The Battle of Harkner’s Forge, Oct 15, 4013.

 

Well after having about a month go by, we finally manage to get another epic game in. Any ways a few words from the chaos commander……………

Just when I begin to lament the current wargames scene in Bundaberg, Greg, Trent, and I get into another “epic game of Epic”, and all seems right again. Last nights game proved to be as good as any I’ve ever played. It was close, varied, lots of decisions, lots of laughs, aesthetically pleasing, and since we were both playing with new (to us) armies, there were a great number of surprises both good and bad. This week we abandoned our usual Armour-Heavy IG or Knightworld vs. Space Marine armies and tried out Greg’s impressive looking Necrons vs my Chaos Marines (very nicely painted by Greg).  Both armies were vastly different in content &  playing style than we’d previously used. I sorely missed my SM’s ‘they shall know no fear”, but I also got larger units. Quantity has a quality all its own. The Necrons ability to flit from one transporter to another was a real headache and as Greg & Trent refine this use, I can foresee some tough times ahead. Luck evened out I figure. Trent made some really spectacular saves. I get 5 hits, he rolls 5 saves! Arrrrrgh! Very demoralizing. Still, I won 2 fire fights I should have lost near the end of the game, so luck evened out. In the end it was a hard fought draw. In short, a very enjoyable game and a good time had by all. We moved a bit slower with our unfamiliar armies, so it was after Midnight before the armies withdrew and peace returned to Harkner’s Forge.
