PolderCon 2018

Last weekend the annual PolderCon spectacle broke out. While no longer embroiled in the organisation I host a participation game each year. This year it was a Rogue Stars Mini Campaign in which pirates needed to find and steal a cargo and escape with a hijacked ship.

The players could choose from three different Pirate or Starcop crews.












There were of course many many more games. Since I was playing demo for most of the time I would sincerely like to thank all the people, known and unknown, who left me pictures for the next impression:

Bridge over the River Kwai


Bolt Action (I think)


Ghost Archipelago


Hans' fenomenal Barsaman game








The invasion of Breda including Peat ship


Dead Mans Hand Apocalyps


The battle of Kadesh in 2mm




Batman 








Yours truly catching a breather in between games.


The spectacular Maas bridges game by May '40









Ronin







Arena Rex




Black Ops WW2 demo-ed by its author



Imperial Assault 3D






It was a great gathering of games.

The new game in town: SPECTRE Operations

I have been buying, painting for- and now playing SPECTRE Operations.

This one will probably be here to stay. Stay tuned to this blog for a review after I clock some more games. For now some pictures:


The old Japanese mansion doubled for the jungle villa in the 3rd scenario in the book. Originally a terrorist meeting crashed by operators we used gangsta minis and SWAT agents.









I had 30 Militia class gangstas to ward off 7 Elite SWAT (one of them undercover within the villa) and if the undercover had not blown her cover in turn 1 I would have been clobbered. Even now we had to abort the game due to time constraints with only 2 SWAT cops standing but more than 20 gangstas taken out....
