    Wargaming Week 13/11/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 5th through to the 12th. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was taking a look at the Tabula Rasa range from Knights of Dice. This is also the start of a new project which I’m looking forward to; the experience of building the demo board has made me a little more confident at building and painting terrain. Now I get to have the fun job of picking what I want each of the buildings to look like… GAMING Honestly not much – my thursday ended up being more work. PURCHASES This week saw the release of the…

    Initial Impressions: Knights of Dice Tabula Rasa

      In my overview earlier this year looking at Adobe buildings, I briefly talked about Knights of Dice and their MDF buildings. Since then, I’ve picked up the rest of range and I’m now ready to talk about all the various buildings you can purchase from the Tabula Rasa desert range. In this post, I’m going to look over the basics shells, point out some features and then quickly talk about what I intend to next with them. First up, let’s talk about the common features. All the buildings are designed as shells, only contained key structural features and with…

    Wargaming Week 06/11/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 30th of October through to the 5th of November. BLOG STUFF Friday’s post was recapping the run of Operation Dragon Hoard at Fiasco 2017. As you might guess from my blog post and from the various other places I’ve talked about it, I had a really good time. I’m not 100% finished with it but it’s definitely getting there. In other blog news, I might have messed up on Friday while doing some clean up. A few old posts reactivated and WordPress decided to remind everyone about it. This wasn’t intended and I should have put the…

  • Important: Cleaning Up and Coming Soon!

    Hey everyone! So, if you you may have received a pile of emails earlier this evening talking about video games. You may also have noticed there has been a bit of a drop in the number of posts on the site and lots of categories have gone missing. This is because I’ve decided to tidy up this site! Although it’s now focused on wargaming, before it was my personal place to scrawl everything from video games to tech to how my life was going. However, with how the site is going (and what I’m planning for next year) having that…

    Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Fiasco, Leeds

    If you haven’t checked out the previous posts in the series on Operation Dragon’s Hoard, check out the page I’ve set up for it at https://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/demo-game-operation-dragons-hoard/ Operation Dragon’s Hoard had its first public showing last weekend. This was a pretty major turning point for this project – as well as having the game running, it also needed to actually attract people to it from the horde walking past. Pre-Game Tweaks Remember the massive list of things at the end of the last post? Unfortunately due to a couple of reasons (mainly the potent cocktail of other releases, work and finishing a…

    Wargaming Week 30/10/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 23rd through to the 29th. BLOG STUFF Last week’s post was all about the SAS fighting Werewolves! Got to admit, this was the worst performing post so far this year which was a little disappointing but it was a fun time playing it. GAMING So werewolves fighting SAS. I had a good time playing it but there are a few optional tweaks I’d recommend trying out in the post. It was just the right sort of dumb for a Halloween game and everyone involved had a good time so thumbs up! It also seemed to annoy a…

    Battle Report: Home of the Wolf – Skirmish Sangin

    It was the last club night before Halloween – something slightly spooky was required. With freshly finished scenario in one hand, and freshly painted werewolves in the other, we sat down to play… Home of the Wolf! The scenario saw 8 UKSF soldiers and a SIS agent going up against 3 werewolves. Thanks to the design of the scenario, I managed to fit two games of it in. The board ready to play, with an abandoned compound in the middle of a forested valley. I think this was the most trees I’ve used in any of my wargames. First game…

    Dare You Enter… the Home of the Wolf!

    SHOWING NOW ON A WARGAME TABLE NEAR YOU….  Halloween is always a great time to put some stranger things on your wargames table. Rather than the usual zombies, and after watching a film or two, I instead pitched Colin on werewolves. Nasty, agile, ambush predators werewolves that are dead hard to kill. The scenario includes the special rules for the werewolves and a small scale action showing the SAS going up against a pack. This free scenario (as well as some more serious ones) can be found on the Skirmish Sangin site at the download page http://www.skirmishsangin.com/downloads/ Tune in on Friday…
