The first week in July’s game night was attended by 5 gamers: Larry, Jim, Joe, yours truly, and young new gamer Stuart.

Before Stuart arrived, the four of us paired with Joe and I using Condotta and Germans. Larry and Jim paired off for their game. Short story is Joe whacked my Germans. My high combat die was about a 2, and the pippage was about the same!

Jim ended up beating Larry, but I don’t know what armies they were using…both Dark Ages I think.

Second pairing was Me versus Larry, and Joe versus Jim.

Taking Condotta this time, I hoped my luck would change (yeah, right!)

It was just a repeat of the first game..no pips and low combat dice. I just hope I get it all out of my system before Historicon!

Stuart then arrived for a game, and he played against Jim, while Larry took on Joe. Stuart was taught the fundamentals by Joe, and I served as his “tactical advisor” for the game. I think my presence was enough to influence Stuart’s dice though…the warband vs warband duels all went Jim’s way.

In a week it’s HISTORICON!!!!!!!!
