We have all faced it, the inevitable and unwinnable
conflict. It is a classic match-up like
the immovable object vs. the unstoppable force, Space Marines vs. Space Orks,
or Target vs. Wal-mart. That is the
inevitable conflict between Real Life and Hobby Life.
I have run smack dab into this conflict recently. Between my schedule, my families schedule, my
opponent’s schedules etc. there has been very little time to game. However, I wanted to give you all a sneak peek
at some of the items that are still on the table! These are games that are all set-up and ready
to be played but I haven’t had the time to actually play with anyone yet!
First up is this….
This time, the Balkan
League is patrolling the Aegean for Turkish troop ships when the run afoul of
an Ottoman League patrol. This will
feature the French Fleet assets supported by the Greek Armored Cruiser vs. an
Austro-Hungarian squadron.
You probably recognize my infamous paper templates and Aeronautica Imperialis bases.
Next up is this….
This is the first scenario in the Tomorrow’s War rulebook called Lost
and Found. You then see for yourself
how accurate my review was. Some people
feel that this scenario is unbalanced.
We will have to see what happens.
An Imperial Tie
Striker was lost on routine air patrol on the forest planet of Tabletooine. The Imperial pilot escaped and is evading
rebel troopers in a nearby outbuilding.
Imperial Stormtroopers from a nearby garrison have been sent in to
locate and rescue him and recover the Tie’s recorder device.
The miniatures are old Star Wars Micro Machine toys that
are probably 10mm scale or so? The
terrain is my trusty green mat, lichen, and electrician’s box that have served
me well for so many games.
Finally, I managed to get my Blood Bowl teams assembled (but not painted) and I taught my
daughter how to play. We might see a few
of our game reports once I figure out how to write a good Blood Bowl battle report.
I hope to have these battles done and updated soon. In addition, I have mulling over some new
purchases to review. I am torn. There are two genres three major genres that I
have never really given much thought or effort to; Nappies, WWII, and Wild
West. However, lately I have been
wanting to dabble my feet in them. Maybe
I will pick something up to review soon.
or
These have both really been tempting me. The Wild West will have to wait, but I think I
have a copy of Legends of the Old West
banging around here somewhere!
Lastly, I have an upcoming review of Pulp Alley rules. I have
been reading through them and there are a lot of interesting ideas and concepts
to comment on.
Then, I also have some of the Frostgrave supplements to comment on.
So I have a few reviews locked and loaded for the next
few weeks. I just hope stupid real life doesn’t
ruin my plans!
Final Thoughts
Like many of us, Real Life has been getting in the way of
my important wargame projects. However,
I still have some projects to be posting soon.
In addition, I have archival content that I will use to bolster the slow
times for me with things like, AeronauticaImperialis, The Games: Blood andSpectacles, and Da Deff Island Skirmish,
and other things from my days of yore.
Stay Tuned!
