Saturday we went to Rickmansworth to play at the
Herts of Lard wargaming show. So we were up early and out the door to
get there for the 09.30 start. After some confusion we arrived at the
right hall to be greeted by Joe Bilton announcing the start of the
games.
In
the morning session, I played a Call of Cthulhu variant of What a
Cowboy.
This was a skirmish game playing as faculty members of the
Miskatonic University who were chasing a thief
who'd stolen a page from the Necronomicon. We were intercepted by other
cultists who also wanted the manuscript the thief had stolen.
We lost.
In
the afternoon, I played in a Chain of Command game of US paratroops
versus Fallshirmjager with Gary who posted this video on YouTube.
We played as the US, in a game of two halves. The first, the US doing a good job of tying up the Germans. In the second
half the US advance ground to a halt due to my ineffective leadership.
These were the first games I've played in a long time, and I really must be more proactive about getting out and having fun, as the day made me realize what I've been missing out on.
