Well, today saw Abingdon Wargames Club send forth its finest members* to compete in the annual Round Robin competition organised and hosted by the Oxford club.
Bucking tradition, we came third, rather than the usual last, with an overall score of 22.5 points. The games on offer this year were:
Raid!- Four groups of goblinoids compete to see who can bring the most loot out of an abandoned dwarf hold.
Predator!- Predators and human Special forces race to see who can search three crash sites first (played twice, once as predators, once as Special Forces)
City State- Four city states compete to see who can acquire the most wealth through military conquest, territorial growth and bribery.
Retreat!- French forces attempt to flee from Waterloo (?) to the safety of a nearby town as Prussian cavalry move to mop them up (again, each player had two go at this; once as the French and once as the Prussians).
All good fun, and we're looking forward to next year's offerings!
In other news, the 7TV campaign takes a break and is replaced by Charlie Don't Surf as one of the two offerings for Abingdon Wargames Club's 18th December Sunday "all-day" meeting. As ever, pictures and a write up should appear here ahortly after! From earlier posts, the astute may work out what may be appearing on, or perhaps over, the jungle-festooned table...
*In other words, those who were available.
