At the HAVOC gaming convention in Marlborough, Massachusetts I ran four games – two Wars of Ozz and two Feudal PatrolTM games between March 31st and April 2nd. Hopefully shortly, I will be sharing some of my own pictures and a few links about HAVOC in future posts – BUT FIRST…
My first Ozz game was on Friday night, and I had a full table of 6 players – all new first-timers to the game. During that game, one of my players, my friend Bradley Gosselin, took copious notes and photos of that game. I noticed him doing this and assumed that he wanted to really learn the rules. To my humble surprise, he said, no, he was hoping to do a battle report and that I would be welcome to using it in my blog! It’s not often that one of my players does me such an awesome honor – and so – thanks Brad – here is your wonderful report – I could not have done better!
Game Set Up
There were two brigades facing each other – Winkies and Munchkins. Each base/stand of troops or artillerist taken out is worth 1 point to the other side. The deployment is randomly determined.
Turn 1
Turn 2
Turn 3
Turn 4
So, in the end the Munchkins prevailed over the Winkies! Thanks Brad for all the work on this (and he might have more on other HAVOC games – stay tuned). The players had a good time and really picked up the rules quickly.
The game was quick and bloody (as it’s supposed to be). Though both sides did well – the Munchkins did a wee bit better.

A great battle report from someone who showed a lot of interest in the game and really enjoyed. The greatest measure of success. Well done Mark.

It was a lot of fun Dave. Since my return I have had little time to do other than paint and prep for my next convention (HUZZAH) in May and, well, as you may guess, golf. I ran 3 more games at that convention and they all went well – but they were games that I ran before so not sure if I will post about that convention until I get some posts up about recent figures. Hope all is well and you are also hitting them straight!

That’s fantastic that someone playing in the game wanted to write a report. I really enjoyed seeing all of the pictures being able to watch the game unfold. The terrain looked very nice as well!

Sounds like a fun game and I really like the format of that battle report! I might have to do something similar next time I report on a game. Great job, Brad (and Mark)!
