Cancon - Game 4, 5, 6

(Jan 24 & 25, 2010)

(Wow - over a year ago... long time no blog! I'll finish the Cancon 2010 entries, since I'm started now. Just a few photos to wrap up)

So Game 4 against Luke and his Parthians. Actually got stuck into it in this one, and the Heavy Weapons guys get their game on against his Pikes somehow. On the right flank I manage to damage his swirling Light Horse as well. However, as hard as I tried, I just couldn't put it to bed - so finished with a 15 - 5 win at time. A good moral boost at this point of the comp.


Game 5 - against Stephen and his Early Macedonian Successors.
Facing another wall of pikes today - feeling good about pikes off the back of the previous game - so went at them hard. Not helped by another very sparse tabletop (these Medium foot HW are meant to be good in Rough - if I could ever get any to stick to the table!)
As you would expect - got spanked by the pike. Fun game though, especially with the die-hard remnants of the Heavy Weapons hanging in for so long at the end. 6-19 loss.

Game 6 - against Ian and something Viking-ish... Yeah - end of comp exhaustion was setting in.
Messed up deployment, completely out-of-whack (see photo) and then proceeded to just throw it away. Not that I was sure what I was doing anyway against this foe... N00b!
Got smashed - 0-25
Still had fun though. I'm in it for pushing lead and dice rolling, so I definitely got lots of that!
