About an hour after the morning patrols headed out, a swarm of Oerbergers rode over the hills.

| The Oerberg artillery was not up to its usual standard today. So far, their 2 guns have fired 12 dice on the redoubt, looking for 5's and 6's, and inflicted 1 hit! |
Today didn't go quite as planned though. I had various duties elsewhere, not to mention distractions, and it was late afternoon before I could sort out the armies, scrape up Oerberg reinforcements, review the rules, sort out a scenario, and get the game underway. All under the watchful eye of an omnipresent, hungry, female cat lacking the late Hector's affinity for toy soldiers.
As the fifth turn drew to a close, just a little later then the usual feeding time at the zoo, Minnow finally decided it was time for me to go back on duty and feed the hungry masses, or her anyway.
The game will resume tomorrow with a battle report ready for Monday morning if all goes well.
Ah, yeah, some cats are more patient with their underlings. And some know what they want and when they want it! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, she is the Queen....
DeleteCats are a varied lot. Of the three here two know well enough that I am not okay with them being on my desk with the models. Loudface, now he's a right nightmare.
ReplyDeleteOld Hector never put a foot wrong. The Minnow has been known to jump up on a shelf when feeling ignored and neglected and to casually start batting figures on to the floor. It works. (or did did till I rearranged)
DeleteI don't have the excuse of a cat for not doing anything!
ReplyDeleteI don't need one really but...
DeleteDo cats count as hard or soft cover ?
ReplyDeleteRandom event, more like drifting fog than cover but she is rather soft. Apart from the claws.

ReplyDeleteGood grief! Never had such a cat as that. Very gentle souls with things that aren't tasty.
