I actually get to play some games!

Hello All,

Lately I have been able to actually play some games. As strange as that sounds I am rarely in a position where the main factors of gaming all come together in a convergence:
  • Time- I don't often have time to play full games especially on weekdays. My Saturdays are taken up by NOVA or Family business and Sunday's have become the only day I really get any rest. (Though this Sunday being Mother's day that is not happening)
  • Location- until recently the only place to really play was the GW store nearby as it was the only location that did not interfere with Time above. As they only allow GW games to be played it created it's own problems. (I'm looking at you 40K!)
  • Opponents- I often have no one to play against when I want to game. (Admittedly it's usually while I am at work in the middle of the day...) Even when I can muster up the energy to go to a place to play I often don't always want to do just pick up games. It's hard to get people to play what I want to do.
  • Enthusiasm- This one is key. Without it nothing good happens. If I'm not into it; it will suck. I frequently don't have that much enthusiasm on weeknights but I am getting better. Sometimes it's the system that does not click for me (Malifaux.) Or no one plays it nearby (Dystopian wars.) Warmachine has started to work for me even though I don't care for the background material so much so I am hopeful. Most of the time it's just because I am tired. ("Work's a B*tch")
Lately the 4 have come together several times to get me some actual game time!

I have been attending the NOVA NOMADS gaming clubs Wednesday gaming night. Here are some pictures from my last game. I am playing the Everblight army


The Emeny


Go get'em!


The Battle is Underway!
 Here are some more fun shots from other games going on

Who to kill first?...

a funny coincidence

The end of that turn

Parting Shot- Equinox did not make it through the next turn.

 Anyway these were some fun games and I hope to get more soon. Wood Elves just came out and the wife is making noisee about taking her army out of retirement to try them out.
 
That's all the time I have for now
 
Later
