Another game of The Wardens of History, and this time the report from Warden Tennant read:

“That was a hairy trip to late World War II France! We soon confirmed, with both the locals and our own eyes, the presence of a giant serpent, and quickly dealt with it, but then despite us masquerading as British troops, a detachment of US glider troops showed up and started firing at us! We had three of the security team incapacitated before we saw them off! Thankfully, despite a bystander who saw the whole thing, we didn’t break the timeline, but I am no clearer on what is going on!”

Full playthrough of a battle from the upcoming skirmish campaign game set in a post apocalyptic world where the other survivours you meet seem bent on destroying your community, that is if the wild packs of animals don’t get you first.

The team now needs somewhere to set up a secure area and the chief thinks one of the sections in Special Atmospheres will work. He takes five of the team to clear the area. Six trained security officers with energy rifles while the Intruders are still relying on hand-to-hand weapons, should be a walk over? At the end of the fight they are still only a few feet from the entry point and all but Chief Bradbury are bleeding as half the adversaries turned up behind them! But they made it.

Gnolls took a heavy beating and won’t be back to threaten the realm of Grosmorne any more. Red archers on the hill had a great day, seeing off three units on their own. Gryphon made a sacrificial charge into the units that reinforced on the right, and leaving one gnoll unit disrupted by the woods when the red warriors charged out and started a rout that collapsed that flank. Fun times. Two games to go but it might be a while as I want to start up a campaign of the post apocalypse version of these rules.

Game 9 of the ongoing “Rivals” campaign saw a bloody encounter at our heroes’ favourite inn where they found a bunch of scurvy sea dogs waiting for them.

I’ve shown a few of my games now and will continue unless you’d like me to stop, but in case you are interested, here’s the current list and schedule for the rest of this year. The rulesets are available exclusively on Wargame Vault, are mini agnostic.

The Adventure series share the same core rules, enabling you to switch between genres easily. They are all true solo where you control your team of 6 (from a roster of 10) while the adversary placement and their reactions are rolled for. Each has a minimum of 6 different Story Arcs (campaigns), each of 15 games, with updates being rolled out in the months between the new releases (including switching to new cover art shown here). Make sure you switch on update announcements on Wargame Vault as you’ll get the new versions free, and they include two new Arcs.

In which our heroes go to the maintenance section to arm themselves but have a tough fight to get through.
