…rolling dice and killing engines!
Yesterday (20/05/21) was our first night back at Battle Bunker in over a year! With lockdown restrictions still in place, we had 5 players across 2 tables. Steven and Jonathan played what looked like a ‘to the death’ engagement on Table 1, whilst Tony and Dave faced off in a ‘capture the flag’ style encounter. Both games were played in the 700-1250 point bracket. Stu took on the role of ‘rules and pics guy’ for the night 🙂
I think in the main, we got most of the rules right but I guess that will come back with time. Most importantly everyone had fun and lots of engines were killed (either intentionally or by cascading system failures of ever increasing intensity!)

- 1250 points is a nice size to play in a couple of hours
- We need to add some LOS blocking terrain big enough for Warlords
- Melta Cannons can be lethal (especially when they scatter back onto the titan that fired them)
- Titan Drop Pods, big as they are, can still miss the planet altogether
- Dice can never be trusted
- The Open War Deck is a great addition to the game
Next Game Night
We’re booked in to Battle Bunker from 6PM again next Thursday – 27/05/21. It’ll be another night of pick-up games, sticking to the 700-1250 point bracket. See you then 🙂
