It is good to be back and recording again. Today we review 2018 and make Hobby Resolutions for 2019
With Randy being in town between semesters, we really just played games. Since he can't get games in when he is in school, we decided to record a battle report. We played a 2 v 1 game with Ally joining us. This was a huge game: 4000 points per side: Randy played Tzeentch at 4000 points Ally played Moonclan Grots at 2000 points (allied with me) Michael (me) played Nurgle at 2000 points. Yep, strange alliance, but we had a blast anyway. We hope you enjoy, and keep rolling those dice.
