Been a busy couple of weeks & I have 3 club nights of photos to catch up on.
First up was our next Thunder Alley race. We had the full suite of 7 players for this one.
This track would be a real bugger to pass others on.
It didn't take long for several cars to get left out of the pack.
A Yellow flag event managed those left behind to get back into it.
That was short lived, as again many got left WAAAAY behind. The first red flag is revealed.
One of Scott's cars suffered a spinout. Quite the penalty for this one, as it knocked him back 10 spaces.
The race continues, with the lead car now caught up to the last car. Stay in those single lane portions of the track to prevent getting lapped!
Another yellow flag, closes everyone up for the final rush to the finish line. Just over half a lap to go!
The final for this race saw Daniel knocked out of first overall position in the standings. Jonathan has now pulled ahead, with all 3 of his cars coming in right near the top.
I think we have a new target for the next race eh Jonathan?
Second up, Bruce brought out his Fistful of Lead HORROR game, for another attempt by Van Helsing & allies to take down Dracula's castle.
My force started out as a group of Bats.
The fog begins to rise in the Graveyard.
The forces of good begin ransacking various buildings looking for artifacts to assist their assault.
Bat swarms engage Frau Blucher & Mina, members of Van Helsings troupe.
Meanwhile Renfield was gathering artifacts. What a find! While funny, they do provide added wounds or bonuses to the character who carries it.
A solid strike to Van Helsing, who has yet to engage with Dracula.
The fog approaches. Characters engaged with the fog (basically they are enshrouded by it) will find many of their abilities hindered.
Van Helsing makes it to the Church Altar...what artifact lay within?
Renfield's next find!
Once again, Dracula prevailed as the forces of Van Helsing failed to make it too the castle. Good fun & after some tinkering will likely see this at the club again! Thanks Bruce.
The next game was from last night & had Dan return with his Valkyrie space combat game. Dan has already posted his images & info on the EWG facebook page, but I will provide a synopsis for those not members of that group.
A Terran 'Medical' ship was hidden amongst the remnants of a space station, waiting for its opportunity to make a run to escape the approaching Kurgan fleet.
At the same time, a wormhole appears & spits out the Terran force. The race is on.
The Kurgan fleet also had a 'Terran' Traitor who I suppose led the Kurgans to where the Medical ship was hidden. The Medical ship was run down by Bruce's Kurgan Frigate. Meanwhile my Kurgan Heavy Cruiser got in close & personal with the Terran Heavy & another Frigate? Not the best idea as my ship was roundly destroyed.
The Kurgans were losing more ships point-wise, but had given the Terrans a lot of damage to their ships. Below the 'Terran' Traitor is about to go down, though he has launched his nuclear drone.
Another great game with a decent turnout of members. Thanks Dan!
