wonderful pics all.
hope its ok to ask but where do you find those objective marker template things and what are they called?

open question to you all but do you like the clear or painted versions?

Honest wargamer sells some. They are fairly common these days though.

Myself I prefer clear with coloured ring. Just clear is too easy to miss during game. Rim makes it clearer without intruding on surface too much.

The ones in my AOS pic's gets constantly called pizza's

The joke is my monthly part i go play there once a month and get told it every time.

2nd game with sylvaneth. Much better than 1st where after r2 : was for dll purposes tabled. 24-22 with lord imperator faillng to kill 10 dryads for battle tactic.

Scythes teleported, charged(+2 from spell), killed(minus one turn where 9/14 3+ roll failed) and teleported away several times killing dragons and other stuff. Durthu also killed loads until dice froze. But neither could really get hold more with 4 objectives and him using proving ground twice to deny me hold more.

Song of Blade and Heroes: Testing out a scenario in which the bad guys have to kill off the villagers, and the good guys have to rescue them!

Lasting Tales: Close-up of a Reaper miniatures wagon. The scenario is that the good guys have to escape the house on the right, and sneak their way towards the edge of the map.

Game board is Terra Tile's modular gaming tiles. Terra Tiles currently has a reprint KS. : https://gamefound.com/projects/ravenkeep/terratiles#/section/project-story

Short game. After 2 battle round i was in practice tabled having lost all hammers while dg lost just 5 plague marines and 3 terminators.

Shoud just have sit back first 1-2 turns taking damage from crawler until he brings something juicy within 18".

I feel really fortunate with my FLGS this was today's hectic pace-

battletech 3-way solaris



Aeronautica game 1



Aeronautica game 2



battletech alpha strike game



warmachine menoth VS cryx



warmachine menoth VS convergence.



A BFG B5 wars conversion game-



A mismatched battle in the clans favor-classic battletech.




Then the games i was involved in-

Universal 5th edition 40K game-5th ed salamanders VS 7th ed ADMECH



classic battletech fedcom civil war era...the nightstar was running double LBX 10S an ammo crit later both the tempest and thunderbolt were dead along with him.



And a final 5th ed 40K game of 3.5 ed iron warriors VS 5th ed salamanders.

That's a lot of games.

That Solaris game. What map sheet is that again?

No clue i don't care much about map sheets since i only play 3d terrain myself. as for the number of games i actually forgot to take a pic of the specter operations table and i didn't take pics of the 2 DnD games going on since they are not miniature based.

Like i said-great store, great game nights, great community. makes me really appreciate what i have after seeing how little some players get to actually play, or how few systems they play.

League opener. Super bad match up with 10 dark lances and anti-vehicle wyches vs my 7 dreadnoughts. Some got lanced, one leviathan died to drazzhar. At least second leviathan took out hoverbikes, archon and his incubi but not enough. When i have to engage in melee/melta range to take out raider leaving incubi alive not good. And ravagers had all the range needed and behind total deep strike coverage.

And -6 power　swords O_o

Last nights Guildball rumble, Farmers Vs Alchemists, odd game, felt mostly on top, then wasn't and lost, 12-5 ro Farmers

@Aphyon

Lot's of games and that is a blessing.

It looks like the FLGS may need to add a painting night to the roster as well!

Indeed it is.....

As for the painting, one of the guys never paints anything....well until he got into battletech because painting comstar units is easy. the cryx player has just recently bought most of his stuff, he just got it together enough to use. for most gamers i think the building/painting seems to never end. i was fortunate enough to get all caught up myself when it comes to my armies.

Fyreslayers vs idoneth. Didn't go too bad though losing berserker unit to king/eidolon tag team hurt. But r3 screwed when forgefather went to hunt king. Didn't fall back with his retinue to cover him.

Dead father. Losing ward berserskers died. No hammers left vs 2 unkillable(short of 12 dice doing 8 or 12 6's) and he got r4 double for further nail. He would have 5 objectives and i would have just 20 vulkites and couple minor heroes. And dwarves being slow...

I had my first game for this round of the 40k league in my province. Had a win with my Chaos Knights vs Thousand Sons. The game was just horrible for my opponent, who had pretty awful luck (failing 3 charges in T3, and his warlord rolling double 1's twice in the same turn casting powers and died). We played the mission where you only gain CP if you hold an objective outside your deployment zone, and my opponent never gained CP this game, which was hard for him too.

Khorne daemons vs blood angels. Game got decided by 2 things. He went blade of sanguinus vs skulltaker, he was kept at home doing action, 0 vp. Still win had he taken bring it down for 15 but t2 bloodletters got 6" charge(thanks skarbrand) straight to home denying 7 vp to him. Bloodthirster denied 3 more on t4.

I had just skulltaker left but 57-39

Today at my place

Big battle



My games.....

I was supposed to be fighting grey knights in our oldhammer game tonight, but something came up so i ended up doing battle against a 1,300 point guard army. he didn't have a lot of stuff, so we borrowed the stores old armor cast baneblade to bulk up his army. 5th ed IG VS 5th ed salmanders




I did a quick 3V3 clan battle

Heh. A Masakari and Nova Cat corner camping at long range.

Perfect.

It would only be better if it were a Nova Cat A, for extra sniping-ness.

I'm afraid it was "forget my sea mat Saturday" again at the club yesterday



1500 Dystopian Wars, Commonwealth vs Crown

Even funnier.......had he not got super lucky with his hit locations on my thunder stallion (nearly every shot hit CT even with me hiding behind the hills to try and get terrain protection) instead it became almost a MAD situation. the fire scorpion and warhawk killed each other. the the vixen evaporated when he stood behind the stalking spider and crited it's SRM ammo. the nova cat barely survived.

Played a Marvel: Crisis Protocol game last week, Dark Dimension into Cabal/Malekith. Failed to kill Malekith when the opportunity arose (blanked out on several attacks by Dormammu), and ended up losing 17-13.

Several recent games.
2 victories (khorne demons), 2 losses (grots)

Crusade game vs freeblade knights. Hit and wound max 4+ -1 dam wardogs tough as hell and getting hit by melta when killing big knight tough but scenario helped a lot. Get to center for vp's but there inv save gets negated? I take that!

Librarian dreadnought got the honour of finishing off 3 knights himself. Big&2 small.

CAP over Korea, July 1950....

Castles in the Sky, Americans ambushing a Japanese fleet.



I tried running this game for my monthly club meeting. Unfortunately I think it failed to impress.

Observations:
+The group liked the core mechanics of the game
+If the players knew the rules, it would have gone better, instead of a single turn taking an hour or more.
-Players thought I started the fleets too far apart. I probably should have started both sides closer by 6"-12".
-Too many ships for too many new/inattentive players. I probably should have only had them running 3, or even just 2, ships each.
-I needed something other than dice to indicate altitude. Chits would have been a better choice.

Bummer. I still look forward to the after action report.

When I ran the game at the book launch, we had a big white board that had all the ship's, command ratings, altitudes, speed, armor, and critical conditions like damaged/stalling/sinking on it. That worked pretty well.

Each person only had a single battleship, a cruiser, and an escort along with a stat card for each ship.

Don't beat yourself up too bad. It can be tough to tailor an introductory game to hit that sweet spot where they get a feel for the game that record then without bogging down. Looks like you learned allot from the experience anyway.
