This week saw us cracking into another round of ADLG at club. My 100YW English are still in the process of being levied, so I once again borrowed Monkey's Wallachians and this time took on David's Roman legions.
ADLG is a pretty simple set of rules to use and come to grips with and the games themselves are over in a reasonable amount of time as well.
The Wallachian cavalry advances on the Roman lines.
The Romans won the day here but not after suffering heavy losses. Monkey couldnt bear just sitting on the sideline after the game was done so quickly ran to his car to retrieve his Dacians and their Sarmatian allies.
No gold for you Roman!
Such a good game! Must really get my Poms finished off.
Daryl and Sofia hit the battlefields of Europe for some Cold War Gone Hot action in Team Yankee.
The Soviet hordes rushing the Yank lines were too strong on the day.
And Mike and Andrew decided on an Imperial Stormtrooper training mission. I dont know how many hits were achieved...
Veers leading from the front...for a while...
The Mandalorian lurks...
Did we actually turn into old men over the holidays? Nah, some of us already were...right Reid?!
Our second club day back for 2019 and we took it old school with two different set of ancients rules broken out, Basic Impetus and L'Art de la Guerre.
Ryan and Mike played some ancient action with Ryan's Macedonians hitting the fields against Mike's (my) Athenian Greeks. Basic Impetus is a pretty quick rule set to learn and when you come to grips with the whole "magic number" scenarios which cover pretty much everything in there, you're good to go. Model count is relatively low as well, so it's a good entry point.
Meanwhile, another battle was brewing on the back table...
Monkey and I played some ADLG, using Monkeys Dacian and Wallachian forces, we played a couple of games. Again, coming to grips with the rules is pretty simple and, while I enjoy the simplicity of Impetus, ADLG just seems to add a little more tactics and grandeur to the game.
Meanwhile, somewhere in 1980's Germany...
And in 1940's France...
And then into the 41st Millennium...
The answer is yes, Drew Carey are still broken as fuck.
Why not come down and see us yourself next time?
