100 Game Pics #1

In another thread our fellow F:ATtie Thaadd mentioned that she's doing a blog in which she is to upload at least 1 photo everyday for 100 days.  I made a comment to Mikoyan about not having my own blog and Thadd busted me by reminding me that The Fort has it's very own blog sections (duh! I forgot I had two entries already.) She then challenged me to take 100 game photos. I thought...."what the hell".  So here I am  with my first entry. 

 To be realistic, I doubt I'm gonna do 1 a day but I'll try to do it at least once per week with a short write-up of some sort. I'm not promising anything spectacular but maybe, just  maybe I can give you all a little glimpse into my world of gaming.

Simulated to represent the previous evening's winning move.

I played Napoleon's Triumph for the first time with my Geekbuddy  Ramito  on Friday night.  It was pretty much back and forth with Ramito (the Alllies) wearing me down into the third last turn of the Dec.2 scenario.

I was down to my last morale point (as the French), with the Allies up 4 points.  On my turn as a last ditch attempt I made an attack by road with my 2 strength cavalry into the south of Buntowitz. The Allies revealed a two strength infantry unit which promptly retreated (losing 1 strength) to the east of Buntowitz. Knowing I could run those bastards down I continued the attack. Unfortunately for the Allies they had all three of their units in that locale blocking different approaches. My attack  eliminated the Inf. and caused losses from each of the three infantry units in their  approaches to reduce the Allies' morale from 3 to  -1 for the victory. It was fucking sweet!

Even though it took about 3.5 hours, if we had the time I would have set-up, switched sides and had another go. This game is that fucking good. Brain-burner ? Mmm....sure, but I was buzzing from what had been happening during that entire session.

It would be a crime not to do this again. Soon.
