Hannibal/Successors
Warning Order #26 Now Available
Again, we had a few guys missing, so we decided to do a board game night. Jeff and I were able to meet early and played the new version of Hannibal by Valley Games. I played the Romans and eventually lost as I could not string together a good hand of event cards. Meanwhile, Hannibal won every battle as Jeff never rolled a 5 or a 6 the entire game!
After dinner we played the new version of Successors by GMT, which has many of the same concepts as Hannibal. Two of us had played before, which helped to teach the new players and kept things rolling along. Although we didn't finish, everyone had a lot of fun.
In case you missed the announcement on TMP this week, Warning Order #26 is now out. This issue took a little bit longer because of some work committments and the holidays, but work has already started on #27, which should be a few pages more than this issue.
Finally, I finished my 25mm Russian battalion, so we're going to do another scenario of Sharp Practice hopefully soon. My 2,000 point Indian army is also almost done, so expect to see a massive Seleucids vs. Indians battle report sometime soon. Also, I'm geaing up for some NWF actions by adding some fields and more units for TSATF.
