19th Dec 40k or Uncharted seas

[nik_]

Looking for a game on the 19th.
1750pts 40k or, for a change, a game of Uncharted Seas. I have 2 fleets if anyone is interested in trying it out.
(I know Isaac is looking for a 40k game, but we played last time I was at the club)

I'm keen. I'll give Uncharted Seas ago, or you can feel the HtH fury of the mighty Tau.

I am up for a game sunday but 1850 for battlecry try outs.

I have crappy deathwing

Big D got in first, lets play Uncharted Seas. Gives me an incentive to try and get the ships properly assembled before tomorrow

[Big D]

Cool, i'm all about trying new games ATM

Cheers for the game, I really enjoyed it.

We had Lezle join us and we played a 3 way free for all.
The Thaniras Elves (Me) had the wind in their faces for the whole game and struggled to close to an effective distance, so couldn't bring their guns to bear until late in the game.
The Iron Dwarves (Daryl) unleashed their formiddable fire power and downed many ships, the frigates with their powerful turret guns proving particularly effective.
The Imperial Humans (Lezle) bravely sallied forth early in the game, leading to the loss of several of their smaller frigates, but then their battle ship entered the fray and started firing devestating broadsides. It was gravely wounded during the fight, being holed below the waterline and slowly sinking over several turns. The frantic crew managed to plug the leak in the last turn and deny the other players the victory points for its destruction!

At the end of the game I had sunk several frigates, Daryl had sunk 4 frigates and a cruiser, and Lezle had sunk 4 frigates and 2 cruisers, narrowly giving him the win (although his battleship was down to 1 hull point!).

Several people dropped by to spectate and I think we might end up with some more players soon

Definitely!

Cheers for the game guys. I'm definately looking at getting the Iron Dwarf starter set. Dirt cheap too which is a bonus.

Ok, just bought the rule book, Iron Dwarves fleet and cards from Maelstrom. Once I've painted it up and gone through the rules I'm up for a game if anyone else is going to get into it.

Good stuff!! I'll race you to get a fleet painted

Hey! You've already got one. I've got to wait 3 weeks for mine to arrive.

[nik_]

Yeah, but your ships haven't got any sails!

Touché

Yay, received my fleet and rule book last night. I'll start painting today.
