Five Parsecs - No country for old Klingons

-

In part two of our battle to defend Pengetera we need to fight off a second wave of Klingons. There are now 9 Klingons with a leader 2 specialists and 6 troopers. I changed the trooper's armament to match the models so 2 have rifles and 4 have pistols.

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!
I'd much rather make someone else die for their cause...
While this would be a great roll in kill team its less useful in 5 Parsecs where you want to roll low for initiative.
Romjin and peck activate in the Fast phase, both experienced officers bring down a Klingon including of the specialists with the feared Klingfire pistol.
The Klingons have adopted their patented Angry Mob formation. Aggressive enemies deploy in one clump. Other enemies deploy in smaller groups spread out across the table.
Here is everyone that didn't move, moving up.
At least we don't have to worry about sneaky flanking movements from the Klingons as they storm down the corridor
I got so excited by the initiative rolls I forgot to take a photo. With this roll half the team get to activate in the fast phase.
Peck and Romjin kill Klingons while Dodson misses. The Captain stuns a Klingon. I should have remembered to use a story point for a reroll
The Klingons continue to take casualties as they advance.
Chong hits and stuns a Klingon 3 times with her Rattlegun. This automatically takes it out of action. Fu, Gooding and Quinn all miss
The Klingons are down to 4 warriors but still have not had anyone fail morale.

The Initiative roll is not spectacular with Klingons closing fast.
Captain Mount Stuns a Klingon Warrior who then charges into combat and wins inflicting a wound on the captain who is then saved by his combat armour. Romjin manages to stun a Klingon.
The Klingon specialist cuts lose with his Klingfire pistol. Both Gooding and Chung ate taken out by this horrific weapon. Quinn manages to stun the Klingon with the rifle.
Still not the best initiative roll.
The Captain and Commander Romjin activate. The Captain finally manages to roll about a 1 to wound and kills the Klingon in front of him. Romjin flanks around and kills the Klingon commander.
Quinn gets taken out by the Klingfire pistol, while the other Klingon stuns Romjin. Dodson and Peck both miss.
Fu closes in risking friendly fire.
Romjin and Peck take out the last two Klingons.
We recover Invasion Evidence, yes that must be all the Klingons lying around.
Chung is knocked out, Gooding suffered equipment loss and her beam pistol is damaged Quinn take minor injuries and will need a turn in sickbay.
The invasion battle is going well and there will be +1 to further rolls.
A Federation task force pushes back the Klingons and the Peregrine is able to beam us aboard.

Call To Arms 2025

 We held our annual convention Call to Arms on the weekend of 30-31 August. About 160 wargamers from all over New Zealand came and played in 10 different events. Up on the stage we had a couple of different Napoleonic games. They are great looking games with nice armies in spiffy uniforms. The main hall was mostly filled with GW games. on the far left we have the MESBG, then AOS. These were two of our largest events. In the middle of the hall, we have the Horus Heresy games On the right of the hall, we have Kill Team, Flames of War, Warhammer Old World and some of the Demo games including Alan's huge zombie apocalypse game. (more on that later) The ancient gamers are on their preferred side hall. It's warm, quiet and close to the toilets. There were 18 of them playing DBMM This is one of the MESBG tables. The terrain they had was really nice. 3 of the players dressed up as wizards, we had Saruman, Gandalf and Radagast running around in wigs and robes and waving their staffs lik...

Stargrave game 2 - It's a bug hunt

  George and I got in a second game of our Stargrave campaign. We used the dead or alive mission and generated the Brood Mother. I didn't think it made much sense for a group of human mercenaries to work for a creature that kept trying to get them to bathe in marinade. I replaced all the mercenaries with spiders using the creatures from Quadrant 37. We used the Transmat to beam down to the planet Spiridon This is a very hostile jungle planet teaming with all sorts of lethal predators. Receiving reports of unidentified aliens hiding in the Plane of Stones we set out through the jungle to find out what was going on.  Here is the Raknos nest, somewhat unexpected. In addition. the nearby volcano is showing signs of an imminent eruption. Here we have the crew deployed. We have a new Engineer, I think I forgot to deploy one of the team. I have changed the Dalek's weapon to a Rapid Fire. The Plane of Stones is one of the more comfortable areas because the rocks absorb heat during the...

Hobby update - Frostgrave campaign

-
Image
For our next Frostgrave campaign we are going to theme it with Warhammer models. The idea is that we are all the forces of chaos and destruction and are going to bring down the kingdoms of men elves and dwarfs as part of our 12-step programme to ascension. Using a warhammer theme also makes it more accessible to people that have not played before. Everyone has some GW fantasy models. I have bought a few Warcry warbands and some underworlds boxes to make warbands. I have made some other models out of a box of undead peasants to round out some of the thieves and thugs that are not usually included in Warcry warbands. After reading a Conan story where he encounters a giant composite ghost. I remember I had this model from the Carnevale Doctors range and am painting it to look like it's a ghost. Here are my Khainite Shadowstalkers, these are shaping up to be an illusionist warband. They have some hounds and an illusionary one. These will be very tricky elves. Here are the splintered Fa...
