The
night went very well again! There was a different turnout of people,
but it matched the same amount as last week.
Everyone
enjoyed themselves, with many games going on. On one table was a
three way game of Scrabble going on, and from the words that were
going down I would not have stood a chance. On another table was a
rather fun looking game, Yahtzee Poker. I didn’t get chance to play
this, but it looks like a great, fast and fun party game. I am going
to have to check this one out, as I could not quite grasp the rules
from the quick look that I got.
The
main event, which I participated in was a rather awesome game of
Warhammer 40000. We had decided on a 1000 point game, and I used a
alliance of Orks and Space Marines, against the might that are the
Grey Knights. I had 43 models on my side, including the Dakkajet,
and the Grey Knights were only 11 models strong. And I got the
beating of my life in this game. To say that I have only ever lost 3
games of 40k in the past 6 years, this was a shock. Grey Knights are
just stupidly over powered (which is why now, I think my next army
will be them...). I can't even see a strategy that could overcome
them, but there must be one. The game took the best part of the
night, and the 6th edition rules really shined through in
this game.
After
that, a few round of Magestones whilst we waited for the others to
finish their games, then we finished up on a game of Railways of the
World: The card game. Again this was played with people that had
never played it and had no interest in the theme, but again these
people loved it. I am slowly converting the world to love ROTW, one
person at a time....
All
in all another fantastic night, and one that I hope will continue to
grow with new people and seasoned gamers coming down.
If
you are in the area, then we are there every Thursday from 730pm
onwards. Come on down, and lets play some games!
