As The Other Half is wont to ask, "Isn't 12 hours of gaming enough"... It is a rhetorical question I am sure, because I think she knows the answer...
It started out with a Warmachine tournament that Adam ran. 35 point steam roller with 8 players. First round I was matched up with Wayne playing Cryx and Montenabra in a Kill Box scenerio. Wayne played it very well, and I left an unseen charge lane to eButch for the Deathjack (Overun for the win) which left him dead. Quick and deadly, not how I expected the game.
Round two was versus Tony and eFeorra. Tony went on a assassination run, letting it all hang out, but ended with three points shy. Lola to face for the win. Statistically, on average rolls Tony should have had the win on that one, but his dice crapped out on him
Round three was versus Lincoln Alex and Aspy. A little more involved game, but I I kept missing a stupid Deathripper needing sixes and accidentally killed my own berserker. This left a free line for the slayer to combo strike eButch to shreads.
I ended 1-2, but Adam ran a solid event and I had a good time, even if I was getting a bit brain dead doing basic math.
Eric and I went to grab a bite to eat at a new Mexican place called Antojitos. No website, but here are the two reviews posted. It was really pretty good food for a little hole in the wall. Recommend the trip for lunch or dinner. I'll be hitting more often for Tuesday night dinners before heading to the shoppe!
After dinner Eric and Paul got their first campaign game in for Song of Blade and Heroes. They ran an Assassination game (again!) in the Hill Lands with Paul's Wolves of Orboros lead by Kiya and other druids hunting down Eric's Ex-King Vinter and his magical revenge tour. (Ok... I made that last bit up!) Vinter refused to be bullied by the dirty hippies and moved his forces out to confront the enemy that would dare to 'hunt' him down. That didn't work so well. Paul took Vinter out which ended the game. Eric had lost Vinter and two of his Halberdars. The halberdars will miss a game each, while Vinter picked up Hatred of Dirty Hippies (Wolves specifically), additionally he found a Trap while exploring and the Harlot did a stand up job of disarming it to find 5 gold. Kiya then found a 'Blessed Glade' and a Charmstone along with his win.
We then broke out Formula D and did a 2 car team, 2 lap race on the Sebring track. That took a bit longer then normal given that we had to track two cars each, but it wasn't too bad. Paul had a large lead, but crashed his lead car leaving me in first place, with Eric pretty far behind in second. Eric crashed his rear car on a bad roll around a corner. I finished in first, with second place in debate. Paul's second car crashed coming out of the corner, in sight of the finish line while Eric and I battled the final corner, neither of us with break or tires to spare. I timed out the roll nicely allowing me to accelerate in 4th gear out of the corner and putting me just ahead. Fun game.
It was a fun day of gaming.

12 hours? Pish, give me 20!

Saturday Game Day
The local convention, Nuke Con, hosted a Games Day at a local high school on Saturday. I ran several events and had a pretty good, solid day of gaming.
Dominion - Had two games with three different students. They caught on to the game quickly and we had a good time as I hadn't seen a few of the cards we used in play. Namely the Witch, whom I have been cursed now several times, and the Gardens, which is what helped me to win the first round.
Pandemic - Again, two games with a set of three students. We played the base set plus expanded roles on round one and had know issues containing the viruses, having won with a good round or two of cards left to be drawn. Second game we used the Virulent Epidemics, which made it a bit harder. We did win, but had to do it on the last draw.
Formula D - Only had two kids on this one. First race was Monnoco. One of the kids got over aggressive early and had to sneak around the rest of the track. Second race was Race City on the back with me crashing into the wall, leaving one of the kids to finish in first.
Song of Blades and Heroes - Steve and Paul showed up around 430ish and we played two games of three way battles of SBH. It worked out pretty well as a whole. The first game was to capture the 'Ring of Power' in the center of the table. Eric and I met in the center early and bashed heads, with my leader grabbing the coin and falling back. Following the gruesome kill on Bobbie the Ogrun, Victor did some fleeing, dropping the ring. Paul's Paladin leader steps up and snags the ring and heads towards the deployment safe zone. Solid win for Paul. Game two was a king of the hill type scenario. I switched to a dwarf list and Paul made a small adjustment to his leader. Paul jumped to a big lead holding the hill due to bad activation roles by both Eric and I. It was a big bloody mess, with Eric whittled down to Zarzathor, his Dragonborn Leader, left on the table, a few of Paul's Paladin friends, but the leader being gone, and I was down to my Dwarf Lord and a Thunder Gunner. Some how, the Dwarf Lord stood the longest on the hill, but Paul's force took the day with the most victory points.
Good times.
Really looking forward to the SBH league on our alternating Thursday. Bill and Bob may be joining in too, which would be cool as they have been playing for some time.

