  • Legion double-feature

    Legion double-feature

    After a bit of a pause due to scheduling conflicts and illnesses, we are back with multiple Star Wars Legion episodes. Although there is no new release this week, we recorded Battle Report 079 on Wednesday, and episode 080 will be this evening. Once processed, that should set us up well to hopefully get back…

  • Mordheim

    Ages ago, our gaming group became addicted to the tabletop strategy game Mordheim, as published by Games Workshop around 1999. Although official support was short-lived, the game has lived on in fan-supported formats. Recently, there has been discussions and rumors about playing the game again, in a competitive tabletop format, as part of our strategy…

  • Battle of Hoth

    I have gotten it in my head to craft a modular terrain board for Star Wars Legion (and potentially other games) and have settled on a rolling hillside based on Hoth terrain. To this end, I have been studying various YouTube options, and have acquired a bit of foam and supplies. The design is to…

  • Star Wars X-Wing battle report

    In celebration of Star Wars Day, I managed to play another round of X-Wing, this time with just my son. He was flying a revised Scum list, while I had a revised Rebel squadron. Although we understood the game and it progressed much faster, the game only lasted 7 turns until my entire fleet was…

Twilight Imperium (TI4) is something I have had on my shelf for a couple of years, but had only had the opportunity to play once, and then only partially. I had always wanted to…

  • Star Wars

    During this extended transition, I have continued to be active collecting and preparing for my various Star Wars games, to include Legion, Armada, and X-Wing. For Legion, beyond collecting a number of additional expansions, we have branched out into the Clone Wars expansion. Those forces are limited to just the core set thus far (the…

  • Quest 9 – The Hellhole

    Planning another round of Zombicide: Black Plague this Sunday, with an attempt at Quest 9 (The Hellhole) with the group. This is another hard mission (second to the last), with a mechanics twist that should prove a bit challenging. Most of the board is relatively straight forward, but there is a timer and timing mechanism…

  • Zombicide on YouTube

    As promised (threatened), I have uploaded the latest Zombicide: Black Plague play thru to YouTube. Two hours of excitement and enjoyment of the group against the oncoming Zombie hordes. No doubt we made a few rules errors in the game, but it was all fun, so no big deal to us. If you spot any…
