Well there's been a bit of a gap in blog posts since my last post back in September. Lots of excuses... work has been pretty manic, lots of family 'stuff' going on, a trip back home to Glasgow for a few days (and an epic 13 hour trip back on multiple trains thanks to Storm Amy), but also thanks to a general lack of enthusiasm for everything that has descended this year.
Still, I managed to perk myself up and have been out for some great boardgames in the last few weeks including a couple of games of Kingmaker, Crusader Kings, and another game of Battle of Hoth. Kingmaker and CK are great games and create really narrative stories. In our Kingmaker game the entire Lancastrian royal family died of plague in a single turn thanks to a very unlucky plague event! Lord Percy was able to calmly march into York, announce that he was just been appointed an Archbishop and crown Richard!
In the Battle of Hoth this time round I played the next scenario in the book and took the Imperial side for a change, where I discovered that ATATs aren't the indestructible monsters I'd hoped they would be as the rebel scum blew mine up quickly in the game.
The game was very close but the Rebels managed to nick the last victory point and I guess run back to their base to prepare to evacuate, while Darth Vader asks some serious questions of the Imperial Commanders!!