Week Summary
Had two gaming events this week.
Tuesday's normal game day at the Game Shoppe had us continue our slow grow league at 35 points. I had a game with Mike S and his Cryx. He ran Denegra and I had the Butcher, again. Solid game, but his assassin run didn't quite get the run it needed and the Butcher was able to apply Lola to face, though it was close call.
Afterwards, Tony brought a friend and we gave him a demonstration of the game. He has the summer off, so he was looking for a non-WoW hobby.
Saturday, Steve, Eric and I got together and played Rune Wars. It was a brutal game. I had the Elves, Steve the Humans, and Eric the undead. I started very strong, but only had two food and messed up my timing and lost several elves the first two seasons as I expanded. Eric's undead had a nice enclosed protected area, and Steve looked to be in the tough spot. However, Steve was able to expand and roll, making great use of his units to clear out my Elven homeland and rolling to a victory in the end.
Paul showed up near the end of Rune Wars and when we wrapped up we played Formula D. Four car, two lap race in France. Paul had poll position, then me, Steve, followed by Eric. Steve stalled on the start and looked to be doomed, but by 1/2 way through the first lap had taken the lead. It was a cool track allowing 6th gear a few times. I crashed on the second lap failing to stop once in a two turn corner. Paul followed shortly afterwards. This allowed Steve to coast to a first place finish with Eric nursing it into second.
We talked about playing on Thursday nights every other week for Song of Heroes and Blades league. Hopefully we can get that worked out.
Great night of gaming guys. Thanks much!

Saturday Gaming
So I've been real slow in getting game stuff on the blog. Been a tough month for gaming.
On Saturday I went to the Shoppe after my work out and played three games of Warmacine. First game was a bonus game against Mike C. I played Butcher, Devastator, Full Man O War unit and a Manhunter. He played a bunch of pointy eared elves... I can't tell them apart... He misjudged some distances with his caster (Eagle dude) and failed a charge on the Butcher, allowing him to return the favor.
Second game was against Paul A. as a league game. He had Ashlynn list with Precursor Knights, Nomad, & Rupert. Not a bad list, but not a lot of 'fodder' for getting in the way or big hitters to take out MoW/Jacks. I ended up trampling the Devastator to Ashlynn and getting her with the buzz saw.
Third game was another bonus game with Eric F. He was playing Reznik, which is always tricky given Engine of Destruction. I can't remember all the details of Eric's list, but it was a good game.
Afterwards Eric, Adam, Mike and I played two games of Formula D. We tried the street racing rules on the first game. Made for interesting play with the Nitro rules. Eric took first, I snuck in on second due to Mike's spin out. Second game was traditional on the Sebring track. I won, with Eric in second and Adam coming in third, while Mike crashed.
Good games all around. Thanks guys!

Coming into the first corner...
Greetings,
Saturday saw two races in the Grand Prix League for Formula D. We had two new teams, Mark's Team Death with Frankenstein & Stalker and Jake's Team Gumby with Gumby & Argos.
The first race was Sepal Malaysia. Tough course with three injuries being taken, including our first fatality with Gumby himself dying on the first corner of the first turn. Hard luck. We only had four wreck markers on the table, but many of them were double ups from dropped engines and suspensions in the same spot. However, three of those four were on the first turn, making it tough passage for us slow pokes. Frankenstein took an early lead and never looked back making a spectacular race for his first time on the circuit. Zur finished second, with SPR's Chewie taking third. Team Ariete's Marboni came in fourth.
The second race switched to the United States with a three lap event at Watkins Glen, NY. This race was fast, with plenty of 4th gear action in the snaking turns. Again, Frankenstein, quickly becoming a nemesis to all racers and adored by his fans, took an early lead and held off Luigi to finish first. Third went to Team Zealot, who moved into tying position with Team Ariete for the Grand Prix Cup. Chaos' Val brought in 4th while BJ Foyt and Chewie finished. 6 wreak markers littered the track, but all racers finished despite the bump and grind.
