Thread: Thanks to Nightbomber

    Default Thanks to Nightbomber

    Well because of Nightbomber (Andy) I purchased the Command & Colors game (ancients & Napoleon) some time ago. Played my first game of Ancients yesterday with a good friend. Great time playing ancients. Winner of the game was me but being with a very old friend, we were in Viet Nam together 42 years ago, was the best part.

    So I have to give a BIG THANKS to ANDY.

    My pleasure, Bob
    It is a great game indeed. My buddy and me have been playing Ancients for over half a year, 2-3 times a month and count all the medals and victories always swapping sides. We have finished the base game (Rome and Carthage) [my overall win], 1st expansion (Greeks and Eastern Kingdoms) [my overall win], the 3rd (Rome and Barbarians) [Darek's win] and now are in the middle of the 4th one (Roman Civil Wars) [Darek is winning so far: 66/64 medals, 11/9 battles won]

    During the last session we noted some extreme results on dice to my despair Playing "I am Spartacus" card and rolling 6 dice I got only swords and flags!
    Darek, however, attacking with his medium infantry commanded by Julius Cesar rolled 5 swords
    Dice definitely hated me!

    Congrats gentleman!! This game seems interesting. I am very interested in Ancient Age (after XX century of course).
    Thanks

    Nick, if you get the chance to play it you won't be disappointed. First time I played with a friend I went out and bought a copy!

    Bob, if you are up for a game at Williamsburg Muster, let's play! I picked up the game at auction at Prezcon in February after playing the game for the first time. I love the fast set up and the mechanics that enable a lot of different options in play.

    I picked up C&C Napoleonics at a local convention a couple of weeks ago. Played a few times since and I really enjoy it. One of my gaming buddies liked it so much he ordered C&C Ancients. I myself have since purchased all the Napoleonics expansion sets. It's a fun system.

    I haven't yet played the Napoleonic C&C yet but am very interested. I love the Ancients so expect it to be a good game as well.

    I saw some images in BGG. It seems a marvelous game, the way I like.
    Now to see if they sell in Brazil...

    See you Sat at the show Dave so we will get together that. I went online and searched for dice that would be better than the stick on ones that come with the game. I did find them for the Napoleonic's game but not for the ancients. Really a great game and glad I bought it.
