War Gaming – Fun, family and more

Game exhaustion?

Sunday night I played Stargrave. Monday night I played Warhammer AoS CCG. Tuesday night I played Warhammer 40,000 against my son (lots of house rules that change as the game develops 😁). Tonight I played half a game of AK-47 Republic. Tomorrow I’m playing Undaunted North Africa. I’m feeling a bit gamed out!

Stargrave Big Game.

4 of us are playing off in a game of Stargrave by Joseph McCullough. It’s going badly for me as I’ve lost my Captain and I’m under attack from both flanks However, death is not certain in Stargrave. We’ll see what is what in the post game phase.

Kings of War – a game.

I played 3rd edition Kings of War by Mantic Games last night. This is a table top war game for two players. I haven’t played KoW for about three years and I was keen to learn the new edition. To cut a long story short I made several rookie errors that allowed Ed, my opponent,Continue reading “Kings of War – a game.”

What a Tanker again!

Nigel Ashcroft came over for some WaT! action. We played a scenario where a fuel dump had to be destroyed/ defended. We managed to get 2 games in, both of us acting in each role. The idea was to shoot the big silver fuel tank and score 2 permanent damage hits. The fuel tank wasContinue reading “What a Tanker again!”

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.

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.”
