A game of Hybrid!

Hello all!
Fuck me but does life get busy.

But despite my job (and various other things...) getting in the way - look! I managed to do some gaming!!

After tying up some loose ends at his work my gaming buddy and I managed to squeeze in a practice session of Hybrid yesterday.
The basic idea was to get to grips with the 'famously' difficult rules translations - my friend (being a translator by trade) had a jolly good time pondering the insane uses of English words =) Despite his best face-palming efforts his forehead should be back to its normal shape soon.

But with his diligence and a VERY helpful rules re write by Universal Head from 'League of Esoteric Gamers' (thank you dude!) we managed to get a brief encounter underway.

Um, not like the movie.

(Please excuse the excellent 'supernatural phenomenon' photos I seem to have taken... the lighting was a bit poor officer...)

 "HAVE AT YOU!"


 We decided to only use two different troop types each for this battle. The other figures were just there to offer moral support.



I constructed a bunch of pillars to give a more three dimensional feel to the boards, the game does come with single tiles to show their location but I felt like being a bit flash.


Did I mention the boards look fantastic?!


Well, there you go. Had to cut it short because of life and reasons, but hey, "Alea iacta est!"

Ps - I should be able to post a bit more freely soon as things are clearing up at work so, yay me =)
