Wargames Audit: Warmachine and Hordes

Audit. A word that strikes fear into managers everywhere. If you’re in a business area that doesn’t get audited I envy you! That said taking stock of any activity can be a healthy exercise, so in this series of posts I’m going to reflect on what games I play and how I’ve fared with them [...]

MacBain, Alexia and some Pirates

I’ve been playing the Privateers (on and off) since early last year and I think I’m pretty good with Shay and okay with Fiona. I’ve never given Broadsides a go – I’m not a huge fan of the ranged game, but a few weeks ago I picked up Drake MacBain. Since reading the Mercenaries Forces [...]

Grab the popcorn and a big soda… this one is nearly 13 minutes long! This is my first game using the new SR2011 Command and Control scenario, which has radial deployment and multi-objectives. It was fun! Owen

The Privateers Hurt My Head!

I’ve been playing Shae’s tier list for about six months now so I decided to jot down some observations. After coming from the relative simplicity of playing Khador the Privateers really challenged me. I’ve found three things needed to be mastered to get the most out of the Privateers – Synergy, Deployment and Activation order. [...]

The practice is over …

I’ve had a good couple of months practice with the Privateers and I think I have a pretty good handle on how they operate. My order of activation is working, well, most of the time and I rarely trip over myself too much. I managed to get two final practice games in on Tuesday ahead [...]

Shae vs eHaley (35pt Battle Overview)

Lenny and I got a Steamroller practice game in on Tuesday and I’m slowing getting the hang of the Privateers. That said, I spread the army too far and fell into Lenny’s (well laid) trap, i.e. lots of ranged attacks zeroed in on the scenario (Incursion) objectives! He had good concealment and cover for most [...]

Shae vs Skarre (35pt Battle Overview)

Oh boy is the Commodore Cannon a powerful beast! It blasted Gerlak Slaughterborn into Skarre, knocking her down and dealing a little damage. Then a marshaled Mariner followed up with a boosted damage cannon shot on her and that dropped her down to 4 boxes of damage. Peter had been rightly reluctant to come near [...]

Shae vs Absylonia (35pt Battle Overview)

In my last post about the Privateers I claimed Phinneus Shae is a hard man to kill! Well, Typhon proved this evening that is not the case. It took three boosted sprays, one of which that missed, but the Legion character beast got the job done… Joe’s 35pt force was led by Absylonia and he [...]
