Games!: Heartbreak at Pepyanguska, and some dungeoneering.

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.
