The Battle of Kachas Pass. Ramblings, prep, thoughts and battle report - Two Shelves of Gaming Episode 21.

Painted giant. Check! Orcs and Elves. Check! Scenery ready. Check! Time for a game. In this episode I chronicle my, at times, confused and fraught plan to FINALLY play scenario 1 from the classic Games Workshop product 'Blood Bath at Orc's Drift'. A mini campaign from the 80s during the era of Warhammer 2nd edition. In a previous episode I talked about this product and not so long ago mused about my plan to play through this fine product at some point in the future. Given my relocation from Holland to Switzerland, and the ensuing chaos this had on my gaming in general, I thought I'd set myself a mission to actually get my act together and play it. Or at least the first scenario. Since our plans over the summer included a two week stop in Holland I chose this as my window to play the Kachas Pass battle as all my scenery, wargame board and many of the minis were located there. Whereas the requisite Orcs had been painted over the past few months in Switzerland. Yet, the final piece of the puzzle was collecting a Denizen minis order I'd had mailed to my parents' house in the UK. All a bit convoluted and logistically odd, but such is my life at the moment. Anyway, I'm glad to say things fell into place and much fun was had by all. Well, fun was had by me. Ah, I love it when a plan comes together.
