The Saturday after Thanksgiving there is a regular get together, lately held at Wargames in Nashville, called Turkey Wars. It’s a game day open to all. This year about 15 people showed up for a variety of games. I’m including a few pictures I took with my phone. I ran the first game that pit the players against a mutant hoard trying to take over The Science Building of Middle State Technical University (MSTU!). It was a blood bath. No humans survived. It was a close one at the end. Though badly beaten the humans made a valiant attempt to retake the Tech Room. The most hopeful moment was when Percy Fitzwater, the somewhat nerdy boy genius busted into a room, killed the mutant there, repaired the combat robot and set out to take out more. Alas he was quickly taken down. One robot did manage to take out 4 of the 5 leader mutants but it wasn’t enough. The almost endless numbers of mutants washed through the building like the implacable Pacific tsunami leaving only destruction in their wake.
The second game was a meeting engagement with Union and Confederate infantry companies in a meeting engagement, cut off from one another until close range. The Confederate Left Flank took it in the chin but managed to rally the survivors only to see the Right Flank folding like a napkin. The Union took some damage but had enough squads in good order to run off the survivors.
Both games were great fun! Check out the gallery below!
