Adeptus Titanicus

The little blue men are Space Marines.

Monday night, game night and what a night it was! Lewis brought out the big guns, laying out a real blast from the past with a game of Adeptus Titanicus. Phil and I had different secret objectives although the main mission was "not blow up."

For those of you who have no idea what Adeptus Titanicus is:

Adeptus Titanicus was the first game introducing the Epic system. You control a number of Imperial Battle Titans, while your opponent controls some Chaos Titans. You reenact battles from the Horus Heresy. The Titans are modular in design and so you could adapt the armaments of the Titans to suite the battle you will be fighting. - Boardgamegeek.com

The game had plenty of 'yay-boo' moments. Phil certainly had better luck with the dice. I rolled far too many one's and two's for my liking. Despite this, I managed to take out two of Phil's Titans. I also took out one of my own - a tactical move that didn't pay off but was hilarious anyway. After a hard fought couple of hours, we came out even with a draw. Adeptus Titanicus was the real winner on the night. Thanks Lewis for an awesome game!
