Me and my gaming buddies had a game of Epic A after a long hiatus:

The battle of veyensk

The game was about 5000 a side and we had a howling good time. We probably play less competitive than most people... so some of the formation will seem silly and some of the action will not make sense if you've got your tournament glasses on.

However - we had a lot of fun! Best moment was a rough rider squadron led by Jared Diamond making a glorius last ditch against an enemy gargant... failing utterly, after which a single guardsman stand (of 12 shooting) managed to hit and dent the gargant (which was down to 1 DC) to death with his las rifle! Unbelievable.

Great scenery and minis, shame I can make out only one or two words of the report.
No pics of the glorious RR charge?

hehe. The bat rep is being written continuously so far the dude who is writing it is in turn 2 somewhere. I believe there should be pics of the RR's soon.  :cool:

I hope to get it translated at some point and put it on my page though.

Perhaps google translate can help you meanwhile?

Happy you like it.

The terrain was actually an amalgation of Erik's and my own. My terrain is meant for American Civil War 6mm, but this day it was a small Imperial Agro-world!

You gotta love the flexibility of the 40k universe  :vD

Love the terrain! What a great looking board.  :agree:  I noticed Jared Diamond has been promoted from author to Commissar!

Thank you!

I hope to top the terrain when we meet up again in three months time.

Plan is to make a large Imperial fortress that will be under siege from a LOT of orks.
