Hi Guys,
Sorry for those of you who have E-mailed me and not received back a speedy response. My new apartment still does not have an active phone line or Internet access so unless I'm by the old place, I'm cut off from the world. This week the lines should be activated so hopefully we'll see it happen then.
This was a good weekend.
One Friday night, my friends Vince, Joel and I drove down to Lodi for a Starfleet Battles game and had a great time. We went out to pizza and socialized to no end. The game was quick and we shot the bull after that. We had a fairly simple two-on-two with two Lyran cruisers versus two ISC cruisers. The optimal tactic for Lyrans would have been to stay at distance and plink away at the ISC, but we didn't want a long boring game so we, the Lyrans (Jeff and I), charged in and the ensueing melee was pretty even with both sides having torn up ships before we decided to call the game a draw and move on. It was a good night.
Saturday was the date of The Shield Gaming Conference and my friend Dick stopped by to pick me up around 10:00am and we made our was down to The Shield and got gaming. ?
We first played in a pirates game using the ruleset from the guys in Chico. Dick played zombies on a few canoes and I played the spanish galleon trying to escape with the uber treasure. And then there were the numerous pirates skiffs... about eight of them... bad news for me!
The Spanish galleon did escape, but with heavy damage and most of the crew killed. Dick's island zombieswere hell on the pirates. His shaman kept on turning pirate crew members into zombies, which spread havoc amongst a goodly part of the pirates... who in turn turned on each other like good back-hearted pirates do.
Only two or three or the pirate vessels chased the Spanish galleon (my vessel), but they rolled well and I was trying to break the record for rolling 1s and 2s on a D10!
It was a fun game!
Later that evening, Dick and I played in the DBA torunament, which was fun. We had eight players and played a heat of four rounds. At the end of four rounds, I got a big surprise... I WON! Go figure!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
P.S.
And, of course, I bought a few goodies at the trade area...
