Games Played

Michael, Alex, Jim, Dave and Ben played Defenders of the Realm.  Chalk up another loss for the defenders.

Lionel and Dave played Tide of Iron.  Dave’s US forces made a successful assault on the not-that-heavily defended target zone in the intro scenario.  Lionel’s German defenders were outnumbered by the assaulting US squads and fell quickly.  This scenario may not have been overly balanced.

Michael, Alex, Jim and Ben played Civilization.  It was a long game, and Michael’s Chinese empire was ultimately victorious.

Lionel, Chris and Dave played Pirates of the Spanish Main.  Chris sunk Lionel’s and Dave’s ships, earning the title of most fearsome pirate of the high seas!

Michael and Dave played BattleLore.  Again they played the first scenario, Agincourt, but they switched sides.  This time Michael was able to restore the historical balance, winning four flags to two.

Michael, Jim and Dave played Defenders of the Realm.  This was a rough game from turn one, and the heroes were only able to defeat one general before the game ended.

Michael, Jim and Dave played Defenders of the Realm.  This time the heroes did much better, and were able to take out three of the generals, but the countryside was overrun with minions and the land was too corrupted.  It was close to a win, but once again the heroes fell short.
