So, sadly our third and last game for our miniature campaign of Pepyanguska...turned into one of the worst wargaming experiences I've had! In a 550-point game, over about 2.5 hours...I killed four soldiers and one AT gun.
Just one of those games:
- Opening artillery: Failed.
- Bombing run: Failed.
- Assault guns pelting trenches: Failed (not a single casualty from three vehicles firing over numerous turns)
- Mine Strike token drawn when no enemy vehicle on the table to play it on...
- Rolled 2-3 orders (on D4+D6) four times in a row.
- Almost every time an infantry unit of mine rolled after one casualty the unit broke and fled.
- etc. etc. etc.
I was actually ahead on Battle Rating, but conceded out of pure frustration. A sour ending to the great two previous games. Rolling hundreds of dice...with just no result occurring.
But, shortly after we had a great couple of games of Caverns, Crypts & Catacombs which was refreshing.
Sounds like brutal string of luck. shame as the table looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt was...astoundingly bad. :(
