Attack 09

Well the show has finished and it was a successful first run out for Colonial Games. There we were at a Historical Wargames show and what was our best seller??? Hasslefree Fantasy Miniatures!! Go Figure.

Anyway, after lunch on Sunday, the CG Team decided to put on their own impromptu demonstration game. The Okko board was broken out and a game rapidly started. I have to say that Okko is a really nice little game. The rules are straight forward and therefore easy to pick up. Anyway, the final game of the day saw our illustrious Games Designer backed into a corner and taken apart by a rather nasty Demon team.

The force for good in the Okko world (my team) swooped across the gardens and attempted to rip apart the demon team in an effort to save the beleagured forces in the corner. This almighty assault started out well but sort of faded away as my strongest character got royally owned by a hulking great demon (not before he managed to survive a sneaky ambush attempt and slapped the nasty demonette down).

There were some major heroics as the remnants of the neutral team along with the remnants of the good team, battled the forces of darkness. Some notable mentions must go to the good force Samurai, who managed to take down the evil big Demon Beastie in a very convincing way. However, major Kudos and legendary hero status must go the the Neutral teams Geisha. A small and rather weak character who not only survived the game when greater warriors fell, but managed to attack several nasty ninja and vampire type thingumabobs and not only survive the encounter, but managed to drive them off.

All hail the mighty Japanese Lady of the Night :)

Anyway, go to the web site and have a look at Okko. The board game is exquisite and the miniatures that you can buy to go with it are absolutely amazing.

Have a good week.

Game On!!
