Zomtober 2016 (Week 3 FAIL)

Rubbish migraines and neck pain ruined all my plans to get any painting done last week, so I'll have to try to make it up at a later date. So no new zombies or even painting in general to show. Apologies.

I did get to play a couple of game of Saga with my friend Stewart in honour of the 950th anniversary of The Battle of Hastings, which illustrated just how much Saxon face can be smashed in by Norman cavalry... Yes, I, the Saxon player lost both games. O well, keeping it historical, right? :)

My battle plans were great, it was the dice gov', honest.
This Thursday will be my 40th birthday and so I'll try to get something done for my next post amongst all the planned celebrations.

      They were pushed around after a little movement nudged my saxons into them. We forgot to put them back in their original positions thereafter...

    No worries hope you are feeling better this week. I am suffering with man flu this week and not feeling like doing anything at all apart from wallowing in tissues and lemsips!

      The most dreaded of all flus at that! You get better sir!

      A good massage should cure it, at least for this week! :P

      It was indeed a fun game regardless of my crappy generalship!

      I did, thanks Iain!

    I saw a reenactment of Hastings on the site itself a few years ago. Glorious!

    We still lost though.

    I hope to play SAGA one day...

      It's a fun and straight forward set of rules and you don't have to paint up a 100 minis to have a playable army, so that's cool too.
