Game of Battletech Alpha Strike with my wife using hex grid rules with an attack roll for each point of damage - hence the multiple sets of coloured dice (more off table).

5th Crucis Lancers:
Battlemaster
Catapult
Wolverine
Commando
vs
1st Sword of Light
Griffin
Thunderbolt
Shadow Hawk
Locust



My 1st Sword of Light were finally beaten when my Locust was taken out by a badly beaten Wolverine.
At the end, my wife asked if I had any more Locusts she could add to her choice of models. I guess its speed made an impact.

Last night we had the first test game of Dracula's America, the weird west skirmish game, on a board that came out rather well if I say so myself. Lovely system too.

Welcome to Perdition

Great-looking board! Love the cheeky DeLorean in there too.

Friday night Gaslands.

This weekend saw some regulars-
MCP games







Some classic battle tech clan on clan action-



My battle tech games

some civil war era (3067)



Some late 4th succession war era-



Then the most odd one of the night...i got to fight my former tau army i sold a decade ago that just got re-sold to a newer player in our group for our 5th ed games.

Game of dreadfleet this afternoon. I got utterly stomped and outplayed by my friend. Was a fun game and was well worth the 30 minutes of bike to get there!

Played my last Encounter of Five Parsecs last week. It was a real challenge for me and not-Attelus, and his crew as it was the first game with limited ranges of 9'' due to what I decided was a sandstorm, but if units opened fire, they were fair game to shoot at within weaponry range.

Took some photos and edited them to be like a pict feed from a recent 8k vs 8k Titandeath game with some side games of Aeronautica and Titanicus.

Been testing out the Waaagh quite a bit lately. Got in a few games using the War Horde:

Gloomhaven : Crimson Scales

NIGHT OF THE MURDER CHICKEN

Rethemed a tragic scenario into murder most fowl. The poultry miniature is actually useful in an event card as well, and I'd like to think said chicken got its taste of BLOOD and formed its own tasty cult. Anyway, our two boys encounter the murder chicken (towards the back, near a man-eating plant) the first time, but would fail three times in this difficult scenario!

Hey aphyon, when you say for exemple 4th tau versus 3.5 chaos, do you take lists from the codices as is or are their any tweaks you make?

I have a topic or two for this for this

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/789567.page

The short answer
.all of our games are based on 5th ed core rules. however 3rd-7th ed codexes are cross compatible. you pick the codex you feel best represents your army and build it from that codex we have a few house rules fixes/add ons such as using the 4th ed wound allocation system to avoid shenanigans and we added in grenade throwing, over watch and snap fire from 7th ed because we felt is really improves game experience.

The detailed explanation of rules fixes is here-

Gonna give this a read, I was mostly thinking about point costs compatibility as points costs globally decreased over time and i was wondering whether that could influence the game at disadvantage for the earlier codex. When I do this, I tend to align point costs with newer codices as much as possible.

That titanicus battle is just epic! 40k really does better in that scale with aircraft, titans and hordes of stuff

1.5k of Legions. The Word Bearers attempt a sneaky beach landing on Death Guard's islands, but have to slink back into the red tides after getting a thoroughly bloodied nose on the now wreckage-filled and burning sands.
