[<\/strong> \"Amused\" Mood:<\/strong> Amused ]<\/strong>
Tonight Team Cthulhu had an impromptu game night event. It was pretty off the cuff and the only thing I wanted to play was Pirates! I was a little late out of the gate because of prior evening events (I blame our host for hauling me to a bar where I gave my money to struggling unclothed young women in need of financial assistance). Anyway, I got the ham and beans cooking and we were off!<\/p>\n

We started with Wizkids Pirates!<\/a> and set out the always cool oceanic table and 3 d islands. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ahoy!<\/p>\n

We all headed for various and sundry wild islands trying to avoid one another at first…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That didn’t last long though as Ed developed a taste for battle and sent his whole fleet after Corey’s armada of fast moving junks (trust me, there were tons of ‘junk’ jokes…we are gamers after all).<\/p>\n

In the distance, conflict was brewing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which turned into one of the biggest fleet vs fleet fights we’ve seen so far. Many rules were debated. I am going to look at the errata asap.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Corey went on to win what was a fairly close round. He really did put together a great fleet.<\/p>\n

Of course all of this overseen by the mighty Sherman, in a stylin’ Team Cthulhu shirt. He is seeking a sponsorship here.(The bloodthirsty Pirate Ed is in the background)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After that we decided to play some HorrorClix<\/a>. Craig suggested with number of people we do a scenario type game and suggested a Dawn of the Dead type scenario he had from on line. We didn’t have a mall map, so we used an office map. We then divided into two teams of 400 points each, three to a side, survivors vs. zombies.<\/p>\n

Survivors: Myself, Ed and Sherman.<\/p>\n

Zombies: Corey, Mike and Craig.<\/p>\n

This proved to be a pretty evenly matched game (in spite of some griping by Mike to the contrary). We set up and started moving our forces into position.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nBattle split into two fronts, with Sherman and Ed trying to contain Corey’s forces of zombie sorrority girls and lawyers on one side…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and my very effective force of two agents and a priest creating a killer bottleneck on the other.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On my side the slaughter was pretty immense and I only lost one guy. It came down to my remaining forces against one lone zombie lawyer. Corey conceeded making this my first ever HorrorClix win (and my team of course).<\/p>\n

Being full and tired we decided to play some Fantasy Munchkin to finish out the night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Things got wild at the end…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All in all, for an off the cuff TC game night, a good time and some good eats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
