We started off playing an old favourite Memoir 44, in the multi-player Overlord configuration which I hadn't tried before. 10 players; on the other table a Stalingrad scenario, on ours a Tobruk game. I really enjoyed the back and forth nature of the battle and our strategy to attrite the Germans eventually delivered an Allied Victory (heavily enabled by my partner's unbelievable dice skills, it must be said). I understand the Soviet defenders prevailed on the other table too.

After lunch the other table broke out Robo Rally...

And I have to show this pic of Dave's Gaming Emporium. He skipped the Man Cave and went directly to a full barn. Most awesome!
Looks like great fun. Never played a 10-player boardgame but it looks amazing, especially the Tobruk variant. And what a venue!!!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed!
DeleteThat barn looks awesome. So envious!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Memoir 44, but I've never had a chance to play.
Its WW2 Command and Colours, so its card based. I really like it and have for years, though this is the first time I've played the big overlord style games with multiple players
DeleteWe demand interior pics of the barn!
ReplyDeleteThat Memoir game looks like it would have been great fun!
Lets just say that it is truly a Cave of Wonders!
