By way of a change we had an SPI Boardgame on Friday night as a last minute stand-in after John wasn't able to make it with his Austro-Russian Napoleonic Shako game.Mikey N, perfect host as ever, had the game laid out and prepped, for when players arrived, in all we have 5 factions represented and Mikey running event as games-master.
The game is somewhat unique in that each player is able to control troops form each of the warring factions and may hedge their bets until the end as to if they are warring for a White for a Red victory.As it happens the initial rounds were very bloody and player factions were thinned out very quickly, everyone enjoyed the game and we talked about adapting the game for the Spanish Civil War in future.
Victory went to the Whites, more by luck than judgement, maybe the Reds had too much focus on Belorussia and Poland or possibly as two players managed to whisk away the Czar and the White Gold stash for potential points made it simpler t push for a White victory!
Well done Mike for a good stand-in game!
