Gaming in the garage.

I’ve been fortunate to have a few friends over on separate days in the last couple of weeks. Dan on Monday, Nigel on Thursday and Steve whenever he can. We’ve been playing What a Tanker and Stargrave. Tanker is a funny game. Thursday against Nigel saw neither of us able to roll a decent setContinue reading “Gaming in the garage.”

Star Wars Imperial Assault Game.

I bought this game some time ago in a sale. I’ve never played it. My son found it in the loft and asked to play it. This filled me with trepidation! You see, my son has no truck with following the rules. He selected Darth Vader as his character and UPGRADED HIM! It’s great toContinue reading “Star Wars Imperial Assault Game.”

I obviously needed it.

I’ve been a bit under the weather for a week or so. Last night I slept for 14 hours. I still feel tired today. I think I’ll go back to bed.

Garage games.

Nigel came over and we had a couple of games in the garage. Nigel chose Soviets with a Sherman and Matilda as his two tanks. I played Germany with a Panzer 3 and 4 as my tanks. We played two games. Neither of us could get decisive shots on target and both games were grindingContinue reading “Garage games.”

What a Tanker!

I’ve poached an idea or two from a Facebook group and invented some myself. I give you 8 additional tanker cards to use.

Strange day.

I’ve had a strange day today. I had a few things I wanted to do but I woke up feeling exhausted and by lunch time I had to go back to bed. I slept for 6 hours and now feel better. I put it down to starting back at work and being more active inContinue reading “Strange day.”

Sunshine art.

The Sun shines through the Palm Temple. I left the traffic cone in as a sign of the times. The artist is Luke Jerram.

An hour’s fun.

It was like I was a kid again, only better. I bought 3 Zvezda tanks in 15mm scale. A British Matilda, an American Sherman and a German Ferdinand. I’d not bought from Zvezda before but had heard they have a great reputation, so I was confident of a good product. However what I got wasContinue reading “An hour’s fun.”

What a Tanker! Garage Wars.

Had a game of What a Tanker! against gaming pal Dan last night. We played a scenario where the defenders don’t know what road the attacker is on until they try to acquire a target. Is it an enemy tank or a stray cow! BOOM! Burgers. Once the attack is realised the defenders must regroupContinue reading “What a Tanker! Garage Wars.”

An error, I believe.

I’m in pain. Today was my first full day back at work since Christmas. I commuted on my e-bike and this morning there were only 2 bars on the power indicator. I thought I would have enough power to get to and from work. I put the motor into “tour”, which is low assistance, andContinue reading “An error, I believe.”
