I've been in isolation for 10 days, gotta have a small op this Friday. So to help relieve the boredom, I organized a small game for the Rejects.
We played the 15mm French Indian War game on Zoom last night. Unfortunately, I was using my phone to broadcast the game to the lads. So I couldn't take any pics during the game. All these pics are from the end after the French had suffered a damn good thrashing!
The 60th Royal Americans are taking on a unit of Coueror de Bois while a random bear rooms the woods behind them.
A combined Grenadiers unit stand side by side with the 77th Foot Mongomeries Highlanders
We played a dummed down version of Donnybrook, just to make it easier on me!
The battle from the French side, a lone French infantry regt Artois, can be seen hiding in the woods. I didn't expect the game to swing around sideways as it did? It was a fairly even game, although the Brits did seem to have a lot more dice throwing luck than the French.
And it was me throwing all the dice as well!!!
Next time I'll try and get some pics.
Good to see that you are staying in touch with your compatriots during this time, Ray.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Not sure when we'll be able to meet up for a proper game?
DeleteGlad you were able to play even though not in person. Too much to distance there or wear a mask that long?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, hopefully we'll get a proper game in soon?
DeleteGreat stuff, Ray, and am pleased you're getting some games in despite the self-isolation. Good luck with the upcoming op and hope you swiftly recover. Take care :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Simon.
DeleteGreat looking game Ray!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you approve.
DeleteGreat looking game. I ran my first game last week over zoom. Needed a gaming fix
ReplyDeleteIt's hard work but well worth it.
DeleteIt was a great game. Mind you, I would say that as the C/O of the winning side! Well done Ray.
ReplyDeleteIt was the best I've soon you roll in ages too!
DeleteGreat game Ray and good luck with the op!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sir M, on both counts!
DeleteAwesome game, Ray! Thanks
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Vasikiy
Cheers Vasiliy
DeleteGreat to be able to play face to face here again (at present anyhow) but isnt it excellent that we have tech like Zoom etc to allow this.
ReplyDeleteZoom is a fantastic bit of kit. Shame it's taken covid for us to realise it.
DeleteIve yet to try gaming over zoom but good on you for giving it a go. Good luck with your small procedure. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew, give it a go.
DeleteFantastic looking game sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal.
DeleteFun looking F&IW gaming, Ray!
ReplyDeletethanks Dean, sure was!
DeleteLooks fab, but no matter how bad the French get beat there will be a lot of trouble when you ask the colonists to help pay for your efforts ;)
ReplyDeleteZoom gaming, now that's something to try.
Cheers Paul, Zoom its not like normal gaming but you get that long forgotten (so it seems!) fix.
DeleteNice work running the game Ray - we have been using Teams at work quite a bit - mainly for Friday drinks all at home but drinking together for three hours on a Friday evening and no need to worry about limits cos we don't have to drive home - every cloud had a silver lining - or two! Good luck with your op.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, Glad your having fun too.
DeleteWell done getting in a game with live opponents and handling movement, dice rolling and keeping others informed!
ReplyDeleteIt was hard work I gotta admit, but well worth the effort.
