The Battles of 2019

Something new this year, as I do keep track of all my battles played since coming back in the hobby, but not on a yearly basis.

And I feel like I don`t get just enough games in due to circumstances, so let's have a look at what I actually played during the past year... easy to track (sort off) as I make BatReps of all my games anyways.

So, I`m going to do this on a month by month oversight, and following this format: Date - game system - forces involved with "my" force listed first - result... and link every time to a game for those wanting to check them out.

So that's it for the past year, 2019 did indeed see a serious drop of games for me, with a total of 23 games being fought.  But of those, there where 2 series of 3 games on a single day event, and two times two games of Battle Companies on an evening.

Battle Companies is one of the only FOUR game systems I actually played during the year as such, the others being Middle-earth SBG, Warhammer 40k and Future War Commander.  But also noticeable is the serious drop in games once the appartment got bought and renovated, and Noshi became pregnant.  Neither september, november AND december saw any game being played this year.

And I must say, the results weren`t that fantastic to be honest.  April will now be known as "the month Noshi totally annihilated me", as all 4 games played that month where against her, and every time I went down... hard.
I also participated in 2 tournaments, but over the course of those 6 games I only scrounged a single win unfortunatly... the road to reinstating myself as an "up there" player is still long it seems.

But I have hopes for 2020 that clublife will pick up again, and with my planned solo gaming I`ll be able to at least get more games in, even though those won`t have a win / loss result for obvious reasons.  I also hope to get more game systems back in again, to have more variety, and join in some more events during the year.

Let's see how it all turns out once Lord Ipsqueek makes his appearance ;-)
