Stargrave Campaign.

I played the second game in my Stargrave campaign against top gaming chum Steve. The first game saw me emerge victorious. Tonight was different. We played the Salvage Crew scenario. The first turn saw Steve’s gunner knock off 20% of my crew in turn 1. Whilst not the end of the world it did limitContinue reading “Stargrave Campaign.”

Work in progress.

I’m painting Darth Vader and a few chaps from the SWIA box. I’ve had these for a few years but it’s sat on a shelf until my boy dragged it out. I’m using the figures for a Stargrave crew. Some “destroyed” markers for various tank games plus a spaceship/shuttle for Stargrave tomorrow.

Slightly overwhelmed.

I’ve taken on too many projects! I’ve got What a Tanker! WW3 Team Yankee, O Group, Kings of War, Stargrave and Star Wars Imperial Assault on the go. Not to mention gardening and garage projects. Plus it’s half term and I’ve promised the kids a few days out and about. I think I need toContinue reading “Slightly overwhelmed.”

What a Tanker games X 2

Nigel popped over for a couple of games of WaT! Tonight. We’ve played a few times and last time my Panzer 3 achieved its fifth kill so this week I was permitted to bring a more powerful tank if I wished. I decided to field a STuG 3g alongside my Panzer 4. Nigel had aContinue reading “What a Tanker games X 2”

Painting camo.

Just working on a simple but effective camo pattern. The dark brown undercoat went on unevenly. I will need a rethink

World War 3 Team Yankee

First game of WW3TY tonight against Dan Carroll . Using the Complete Starter Set I chose Soviets so Dan had USA. We took it slow and worked through the rules. Dan emerged victorious and we both agreed it’s a good system. Looks like another war games rabbit hole to disappear down!

Team Yankee.

I stumbled across a review of WW3 Team Yankee on YouTube. It was someone’s list of favourite skirmish games or somesuch. This tickled my fancy and I looked for other videos about TY. One recommended buying 2 starter sets because they represent such good value plus you have 2 A5 rulebooks so your gaming buddyContinue reading “Team Yankee.”

Stargrave.

We played a new wargame tonight called Stargrave. A sci fi game that pits 2 starship crews against each other in a skirmish. Think Firefly or similar. There are plenty of reviews, unboxing video or game run throughs online if you are interested. I can recommend the game. We picked up the rules quickly andContinue reading “Stargrave.”

Throw it in the bin.

We spent several hours decluttering the kitchen at the weekend. It felt good to get organized. I found an over-engineered pasta pot that my mum gave me in 2012 for my birthday. It still has the card attached. It was nice to read the card and hear her voice in my head (she died 2018).Continue reading “Throw it in the bin.”
