Been a while - Cosmic Encounter

A rather late game report as last week the complete collective met up for pizza, a game and for Sylon and Tony the Tiger to meet in person for the first time. 

Tony was going going to be late so we started a game of Cosmic Encounter - a game we hadn’t played in at least 6 years (in fact I don’t recall playing it at all) and dating from the 70’s - I recall seeing adverts for the Games Workshop version in White Dwarf before they went all in house and grim dark. 

We randomly dealt out 3 races and then picked one. Dave and I took an early lead, before cagey playing brought Sylon and Steedo into contention. 

The game was close and as we pulled Dave in Sylon joined him one point away from victory - so they connived to claim a joint victory. 

Then Tony turned up and it was decided to play another game of Cosmic Encounter. This was a tense game with lots of tight play - meaning the warp was packed with ships. 

The game was so close that there was only one loser and 5 winners - a bad night for Snake-eyes as the only gamer without a win. 

I enjoyed Cosmic Encounter, as I think the rest of the collective did. We need to on our negotiating part of the game. I would like to play it again sometime. 

I have also let myself down by buying the tactical ops cards and the Kill Team Core Rules book off eBay. I can’t actually play the game yet as I would need the compendium to get the data sheets and I’m not sure that many of my Kill Teams are still legal ….
