Labour Weekend Toys!

It's been a while since we put a blog post up but rest assured, despite Dan's exile to the Deeeeeeeep Sooooooouth, TCOW is still here and still hitting them tables hard with as many systems as we can.

Now, even though this weekend was Armageddon weekend, we still managed to get 4 different systems being played.

Monkey and I thought it was time we got some Armada action back on the table. I regretted this decision almost immediately...

We also had WWII action in the form of both Flames of War and Bolt Action, Russian on German in both.

And finally, 40K is still a club stalwart which is great to see. Jorin and Glen battling with Necrons and Drew Carey.

Rumour has it we'll be breaking out some Team Yankee at next club, so keep an eye out for that one!

BINGO! - Club Meeting 21 May 2017

Man oh man did we have some gaming going on! There was so much lead, plastic and resin you'd think someone was running a recycled gaming shop!

Our regular meetings have become an outstanding and diverse affair with all sorts of games being played all over the room. And this week was no exception!

So, do you wanna see what we did....? Of course you do.....pervert!

EPIC!

Itty-bitty IG and itty-bitty Daemon's battled over a landscape that looked reasonably untouched by an preparatory bombardments....

Gav's IG supported by a Titan took on the massed ranks of Magnus and his Tzeentch-crazed masses.

RHINOS.....RHIIIIIIIIINOOOOOOOOOOS!!!!!

So good!

NOOBROMUNDA (Shadow War)

Continuing with the GW love-in, Dave and I played a game of their newest release, Shadowwar Armageddon. We've coined this one as Noobromunda....

I brought a Kill Team of Dark Elves and Dave brought his Genestealer Hybrids.

This was seriously a heap of fun! The best moment of the game, I think was one of my Wytches clearing a 4" gap to charge into close combat...just need to roll a 4+ and.....

VICTORY! Well, in the close combat. Soon after, I failed a bottle test and my ladies ran away....

STAR WARS BINGO!

We had games of every single (with the exception of the LCG and RPG) FFG Star Wars game! Armada, X-Wing, Imperial Assault and Destiny all got played! PEW PEW!!!

Not 100% sure where those Star Destroyers are off to....

Guild Ball

Dave and Darren also managed to get a game of Guild Ball in. This was using the teams from the Kick Off starter set and I believe Dave won 12 - 8.

So, more toys, more club, more fun!!!

Version 4; In The Door! Club Meeting - 12 March

It. Is. Alive!

That's right ladies and gents (and Faizal) Flames of War V4 has officially been released and we at TCOW were lucky enough to host one of the launch events in cahoots with the supremely awesome dudes at Mighty Ape! Dave managed to secure a goodly number of the new EW/LW 4th Edition swap-over books for players who showed up with their V3 rule to grab a hold of!

So what better way to ring in the new addition than by getting a few games in!? We had four Flames of War V4 games played with both MW and LW covered off.

Gav and I played two games, 1575 LW, with my Panzer Kampfgruppe taking on Gav's Tankovy. First up we played Dust Up followed by a good, old fashioned Free-For-All!

Lots of dead T-34's and Panthers everywhere!

Jon and Scott played some desert action, German on German training mission by the looks of things here.

I'm pretty sure the German's won this one...

And finally, Damian and Daryl hit the steppes with the mighty Cossacks taking on some Big Cats...

All in all, the comments on how V4 played was very positive from all players, which I think bodes well considering the recent and very vocal concerns from the FoW community at large.

So, if you want to get into some V4, I recommend heading over to Mighty Ape and ordering one of the following items:

The El Alamein starter box gives you a quick start to V4 MW. You get everything you need to get a quick tank on tank game started, including a mini rulebook!

Buy yours now at Mighty Ape!

For existing players, you can also purchase the new V4 MW rules from Mighty Ape as well. Version 4 MW Rules.

And we didn't just have Flames of War played this week.

Dave played a starter game of Guild Ball using the new Kick Off boxed set. I must say that this is really starting to pique my interest, but its just going to have to wait....

Because I FINALLY popped my Star Wars Armada cherry this weekend and I am HOOKED! What a great game! 

Its the right amount of tactical and narrative for me to really have fun with, so it looks like I'll be getting a heap of new ships soon.

We also had Girl Guide cookies for sale....much to the lament of those on diets....

So that was that! If you couldn't make it to club but want to get your V4 books from Mighty Ape, check out the details below...

Until next time, GAME ON!
