Boxing Day Game 2024

Greetings…

My apologies for the time between posts… and the late posting of the Boxing Day Game…

Shortly after Christmas I caught Flu which combined with my Sarcoidosis and an underlying infection… Basically knocked me for six and lead to two visits to the hospital for Blood testes, chest X-Rays, ECG’s and various other swabs and checks….

I am slowly recovering…Apparently this will take some time…

I am beginning to feel a bit better….And I am starting to think about painting toys…

I have even bought myself some new toys… Retail therapy…. What’s not to like.

So… I’m not going to give a full blow by blow account of the Boxing Day game…. I’m not sure how much I can recall… apart from the fact that I will not be holding a victory parade….

Here are sone hopefully pretty pictures with some occasional comments…

The beautiful village… With the Gavle Goat in the village square…

The object of the game was for Rust and Malchanceux to burn the goat for a victory… collecting Xmas dinner and destroying enemies on the way would be a bonus.

The Snowmen had to defend it….

Rust makes his move…As does one of the Snowballs of the Apocalypse… (The only one to be activated in the game)…

Rust press’s on…

Malchanceux wanders slowly through the woods… They did manage to pick up a little snack…

Brace yourselves …

Rust finds good firing positions and pours shot into the Village square…

Wander…Wander…Sigh!…

Look… The Village , The Goat ,Snowmen and Rust…

Open fire!…

Like my memory… It starts to get messy…

A flurry of Snowmen and Rusts soldiers running around fighting, shooting and attempts at arson…

Not even Drunky wanted to get involved….

And then at almost the last throw of the dice… The Goat is incinerated….😱

It really was down to the wire…. Rust and Malchanceux were one wrong throw away from breaking…

I reckon I came a Glorious…. 4th 🤣🤣🤣…

A very fun game indeed….

Heres to a Happy and Healthy New Year…

Look after yourselves…

All the best.   Aly
