....or not as the case may be ,-)
Well, all I can say is "thank goodness I didn't plan to do any painting tonight!". Just as I was about to shut down my computer, my boss asked me if I fancied joining him and a couple of others for a pint. Well, 4 pints of Deuchars IPA, a few shorts and a curry later I'm home and (drunkenly) posting for you.
Results of my first FoG:R match: I lost. Big time. All 3 of my cuirassier units destroyed within a few turns; 2 units of reiters/arquebusiers spending several turns failing to break a FRAGMENTED unit of cuirassiers.
All-in-all, pretty much what I'd expected. The usual f***-ups by me with deployment (still thinking FoG:AM) which messed me up a little in the first few turns; crappy dice when I needed average-or-better dice; blah-di-blah; rhubarb, rhubarb. I'll try to do a proper report tomorrow when I'm sober (I've got plenty of pics which should help to distract you from crappy write-up).
Toodle pip!
About Me
- TamsinP
- London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
- A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).
Not that bad for an incoherent ramble, perhaps a couple of shots before deployment will next time will provide some laissez faire inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHave a couple more pints for your men, they fought bravely before dying in battle! Glad you got on the right drunk train to get home.
ReplyDeletethey are nice
ReplyDeleteyou like them
they will win
bonne chance
That's quite good drunken blogging and I've seen a few!
ReplyDeleteIf you write this well when drunk your not doing it properly (being drunk that is). Have a few more shots to dull the pain of defeat...it works for me!
ReplyDeleteWell your drunken rambles are far more pointed, polite and coherent than mine :-)
ReplyDeleteYour drunken ramblings are better than my sober ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIan
I cant even see a keyboard when I am drunk let alone type. Still losing every now and then is god as it makes the winning all the nicer.
ReplyDelete4 pints...wow...I would have fallen asleep...;-)
ReplyDeleteif I can say a word...I don' t like cuirassiers since mine don' t fight well too...:-(
Here getting hotter...
Marzio.
Remember the important safety tip, don't drink and battle!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on the drinking!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers all! Amazingly I don't seem to have a hangover, but it could be that my cold which started after my post last night is masking it.
ReplyDeleteI must say that I'm absolutely stunned by coherence of my ramble.
Just as the other said, a very coherent drunken ramble, I'll have to give that a go myself one day!
