Had a very tight and bloody game of Pocket Battles Orc Vs Elves yesterday.
Had a very tight and bloody game of Pocket Battles Orc Vs Elves yesterday. We'd played a lot of the other variants. It was interesting, and I lost by 3 points, a pretty close game. I think I still prefer the Persians, but the regenerating troll was very worth while, while it lasted.

I had never heard of this game (nor this series of games)
ReplyDeleteLooks fun! Have you played any of the other versions?
David Luchetti Oh yes, we have both Celts vs Romans and Persians vs Macedonians. We normally don't play two player games that much (despite playing Ogre whilst courting in the late 80's/early 90's and Creature that Ate Sheboygan). Playing these came about as it was Rob Masters birthday just before we were setting out on a three month camping and kayaking trip, he likes war games and I don't play them much as they don't really do it as much for me. I prefer games with a strong rpg component or other Euros if I can't have rpging. We play mostly Euros nowadays. So I thought it would be a nice present, a couple of little wargames and part of the present would be I would play them with him on the trip. Rob Masters likes to play the underdog so he took the Celts in our first games of this type, Celts Vs Romans. We had a couple of games of that, enjoyed it too. Then was the long saga of Rob's Macedonians vs Leece's Persians. We had many games and finally in the last couple of weeks the Macedonians came out the winners. Those Persian archers are deadly!
ReplyDeleteClose - except it was your Persians, and my Macedonians, Alicia Smith . We really need to have another round of that. It was a very close thing, that last one!
ReplyDeleteI realise it was a typo just after I posted it, you must have really been on the ball to spot it :-)
