<\/h2>\n\n\n\nOkay, so I may have said I was not doing a Wednesday post, but while writing the Operation Dragon’s Hoard focused article I realised that it was turning into a bit of a monster by combining show report and post mortem. Instead, I’ve brought forward the post with all the pictures to today! So here’s my coverage of Hammerhead 2018:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/h2>\n\n\n\nPerhaps the biggest thing for me, as you might expect, was that I was running Operation Dragon’s Hoard in the Gamer’s Lounge along with Peeb’s Gaming Nonsense<\/a>. Full details coming in Friday’s post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, I did make some time to speed around the rest of the show and take some snaps of the various games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zomski was a combination of Chechen War and Zombies. With a board packed full of cover and teeming with combatants it was certainly a sight. Did it need zombies? Who can say! That said, it did seem pretty busy when I swung past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn’t get a chance to spot the rules this game was playing but it was certainly one of the most eye catching. I do like the teddy bear fur look for North Western Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A very well put together game of Sharp Practise 2 from Harrogate Wargamers. Every time I see a game of it, especially one looking this nice, I will admit I do start planning a force for it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leeds Wargames Club brought along Conn Sonar. I really liked the look of this game when I spotted it at Fiasco and it’s cool to see their method of allowing submarines and surface vessels on the same board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think I saw this board (or a game similar) at last Hammerhead. However they had tweaked it slightly, with the addition of a crashed glider and a UBoat pulled up on the dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7TV’s new board was showing off their Apocalypse range. I’d seen TM Terrain working on this board<\/a> over on his Facebook page and missed it at Salute so getting to see it finished was fantastic<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indian Mutiny game up and running – spotted a few familiar buildings<\/a> amongst the town which drew the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The massive Battle at the OK Coral Board – I believe this ended up with the overall “Best Game” award of the day. Wild West is something I enjoy from afar but haven’t yet been pushed to jump into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Lord of the Rings game? Haven’t seen this being played for ages but it was cool to see Corsairs being rumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With What A Tanker being the recently released game for tank fighting, it was interesting to see someone running Tanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other modern game in the Gamer’s Lounge was this large scale battle of Germans vs Russians. Some inventive methods for doing hedgerows .<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final game was a massive Science Fiction game using some hex base terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So that’s all the games I spotted. Details of Operation Dragon’s Hoard will be in Friday’s post as well as some thoughts on the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, so I may have said I was not doing a Wednesday post, but while writing the Operation Dragon’s Hoard focused article I realised that it was turning into a bit of a monster by combining show report and post mortem.
