Today was the day: 'A HotT Winter's day'.. a HotT games day played here in Christchurch, New Zealand. Nine players played 13 games in a superb atmosphere of fun and cameraderie. Players varied enormously in experience, but brought a fascinating array of armies to the day: re-animated terracotta Chinese, British VSF, Chaos, Lost Worlds, Dwarves, Semi-Historical Mediaeval, Semi-Historical Indian, Undead, and more. Mark O won all games played, while Andy Gorman won the prize for the most creative army (the VSF army with air boat, flyers and behemoths, judged by fellow players) while Gordon Pinchin won the prize for best painted army with his Dwarves as judged by the wargames Club President.
So successful was the day that the players all voiced the desire to repeat the exercise, perhaps in a more formal tournament format.
Below is a range of photos, in no particular order.
Congratulations for the event... but no Napoleonic fans in Christchurch?
ReplyDeleteIt seems very curious to me a "winter day"... for 20th july. Here in the Antipodes (Spain) we have a hot summer (35ºC)!

ReplyDeleteOh yes.. we play a lot of Volley and Bayonet.. my all time favourite rules set.
But no Napoleonics armies in this tournament.. even thought there is plenty of scope t do so if you wanted to.
Cheers

And a great time was had by all - even if I did loose 2 out of my 3 games! Lurkers hiding out in BdG, my poor Undead General!
