Saturday Gaming - A Two-Fer!

Wayne, Mark and I got together Saturday for a day of gaming. We got to play the Halloween-themed Batman scenario and we took Wings of Glory out because it's always a good time.

Batman featured the three monsters I painted for Wayne a little over a month ago, plus a couple of zombie assistants versus the GCPD, Green Arrow and Black Canary. 

Our cemetery - shenanigans are underway. Some teenagers and their pet  opened a door they shouldn't have and read something better left unread. When will these kids learn?

Gordon and three SWAT officers pull up outside Griffin Park Cemetery. The Commish got a tip that there was quite a disturbance.

It took no time for Man-Bat to locate Green Arrow and swoop down on him! Oliver Queen managed to evade the monster's claws.

Scarecrow moved to assist Man-Bat, running into Black Canary.

At the same time, Solomon Grundy and one of the zombies moved to confront the cops. The hail of gunfire from the police was already proving to be quite severe.

Oliver and Dinah put some distance between themselves and the monstrosities, while protecting "Sgooby-goo."

Man-Bat and Scarecrow rush at Arrow who is injured quite severely! 

Commissioner Gordon radios the helicopter which puts a spotlight on the monsters in the back corner of the cemetery. A hidden SWAT sniper looses a round which takes down Scarecrow!

Back over at the entrance, Solomon Grundy is finally taken down by the police who had been fortunate to suppress the beast before he'd been able to start smashing cops in close combat. 

For some reason, I stopped taking pictures late in the game and that's it for Batman. In the end, the good guys lost Green Arrow and the bad guys lost Scarecrow, S.G. and two Zombies. I played Green Arrow and Black Canary, Wayne ran the cops and Mark was the bad guys. Final score was 9-4 in favor of the good guys, Man-Bat did make off with one of the teenagers! Fun game for sure. We had a bite then set up for game 2.

Wings of Glory was set up for game 2. The Americans (Mark) has two B-25s with a P-47 escorting and two bombing targets. The Japanese (me and Wayne) had four Nakajimas intercepting. 

The targets are circled in yellow.

Mark attempts a serious face, while Wayne stares into the distance... the thousand yard stare...

My planes for the day - Spotty and "Heigh Ho" Silver.

Wayne and I utterly botched the initial contact as the bombers trundled past. The Thunderbolt flipped over to harass us.

Blue Angels  eat your hearts out! Four Jap interceptors perform quite a display of aerobatics to the dismay of the Yakatori Stand and Field Hospital about to get shellacked!

But as it turns out, the Americans have a nearly identical amount of trouble and whiff their bombing runs, overflying the targets!

The Jug takes out Silver!

Moments later, the Thunderbolt and one of Wayne's planes plummet to the ground! It's a terrible crossfire between those two bombers.

The final turn. The bombers have again fouled up their bomb runs, Wayne's second plane is taken out. 

WoG was a hoot. The game takes some real experience to fly planes well and judge your position. We all had difficulty piloting but it kind of added to the fun. Need to put it on the table more often for sure.
