Lost Opportunity

Well, I had a short amount of time this morning, so I headed for the game which was set up and 3 turns in. Then I remembered  that the plan had been to go grid free and to try my MacDuff rules on the small table. So I  reorganized the troops and started over.

The MacDuff game in progress. The cards indicate units that have activated this turn.

I messed up the scenario unit conversion and the arrival mechanism a little but the game was still OK. However, by the time the game was half done, the old card activation just wasn't  "doing it" for me anymore. So, I reset the game again and started playing with my usual rules.

It was going nicely but by the time I was halfway through, time was up! It was time to clear the table so I  could use it as a worktable to paint shelves for an expanded walk-in bedroom closet which I'm building.

I should have my table back by Sunday  and time to reset the table and play a game all the way through.

  1. Ross Mac,

    I look forward to seeing how your battle goes, once you manage to get past the halfway mark!

    All the best,

    1. I was thinking to restart it but now that the table is 2/3 cleared, it might come back in a different period.

  5. Nothing wrong with the occasional mulligan.

    But honestly, would it have been a real battle if everything had gone smoothly?

  7. This table may be your most eclectic bunch of figures yet!
