    During our Armada game this last weekend, had a chance to put to good use the Squadron plates I designed.  Imperials were flying several TIE fighter squadrons and Dengar, and the Rebels had a pair of X-Wings and Rogue Squadron.  The plates worked well, and kept things organized during the rather complex game. Admittedly the…

    Finally sat down to finish up the 3d scenery for Armada, in preparation for playing the game.  The asteroids turned out pretty decent, a bit of hot glue attaching them to the support poles worked fairly well.  For the nebulas, I used a cotton ball stretched (and glued) between two support poles.  The space station…

    Continuing my builds of Star Wars: Armada scenery, I am trying out an option to 3d print more pieces.  Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece.  What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…

    Continuing with my design for a space station model for Armada, I have what I believe to be a finished set.  Might end up throwing some paint on it, but the setup already looks pretty good.  Posted is a picture with an ISD Interdictor for scale and comparison.  Note that the base of the station…

    Continuing my efforts at 3d Armada terrain, I printed out a set of stands for the game, that match the existing published cardboard pieces.  In these cases, I can mount a peg (possibly plastic, likely a thin wooden dowel), and then the plan is a set of lava rock stones.  May or may not paint…

    I have been working on trying to enhance the materials for Star Wars: Armada, and have been focused recently on the scenery pieces – the space station and asteroid markers.  With the game, these are simple cardboard pieces, which work, but are not as nice as the full 3d ships and squadrons.  There was a…

    This weekend was our latest session of Zombicide: Black Plague, in our continuing effort to complete the initial missions from the book.  In this case, we attempted Quest 4 – Famine, and Quest 5 – The Commandry.  Famine is one we had tried previously, but simply ran out of time.  We attempted it again, but…

    As I continue to tinker with the 3d printer and create miscellaneous tools for various games, I created what I believe is a fairly nice tool for Armada, specifically around the use of Squadrons.  A common issue is that when you have to adjust damage, it is difficult to adjust the model, without moving other…
