Battle and barbeque

Tempted by the combination of good friends, good gaming and food, this weekend saw the premier battle and barbeque. The idea is simple. Set up a gaming table on the deck, play a couple of games and have a barbeque.

 
First up was a game of X Wing from Fantasy Flight Games. My friend Mike organised this. This went very well and it all came down to a draw with one Imperial and one Rebel left on the table. We then broke for lunch and a chat.

 
Next up was the board game King Of Tokyo, ran by Russ. This seemed like a lot of fun, with Ben taking the win.

 
Finally, Mike and I played our Full Thrust rematch. This started badly for me but by the end of the game, Mike graciously conceded the win. All in all a great afternoon of gaming and one which I hope to repeat soon.
