Father's Day doesn't mean breakfast in bed and a weird tie or t-shirt. It's a simple day of a tea party and gaming with my girls. If those two things can happen, I can chalk it up as the best day ever.
The weekend did start off better than expected with boxes from both Sally 4th's Able Company Kickstarter and BattleValor Games' 15mm Baggage Train campaign arriving on Sunday. No, I'm not delving into another scale, rather I took advantage of pledging for this campaign to get significant discounts on Battle Valor's 28mm Pulp, Sci-Fi, and Space Dwarf lines. I basically lost all traction I made on my lead pile this year (and Reaper Bones 5 and Macrocosm's Space Dwarves are shipping soon). As usual, I'm gleefully doomed.
After breakfast and a long meandering drive along the dirt roads in the area (that was requested), we prepped for the annual Father's Day game. I do have a LOT stuck in the gaming queue, but I always attempt to do something different for Father's Day, and this year was over a pandemic year in the making.
I mean, I'm not sure where I initially saw this, but as a man with all similar components in his arsenal, it was a no-brainer.
Cthulhu's Anti-Personnel System is its large non-Euclidian feet. |
*SMOOSH* |
Millie kept here troops in front of the charging Cthulhu, ultimately forming a u-shaped defense.
The brave heroes were quickly devoured. |
And the band played on, instead of fighting, then getting eaten. |
Eye to eye with the Mouse King and Queen, then *poof* vanished. |
Cthulhu held a grudge from the last game. |
