Gaming with Neoscream: 26th October 2014

Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”. This is my weekly gaming report and event write up post for miniature games, RPGs, card games and computer games.

“This Week's Events”

On Thursday this week I went to York House for HeroClix. This week’s scenario was "The Dark Knight". (400 points. One figure must be ever Joker or a Batman that is ever an Experience or under 175 point. Figures you used from the “Batman Begins” scenario cannot be used.) I built a Batman team with the Dick Grayson Batman, however I stupidly forgot to add a Robin.

On the first round I was up against Adrian who was using a non-themed team. Sadly I did not win but Adrian could not kill my whole team as the Question was the last one left of my team with Batman and Robin faced down upon her when time ran out. Also Darren S won his game against Michael.

On the second round I was up against Michael who was using a Justice League themed team. I was worried about the stealth busting of this team, I targeted Supergirl first. Luckily Michael left her in the open so I was able to destroy her first and then the rest fell like dominos. Also Darren S won his game against Adrian.

On the third and final round I was up against Darren S who was using an Arkham Asylum themed team. Like normal Darren won this game. The map he choose did not help me at all. Also Adrian won his game against Michael.

Next week will be a "Halloween Special". 666 points (the house rules for extra points for themed teams is NOT in play). Half of the team must have ever the Monster keyword or are Halloween themed.

For rules for Guardians of Tyr tournaments and leagues as well as information on pre booking your place in tournament. Pre booking is highly recommended so they know how many people are coming. So please go to their website which there is a link to it under my links section which are located on the right hand side of this blog.

York House has a £3 on the day gaming fee and a £5 fee for a year’s membership. However the first day is free and they only take yearly membership fee at the start of the year. The Hall officially opens at 7PM, but normally people start arrived 15 to 20 minutes early.

Until next time, Keep Rolling.
