How I Met Your Tigers
Since our humiliating defeat to Mr Michie, we are back – with a vengeance. Manoeuvring ourselves from fighting aliens in the stratosphere, we travelled back in time for a small skirmish game of Tanks. “Why Tanks?” I hear you say. Why ever not when you have a fine platoon of Tigers nicely painted up and ready to crush your opponent!
The Prize
“Who cares who wins, it’s just a game isn’t it?” Absolutely not, because the winner of this game gets cake (and perhaps the pride and dignity of mastering and winning a strategy game, but whatever cakes are at stake here)!
The Game
Our battle scene of choice is the Russian corn fields. Up against our five mighty Tigers are Mr Michie’s measly Sherman and Pershing tanks.
The scene is set. Our Tigers are ready. Our opponent is all warmed up from the kid’s club. Here we go.
May Day, May Day…it’s not going well! The Tigers are surrounded and Mr Michie got some magical dice that keep churning out 6s!
As our last Tiger got battered and bruised, Mr Michie patted us on the back and kindly gifted us his Mous as consolation. Thank you Mr Michie, I’ll ask our shop cat to take good care of it. It is in safe paws.
Post-Game Evaluation
Did we stand a chance? Not really considering the years of expertise Mr Michie have acquired in the world of wargaming. So much so that a customer came in at one point, saw Mr Michie and exclaimed, “I recognise you, were you the guy who used to [always]* be in Games Workshop [and didn’t leave until you stunk]*?”
If you are aged 9-15 and would like to give wargames a go, you can learn from the master himself every other Saturday 10.30–12.30 at Dundee Children’s Library. The next one is on Saturday 9th December 2017. They don’t just play Tanks, but probably every wargame in the known universe (more details here).
