Game Night

I made the trip to TGR for open gaming and I now believe I've found a exceptional store to plan on attending a weekly game night. I have a hard time explaining how cool this store is compared to what I usually expect in a gaming store. Tonight was a demo night for Warlord which is produced locally by Reaper Games.

I really enjoyed the free form feel to the game. The troops really feel more like D&D adventure parties then formed ranks in a formalized army. I like the fact that I can simply buy models that are cool and put them together in many different ways.

Now on to the Game. I played in a Dwarf civil war 500 pts per side. My army was composed of:
Herryk Aesir High Cleric with mithrial Armor
2 X Halberdier
3 X Warrior


The opponent had:
Logan Battlefury
Ivar Silverfist (I think)
3 Mancatcher

As this was a demo game we did not use any doctrine.

The game play was quick and I really liked the initiative draw each turn and it added a level of randomness and made planning a little tricky. Ended up only losing 2 warriors and defeating all but Logan by the end of turn 5. The most memorable part of the game was Herryk kiting Logan using mire and the fact that the restore spell to remove the stunned effected failed 2 turns in a row. It was also fun to see the grunts savage the caster.

So the first game was a nice refreshing win. Much better then the taste of total defeat from my last game night out.

So after the game I sat around talking to several play tester / designers from reaper who were putting on the demo. They helped me pick out some reptus minis and started me on my way to building some troops. Time to add the new minis to the need to paint list.

Over all a really great night!!!!
