Each does a different role and I&#8217;m probably going to end up buying some more from each of them as the year rolls on.<\/p>\n<h3>Gaming<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5300\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/cropped-IMG_20170318_170133-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"315\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I got my first solo game in as I mentioned above. Go read the report for my full feedback but it was strangely nice to play solo, especially when trying out rules you&#8217;ve written. You miss out on a lot of the social side but it does mean you can play at your own pace. I was able to take notes of every action each time a character was activated which is something that would probably not happen if I was running a game with someone else.<\/p>\n<h3>Purchases<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing new but some stuff arrived and some stuff coming soon.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5315\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_20170319_141254-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can tell from my articles, the Sarissa stuff arrived. I&#8217;m really a big fan of the sets I ordered. They are ridiculously high detail and will make for a good board to fight over. Now to finish building that factory&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As for upcoming stuff, Spectre have released a preview of some new stuff. I am a big fan of their existing vehicle and a more standard civilian vehicle will very easily find a place on my wargames table. Also I&#8217;m a sucker for jersey barriers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 48.10185185185185% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRp99euBr-K\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A preview of some of our next releases #spectreminiatures #spectreoperations #tabletopgaming #wargaming #wargamesterrain<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A post shared by Spectre (@spectreminiatures) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2017-03-15T10:40:14+00:00\">Mar 15, 2017 at 3:40am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Oh and I also got my ticket for Salute.

I need another figure for the solo game to stand in for a medic character. The figure I ended up using was one form the US guys in light gear.
