Unfortunately when we talked to Father Lucian Petrovich at St. Andral's Church it turned out the bones of the saint that protected the place had been stolen!  It was decided that Ireena was stay with us.  If we could not retrieve the bones then we would take her west to the Abbey of Saint Markovia, near the village of Krezk, where she may find protection.  As burgomaster Ismark had to return to Barovia and look af

Ultramarine vs  Aeldari  Battle Report My second game of 10th Edition 40k.  I have attempted to do this as a slightly more descriptive report rather than a precise blow by blow account of the game.  A friend came around with a bag full of ruins so we could have a tactical game with a lot of LOS blocking terrain.

Ultramarine Battle Report My first game of 10th Edition 40k.  I have attempted to do this as a slightly more descriptive report rather than a precise blow by blow account of the game.  That said I am sure we made some mistakes ( such as first turn rapid ingress from the Death Company ). Ultramarine Armoured Division Techmarine Sniper Scouts Dreadnought Vindicator 2x Predator Destructor Ballistus Dreadnought Devastator Squad with Quad Lascannons Blood Angels Death Company Chaplain with Jump Pack Death Company Squad Primaris Captain leading Bladeguard Squad Assault Intercessor Squad 2x Heavy Intercessor Squad Death Company "Furioso" Dreadnought Dreadnought Setup: Scorched Earth Mission with Sweeping Engagement deployment and Secret Intel.  The Ultramarine force went for tactical missions to make use of their secret intel.  While the Angels went for Engage on all Fronts and Bring it Down.  The first suited their play style and the second seemed a good option against the vehicle

Chapter 4: Fortune Introductions Malrosh, Tiefling sorcerer Desunt Clariatis, Human Wild sorcerer Redvus Dundonald, Gnome Cleric seeking enlightenment Aslok, Dwarven Paladin who hates necromancers Ismark and Ireena Kolyanovich, who we are escorting to safty Leaving Daggerford we headed west taking the road toward Vallaki.  Our plans were to veer off through the foothills and cut across country rather than following the road all the way.  During our first couple of nights camping Redvus thought he could see animals watching us during the night and he let everyone know something seemed to be tracking us, perhaps whatever had left the claw marks on the front door of the house. As night approched on the following night we stumbled upon a Vistani camp.  Their colourful caravans formed a circle around the fire.  Malrosh talked to Marina their leader and we were invited to join their evening celebration and make toasts to the Dread Lord Von Zarovich.  Part way through the night all six of us

  The Magic of Solar Panels I used to play Magic the Gathering card game.  Some thirty years later the original cards from 1993-1994 turned out to be worth quite a lot of money.  In fact they were worth so much I sold my collection of old cards and got enough cash for an entire solar array on my house! My full system cost just over £15,000.  The main part was on the panels, inverter and battery.  There were additional costs for scaffolding and a Solar iBoost for hot water ( more on that later ).  What I had installed was a 4 kilowatt peak (kWp) system consisting of:  10x QCell 395 Watt panels with SolarEdge optimisers and SolarEdge inverter £6300 An integrated SolarEdge StoreEdge 10kWh home battery £8000 What can you expect from a Solar system? According to Ofgem the 'average' British household uses 242 kWh of electricity per month.  This is only household consumption and does not cover anything for an electric vehicle.  Fortunately my friend was kind enough to share data for t

Chapter 3: Village of Barovia Introductions Malrosh, Tiefling sorcerer Courtney Ashtree, Spear Maiden Human Paladin Redvus Dundonald, Gnome Cleric seeking enlightenment Aslok, Dwarven Paladin who hates necromancers After spending the evening sleeping in the old house we woke up to find the place had decayed around us.  Now we stood in an old property with everything around us tarnished and worn.  Heading out into the town we went to find the Burgomaster. First we entered the general store that was run by Bildrath.  He told us the new Burgomaster was in the tavern.  Asking him some more questions we found out the old Burgomaster Kolyan Indirovich who had written us a letter had died two days before we arrived. In the Blood of the Vine tavern we found a man named Ismark Kolyanovich.  Courtney talked to him and we discovered he was having problems getting the local priest to bury his father.  Showing him the letter he said it was not written by his father.  We offered to help him and went
