Just got back from a very cool Dragon Rampant game day in beautiful Gig Harbor – lovely drive over the Narrows Bridge spanning Puget Sound. It was held in the Gig Harbor Public Library – no charge and very low-key. Pat L. was the host again, as he had done for the Lion Rampant game day last September. The usual suspects attended; great folks with some beautifully painted armies. I played against David S. (here’s his I Live with Cats blog) and his Centaur-Minotaur warband in the morning. We later played in a doubles game in the afternoon. This time I sided with Scott A. and his Dark Elf army against David and Ron B. with his Conquistador-Ogre warband. Granted, some of these are carry overs from previous WHFB armies; like my Men of the West warband using Empire figures. I lost both games, but with some satisfaction as in the first game, David’s warband leader was killed off before mine. The second game had me failing multiple shooting and attack activations with my Elite Foot, which could’ve decimated Ron’s units. Without further blabbing, here are some images of today’s games. I apologize upfront for not knowing some of the names or type of warbands of my fellow gamers.

My unit of Elite Foot with Missiles. Having the Ranger rule, their attacks, defence and armour are unaffected in rough terrain. They would’ve done a lot better except for my bad dice rolls.

Early deployment of my Men of the West warband in the first game against David’s Centaurs. Heavy Foot in the foreground and the old Empire Luminark in the distance – it was used as a single-model Heavy Missile unit.

Close-up of the Luminark – my buddy took this picture and I stole it off of his post on our group’s Facebook – PNW Rampant.

James D’s Neolithic warband vs. Al R’s warband with cool looking scorpions.

My buddy Rod’s Men of the West warband – these are figures I sold off at Enfilade a couple of years ago. I didn’t know he was the one who bought them. Great to see them again in his possession.

Pat’s Dwarf warband being used by a new player

Daryl’s cool looking warband – again not sure the type or name, but a lot of former WHFB figures.

An exceptionally cool Artic/Antartic warband from Bryan S.

Bruce S’s Undead warband vs. Mike G’s Dwarf warband

David S’s Minotaurs vs. the Men of the West’s Heavy Foot.

Men of the West battle line in the doubles game; Scott’s allied Dark Elf army in the distance.

Men of the West Heavy Foot in the foreground and Heavy Missile (Steam Tank) in the distance – I substituted the Steam Tank for the Luminark for the second game.

Heavy Missiles – Steam Tank firing from the woodline.

Heavy Riders with Mounted Missiles using village for cover.

Bryan’s penguins in combat with James‘ Mammoth and cave dudes.

We have another Lion/Dragon Rampant game day in March. Additionally, I have committed to running several Lion Rampant Wars of the Roses games at Enfilade in May. Best to you all until my next post – whatever and whenever that may be.
