Usually you wish others happy holidays- and I did wish that everyone had them- but I was far too busy to do it before the holidays. My Holidays were happy and busy, full of good things. It was very nice.

We got quite a few scape games in, which was excellent, as we seem to have been too busy for a bit to fit many in. I won three in a row which is unusual for me. (I lost last night so my streak is broken)

The most memorable was Romans facing marauding orcs. My middle son had been taunting me about how he was going to clean my clock and how Romans are lunch for orcs. I admit he rattled me.

The scenario was scouting with capture the flag tagging rules- basically you have to visit five selected hexes on a big board and you must be unengaged when you visit. The first player to get all five wins. Well I didn’t’ think I could outrun or outmanoeuvre those disengaging orcs, so I didn’t try. I just plunked my whole army down on one of the hexes...
