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.

Thursday Night Song of Blades and Heroes
Hello!
Steve, Paul, Eric, and I got together and started our campaign for the Song of Blade and Heroes game (SBH). Paul had an Elf list using his painted Harlequins, Eric ran Alexia the Necromancer with a few Risen undead and living support, Steve had his five Gladiator crew, and I ran a no shooting list with a solid leader, some heavy armor guys, an Ogre, a cheap shield mage, a dog, and a stealth dude.
Paul and I paired off since it was his first game - It went pretty good for me as I should have died a few times, but Paul and I kept tying on the combat rolls. The Elves have a real high Quality stat that keeps them in there activations, but the lower Combat score hurt there ability to fight the big guy.
In the end, I whittled down the Elves only loosing my Shield Mage. We talked about list building with the ideas, namely the author's dislike of shooting tactics and their higher cost value.
Eric and Steve's game was fought on the nice city terrain as the Gladiator's came out of the graveyard (?) to attack the Necromancer in the Inn (?) -- Silly Scenarios! The Low Quality hurts the Undead plus Eric forgot their special rule of getting a +2 on Moral checks. Opps!
I expect that Paul and Eric are going to revamp the lists for round two as they needed some tuning.
Tomorrow is Nuke Con Game Day. If your board, feel free to come by for a game!
