A list of games to play in 2020

New Years is a time for lists so here is my wish list of 16 games to play in 2020 plus a long term plans for a siege game (#17). Some of the games are hold-overs from last year.  As usual I suspect I will be lucky to get half of them done, but at least I have something to strive for.  There is also  the possibility of a new game being added to the list (like SAGA Age of Magic) got added to my 2019 list) or an older game making a comeback like Sharpe Practice, War of 1812 or a Superhero game (#18).

SAGA AoM Four player game, December 29, 2019:

Brother's in Arms Scenario


This was my first attempt at a SAGA Age of Magic (AoM) multi player game intended for 4 players, the scenario was called "Brother's in Arms"-  where two sides of two warbands face off against each other on a 4' x 6' playing area (my Frostgrave mat).  The objective is to get as many of your units on the other sides half of the board while taking as few loses as possible and inflicting as may loses as possible on the enemy.  

This was also the first time I got to use my new camera on my new cellphone, which produced much better pictures.

SAGA AoM club game 20 December 2019

Ottawa Miniatures Gamers Club annual Christmas Dinner  Meeting


This is my After Action Report (AAR) on the most recent SAGA age of magic (AoM) game I played on December 20th  which was at my local games club (OMG).  We started with the traditional festive feast from a local Indian Restaurant then began our games around 7:30pm, as I recall there were 5 or 6 games and 10 to 12 players.

I had prepared a  Christmas themed 8 point SAGA AoM warband for the occasion called Santa's Great Kingdom warband.   It consisted of the following:

Warlord - Santa and Sorceress - Santa's assistant
