today we played with Basiorek in Bolter on one thousand points in classical 6th edition of WFB with 7th edition rulebook. Basiorek was playing Khorne army from Norsca or even more to the north, while I was playing my classical Bretonnians from barony of Beauville. As I have to mention some armies from Old World and areas far beyond can be still done with use of current Games Workshop offer – look HERE.

Photos done from Khorne side were done by Basiorek, from my side were done by me.

Both sides deployed, Bretonnians praying to The Lady of the Lake.

Summary:
– at the end we counted scores and Basiorek owned 732 to my 712 – so with such love difference it was draw.
– great game on smaller points, hope to repeat it in the close future.
– it’s funny, I know Basiorek because of our common friend Klocek for many years and we played a lot of Warhammer: Invasion card game, but it was first time we played tabletop game and it was WFB 🙂 .

„When the dust of battle settled, the crypt was found empty, and the Chosen of Khorne withdrew into the forest with the coffin. Duc Tancred ordered his squires to scout next day, as night fell, a few of the best have convinced the duke to move now.”

Today with Witosław we had game on higher points – 2,000 points per player. I used fleet of two Borodino class battleships, three cruisers – Varyag, Pallada class – Aurora, Novik and one group of torpedo boats. On the other side were Mikasa, three cruisers and three fleets of torpedo boats. We spend good time playing on „Wieczór weteranów” (in en – veteran evening) – day when Bolter is opened longer and all different games are played, today also painting evening was organised.

Somewhere in Pacific Ocean the story begun.
