Now that the lockdown measures are being relaxed, it was time to play a game again.
Bart was happy to host a game at his place: Romans vs Celts, with a watchtower being the central focal point of the scenario. Rules used were Hail Caesar.
Bart took on the role of plumpire (very handy, since none of us knew the rules too well). Eddy and David took command of the Celts, Jean-Pierre and myself took command of the Romans.
The game went very slow, since we spent quite some time chatting in between turns: small and big worries about work or home; corona adventures; how to make cocktails; etc.
Still, the game progressed, with a unit of naked Celt Warriors able to occupy the watchtower by turn 4. By then, the clock said 23.00, so it was time to wrap up, although we still kept on talking till shortly before midnight.
Here are the pictures. Notice our Corona-proof face masks! Funny enough Jean-Pierre is in none of the picture ...

Great looking game, Phil! Good to see you back to gaming with friends in person.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking game and nice to know that you are able to meet up for a game. I think it's going to be sometime before we can do this safely in the UK.
ReplyDeleteExcellent looking game with lovely figures; a fine return to wargaming with friends!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone at the game had covid, the fellow touching his mask just contaminated his hand.
ReplyDeleteNever, ever touch the surface of your mask. If it's working and filtering covid, the surface is coated in virus.
