I won't be able to make it after all  :(, though I will more than likely be there next week. I'm also available on Thursday evening and all day Saturday this week if anyone is interested.

Great, Fun, and memorable game last night!

Does anyone remember me rolling this TWICE?



Heroic Steadfastness facing down Deamons and Rat Ogres with my Skinks and The other facing down two blocks of Skaven Stormvermin and Plauge Monks with a brick of Saurus Warriors!!!

I am not sure what the mathematical odds are on rolling triple 1's twice but wow...best rolls for me all game!

Nah, the other set of triple 1s were for the Razordons not fleeing from the Daemonettes and the Seekers.  :)  And I only had one group of Clanrats and one of Plague Monks on the Saurus... the Stormvermin decided to jump the Ogres and held... for a while.  ::)

I don't think I've ever heard a table erupt so loud with yelling since I've been playing as when you rolled triple 1s for the what... 13 Skinks that were getting mauled by Daemonettes and Rat Ogres?  That was unreal.

However... don't forget about some of the other fantastic / hilarious parts...

Gnoblars killing off a set of Seekers with ranged combat.

A Slann Mage WINNING combat against a Daemon Prince because it was a BSB and killing it due to a failed leadership test.

Dwellers Below managing to kill off the Warlock Engineer who had Cracks Call lined up on the Slann Mage.

Cracks Call being cast with a 25 (5 dice + 2)... and getting dispelled with a 34 (6 dice + 4).  No irresistible force or dispel at all.

The Lizardmen being used by the Ogres as a meat shield.

Just... lots of insanity, all over the place.  I'd call it a fantastic and hilarious game! :)

EDIT: Oh, and we also can't forget.  Mark now owing Reese a beer.

(Since it wasn't mentioned before, there was only one game last night... Lizardmen and Ogres VS Skaven and Daemons... 2000 points per player.)

You did get a beer out of the game from Mark didn't you?...  Not a bad consolation prize for you general choking on a frog leg and dying.  Vive le PrĂȘtre de Grenouille

I believe it's 1 out of 532... because triple 1's are 1 in 216. I think twice in a row is 1 in 46,656. I always feel rusty on math when calculating odds.

Had I know it would be so crazy, i might have stuck around.  Generally I love doubles ,cause it evens the field a lot and dilutes some of the crazy 8th edition stuff.
We should set up a doubles night in a few weeks get folks to sign up and have a good old slaughterfest.

Yeah that sounds cool, I wouldn't mind throwing down a couple of bucks for pizzas or a store credit prize or whatever.  Round of brewskis on the losers maybe.

I'm all for it, I'd need to get a bit more practice in beforehand, but I'm for it!

Thats a great idea, love brews on the losers lol.  Depending on how many folks we have we might be able to get an even bigger game. 3v3 or 4v4...  Although that might need to be a weekend given the normal starting times.
We tried a 8v8 once in 7th edition.  It was beyond insane but an absolute blast (just took like 6 hours).
The best part of doubles/multiplayer is you can be new and will learn a lot from the other players both on your side and that you're facing.

Fun game last night!

Orcs and Bretonians vs Skaven and Demons

Uh... don't really know who wound up being considered as the "winning" side on that one.  But there was lots of death!  Good times all around!
