(So I’m writing this having just got back from a full day running my demo game at Vapnartak – I apologize in advance for any spelling issues)<\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start, covering the 29th of January through to the 4th of February.<\/p>\n

BLOG STUFF<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This week’s post was a new part in Building a Force, focusing this time on vehicles<\/a>. I found this post a little harder to write, as unlike infantry vehicles can well and truly unbalance many modern games. However, it was fun to do a run down of the various important bits. The next part will probably be next month (also probably before I go run a show) so keep your eyes open for that!<\/p>\n

This week is going to see a two post extravaganza. On Wednesday, I’ll be releasing the write up for Vapnartak, both in terms of how the demo game went and how Vapnartak 2018 was. It will probably be similar to the Fiasco post, with what I changed before the game and what I’ll be tweaking before the next one. Then on Friday, once I finish painting them, the plan is to take a look at the Operator Juarez pack that has been sat on my desk for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

NEWS<\/h3>\n

So news! And with this being Vapa week, Empress brought out some new insurgents<\/a>! Except these might look a little familiar if you picked up the Universal bodies<\/a> last year. These guys have sculpted keffiyeh on their heads. I’ll admit, when I first saw them I had mixed feeling but after seeing them in the flesh at Vapnartak (my Number 2 for demo games pick up a set) I’m much more excited about them. This is definitely a style of headwear that you couldn’t make modular and the poses would fit in great alongside the rest of their range. I also failed to notice the addition of a slung LAW tube to one of the riflemen which should be a nasty surprise. Empress has also put up some more picture of the Universal guys with the different heads<\/a> – the insurgent heads especially look like a great fit for any ragtag militia, from the Middle East to the Middle of the Rockies.<\/p>\n
