30 days of gaming list

It keeps making me think how I could attempt something similar, though much more modest ten games in ten days, et al. Sunday, 25 October 30 games in 30 days - game 30 in detail and reflection. Introduction This is game 30! A few more details at this introductory post.

Game 1 to 5 here. Games 6 to 12 here. Game 13 to 18 here. Games 19 to 23 here. Game 24 to 29 here. The other games are a bit of a dry read, just highlighting start and end with some notes on lessons learnt. This game 30 report is different - a decent battle report and a focus on how the programmed opponent works. There are lots of other projects to keep me going! I acquired this DBM army about 3 years ago and have not managed to get around to using them. So at least a few of them will get out of the cupboard for a little while.

Deployment Randomisation I will briefly go through the deployment. I have written a ugly spreadsheet that automatically generates each side and their deployment. Just hit the button and this is was is generated. Note there are some guidelines that may limit a unit advances such as they can advance to support other units, may stay together to advance as a line, limit advance to not overshoot main attack zone etc.

The table with the deployed armies Playing the game. I managed to get into a groove with the system of packing up the figures, putting them away and getting out the new ones, deploying, then playing the game and cycling back. The stuff outside the actual playing I got down to about 30 minutes setup and putting away, taking pictures, writing up some notes, looking up some references - especially for the Early medieval armies that are not very familiar to me.

What this means is that I found at least 30 hours in 30 days to do some wargaming. Some stuff did slide - I have some blogs and emails to catch up on, housework and garden work suffered. Time with my wife, Children time, socialising, my TV shows etc.

So I can see where gaming fits into my priorities! What I have learnt is I need to not procrastinate and play some of the Peter Side's ancient scenarios and other games I have wanted to play. I should be able to manage one a week but more likely one a fortnight. Revised rules timeline Revised rules will be up within the week and the expanded army lists at the same time or maybe up to a week after.
