Waterloo Warhammer Historical

On 10December11 I headed back over to the Cage in High Point for the GameOnGw Gamesday. The plan was to get in some 40k and play a game of the Warhammer Historical Napoleonics rules Waterloo run by Chuckaroobob.

The one big change was we were able to game in the front of the factory, where there is heat. Much better than last year. Here is the gaming hall. We had to do some shuffling when somebody came down the hall but better that and heat than plenty of room to game and cold.

This is Bobby A the organizer of the event. every body brought two or more can goods to be donated to the local food bank.

We called the game soon after this. The French were out numbered and on the defensive so we called it a Prussian Victory.

The Players were Bryan and Chuckaroo playing the French while John B had the Prussian cavalry, I had the Prussian center and Paul controled the Prussian right. I enjoyed the game and like the rule set. Some of the players had minor problems with certain mechanics but I think everyone had a good time. A disclaimer, it was the first time any of us had played the rule set and we left out some of the special rules but I think adding them in will make the game better.

The GameOnGw games day was a success from my point of view. I played a good game and managed to pick up some cool swag from the flea market.

I look forward to the one next year.
