A Week of Gaming

On the gaming front, this week was a busy one.  Four games passed into the Gaming Log, two of which I hosted.  Until I have time to chronicle the two I hosted, following is a brief summary of the gaming action seen this week.

Monday: Continuation of the Battle of Quistello with the Rejects.  We concluded the two part battle with a clear victor but as often is said, "it was a near run thing."  Battle report to follow.

Tuesday: ECW Siege hosted by Peter.  I tried my hand at assaulting fortifications in a siege game as Peter ran the programmed defenders.  I took the town but only just.  Peter's account of the battle can be found at ECW Siege.

Friday: Battle of Quistello.  A second playing of this scenario with a quartet of new players.  We managed to complete this game in one, four-hour session which is a faster decision than with the Rejects' game earlier in the week.  Not as close as the Rejects' game but a good contest, nonetheless.  A rematch may be in the offing.  Battle report to follow on this one too.

Saturday: Battle of Arzobispo.  A Peninsular War battle pitting the French vs the Spanish.  Had not played Napoleonics or Shako II in a very long time.  Battle outcome came down to the very last die roll, literally.  The Spanish just managed to sneak out a victory despite their army in shambles and the French driving hard to annihilate them.

Whew!  That was a lot of gaming!  I am feeling a bit of fatigue.  Sunday may require a day of rest.

The latest GWS analysis (see Tinker, Tailor...) generated several follow up questions from a variety of sources.  These data will provide some answers; others may be unanswerable.  I will attempt to tackle some of these questions in upcoming analyses.
