Hi, I'm Dave, the Abnormal Member for
Wargames. This is a new position, suggested after a group of us playing
Mordheim decided that it would be a good thing to have someone to
represent and organise wargaming for the society. This is a quick
update of current goings-on and plans.
Right now there is a Mordheim campaign that's been
running games every couple of weeks or so since the start of last term.
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Mordheim is a skirmish
game set in the Warhammer world. The city of Mordheim has been
destroyed by the impact of a great comet, and shards of magical
wyrdstone have been found amidst the ruins.
Each player takes control
of a small warband of models from one of the many factions fighting for
control of the treasure. Between games the characters in your warband
gain experience points and explore the ruins to find new items to
further their goals.
It's a lot of fun, and we usually manage several
rounds of games each time we meet. If you're interested in joining,
we'd be happy to have more players. I'm happy to help build a warband
and run an introduction game. The campaign has an underdog system to
enable new warbands to catch up to more powerful ones, so don't worry if
the first couple of games don't go your way, you'll soon be
challenging.
Games run on Saturdays, and we tend to book rooms from
midday to midnight with games starting around 1pm. See the society
emails for more information, and check out the society forums for
further announcements.
As for future plans, next term/academic year, I'd like to
start running a Mordheim campaign using the Border Town Burning
supplement (available free). I'd also like to know if there's any interest in games of Necromunda
over the summer. If you're into wargames and want to run something or
just book out a room for an evening, get in touch with the society via
email, the forum or at a social.
