The eldest and his family came over this Sunday with a mango cake and figures for a Bolt Action game. He brought two versions of the cake. One for my developmental age……………………………..
and the other for the “old codger” age!
At least I had enough puff to extinguish the flame!
The game consisted of three generations of David’s fighting it out for Birthday glory. Grandson David was absolutely deadly with his dice rolling for me and totally the opposite for his father. Eventually middle David snatched the dice from his son and rolled even worse. Ahhhh Karma at its best!
David’s Commandos moving forward to capture the objective (the Matilda).
Guru’s Carrier seizes the objective.
Meanwhile, Guru’s other Carrier moves to provide flanking fire.
Jungle Division section and Lieutenant moves up to take the central piece of jungle.
The Engineers jump out of the Carrier and are promptly enfiladed with SMG fire taking down two of their number.
The central piece of jungle is now in the hands of the Australians.
Australian sniper team taken out by the Commando MMG.
The second carrier moves from the far left flanks to support the attack on the objective whilst the first is disabled by the Commando PIAT.
Things were becoming tight as the Australians lose their Lieutenant and the second Carrier.
A last desperate effort sees two commando units run to contest the objective.The Australians only had one unit left to move and unfortunately could only take out one of the Commando squads, leaving the other to snatch a draw out of the jaws of defeat!
A great game was had by all the Dave’s!
PS Lots of cake left over for Guru, Mwahahaha!
Awesomeness
Looks like lots of great fun for the David’s!
It was.
Great looking game and cake Dave
Thanks Dave. Unfortunately the cake was a little small to use individual candles! Then again most cakes would be!
Ha HA!!!
No matter how good the game looks, I’d turn up for the mango cake! 🙂
Looked awesome but…………………….!
Great picture with the kiddo! I bet that cake was delish and glad you got to celebrate with another game! 😃
Cake just OK game great!
Brilliant Pig !! Happy birthday mate, and here I was thinking I was the Elder of the group!! By the look on your Grandsons face it looks like he is hoping Granps doesn’t send to much moisture onto the cake!!
He was more worried about his face! Drats I was hoping you were the elder statesman. BTW the only thing wrong with being the elder statesman is the elder bit! That and drooling!
Haha good fun. I was barracking for Dave. Happy birthday mate
“Barracking for Dave” – with three Dave’s in the game none of us could win!
