It has been many, many years, since I got down on the floor to play toy soldiers. The game involved Airfix toy soldiers and marbles, as I recall. Yesterday my regular opponent Sean, and I, played out an Apocylypse game with super-heavy tanks.
Sean's loyalists were trying to run armoured fist units through a smashed up hab complex on Vrak. The heretical Cardinal's men (me) were trying to blunt the assault. We finally settled on a draw. I immobilised a Baneblade and shot up four Chimeras stopping the attack but I lost a Leman Russ and had a Malcador very heavily damaged (almost certainly a combat loss as it would never get back home).
The game plays quite differently at this scale. Lascannons are often out of range. A Shadowsword needs to hang well back out of lascannon range.
Great fun. Next time Sean vows to field his titan.
Great blog John!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's great to see you and your pal playing like that! As a vet, I'm glad to see that I'll have full of years of playing front of me!
