Resurrection / Resurrection ... Hi! After a long break due to my own negligence I decided to finally come out of creative torpor. :)
There is no better way than doing a little sneak peak, a mini-account and a handful of thoughts from two days of the Convention Grenadier, 2010. Traditionally, (like years ago) presented with Wookushem battle system. This year, thanks to Thomas forum strategie.net.pl "hit" in the our hands off Ambush Alley: Force on Force, so we decided to present it to the wider community wargamingowej in and around Warsaw.
what it is worth noting at the outset, Grenadier was held for the first time in a formula two days, and most importantly - in the new location: inside the Citadel Museum in Warsaw. In my humble opinion, is to change a "a plus". The combination of presentations on the sports air battle games (apart from us was: Cold War Commander, Flames of War, DBA, IOM, the author's laboratory systems modeling and STRATEG GROT); planszówek (strategie.net.pl strong team), along with active and, above all loud presentations of historical reconstruction groups build a specific, very positive atmosphere.
About the same shows I can not say too much, because the entire eight hours we were busy playing and explaining the mechanics of the system, but I look forward to photos of other people. For added flavor I can tell is absent, that the show was smooth, recoiling copies of vehicle-war II: M4 Sherman, Polish TKS, and the insurgent, "Winnie" and a whole bunch of equipment, weapons, uniforms from World War II and more!
First Day First day we started very intensively. Our premiere show of the first was "an active presentation" mentioned above Force'a Force - in a battle scenarios from the period of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Active presentation in its form because, as anyone who wanted to try their hand in the fight, after a brief hearing with the basics of mechanics - could go ahead to join the action on the table. We played a full two scenarios. The AAR-kami wait until I have a set of photos ... At this point I address special thanks to the brothers strategie.net.pl Your forum:
Wookush'a - which always as a neighbor-sparingpartner supports me in action;
Toner'a and
Rrober'a - for supporting us with elements of dioramas and sites; for
Yori'ego figures without which no one would see so many beautifully painted Insurgents Kedyw AK;
Kozak who okrasił climate entire board posters from this period and for a lot of unique vehicles udostępnienił captured and themes from that era -
bravo to all! . After all, do not forget about the players here (eg: Wookush, Rrober, Yori, BNK, Stefan, Rupert ...) the entire audience actively observing and commenting our struggles first day - thank you for your support!
second day second day, unfortunately, seasoned with an aura of bad weather - here highlight the disadvantages of solutions to the presenting of the tent - we were just cold. Rozgrzaliśmy so the audience the second show - the operation of modern games in the series in the style of modern warfare in the desert scenery straight from the Iraq / Afghanistan. The game went on a little slower, due to the constant coming observers, as well as the high turnover of people actively participating in the pilot, "tutorial". We played for only one scenario, but it is rich in Hollywood twists. And the end was so confusing that even Wookush old hand and a specialist from the oppression that is he did not expect: D Unfortunately, I forgot the second day of the camera, so I still wait for pics, videos from cameras. I promise more photos and AAR-ki on both days.
Sunday presentations lasted 2 hours shorter - m.in the time limit (cleaning crews had to clean up the area after the Convention, but the weather was not conducive to the same seat for 19 as the first day). It is worth noting that this day was held in the adjacent "tent bitewniaków" mini-tournament DBA, whose tip had the pleasure see - courageous supporters Achemenidom Yoriego.
sum ... Force Force broke into a roar this year on the "salons". I think the system is so simple, because pretty cool, robust manner of behavior reveals the character of troops on the battlefield (II war and contemporary), and is "easily digestible" both for those who "ate his teeth" on WFB fantasy / sci-fi WH40K, and for those who have only recently begun to be interested in the game battle. Proof of my thesis is the least well-trodden path to the bare soil around our table. Moreover, the very Yori stated that he would do something again in 1:72, which in total can be classified as a successful exorcism: DI did not fail to boldly state that repeat, but privately with someone at home or in a club not one, but several good games in the common group . :)
the same time, emphasize that they do not give up the game in the A: WWII, which unfortunately failed this year ... A pity ... I completely "new faces" came on the first day especially with their models and figures to see him and try their hand at the game (Greetings to Stefan from Czarnolas which was given to us to play Ambush Alley: Force on Force - Establishment of `44!).
this nice accent finish this short mini-documentary. Expect the days AAR-ek, and more pics here on the blogs and forums colleagues www.strategie.net.pl!
Yours!
