Burton FoGR Doubles

So, this weekend I was up in the brewing capital of the UK playing FoGR and drinking whisky.

I teamed up with Dave A from the club and we used a Scotish army and managed to place fifth! We were playing for third place on the final round when we ran up against Alistar and Paddy....

So, not too bad, we only lost our army to the 1st and 2nd seeds...

here are the results

USK 2012

Bit of a late post, but I got to go to Usk for the first FoGR comp of the year. Usk is a small town in Wales and is the home of the author of FoG and FoGR.

The comp was a themed comp with any army before 1600AD and no musket troops. I partnered up with Tim ( the mad axeman) and his French Hugonauts.

We managed to place fifth, so very happy with that.

Burton 2012

I'm off to Burton for the FoGR doubles competition. I'm partnering with Dave A from the club and we are using his Scots Covenant army.

Should be interesting to play.

The comp is a themed comp, all armies before 1600AD and no musket troops.

This is the same as the last comp in USK which was a hoot.

Godendag FoGR comp

First comp of the year.

It's a doubles comp in Usk, Wales. We are entering the FogR with a Louis the 12th army (I think).

The comp is themed, so, no armies with muskets. That's our period.

Will be interesting to see how all of the mass bow armies go.

As always, there will be a pint and curry.....

2012

So, it's 2012.

let's see if I can do better with my comp scores.

Looking to move from the 1 big lose, 1 big win and two loosing draws.

Hmmmmm

Warfare 2011 wrap up

So, overall the Germans did OK. Nothing spectacular, just OK. The choice of light horse didn't really add much to the army. They managed to get killed off in most games and didn't really add much to the game.

One thing I need to add is some rough terrain troops. The pike and shot can't do difficult terrain, which caused me some issues.

Ohh well, back to the drawing board and time to get ready for the next comp.

Warfare rnd 4

8-12 lose to Muslem Indians.

Managed to pull a draw out of the bag vs what started out as a bad matchup. My opponent had six elephants, lots of shooty cav and his flank march arrived.

Very frustrating game as my run of 1s continued for much of the game.

Curse the dice gods!
