wargamesdiary   A diary of war games and board games

Firefly the boardgame.
Bruce, Darryl, Phil, Andy and Mike played this game for the first time. Darryl self sacrificed by taking the best ship. Bruce set the Alliance Police against Phil. Andy shipped Beef and Darryl worked as a taxi. Mike pulled off a dangerous job fighting gangsters. Phil tried to commit a crime but generally did smuggling. At the end Bruce had the most money. Was fun.

Space Hulk
Mike and Phil played the Space Marines against Darryl’s Genestealers.
The first game finished rapidly so Darryl gave them some tips. Second time round was a Victory for the Space Marines with one room flamed and the other Chaingunned the genepool was saved!

Annual Christmas games night. Phil, Mike, Izzy, Andy, Bruce and Darryl.

First up two games of Escape from the Temple, followed by a game of French Revolution execution card game. Then some excellent games of Tarantula Tango card game and finally some failed attempts at Fire Rescue. Lots of fun indeed. Thanks to Mike for bringing them along.

Completed today a Sally 4th Siege Engine and a 4 Ground Cart.  Also my rebasing of Prince Rupert’s Regiment of Pike.

In progress my Cherry Blossom trees for Samurai warfare.  Some of which I will leave free standing to go onto my resin tree bases when required .  Others I will put on round bases to fit with my 4 ground tree base  (which can’t find right now) or be free standing.  I have fixed them using my hot glue gun and cork onto a 60mm round base which I have textured with 4 ground base render.

Finally I have gone a bit mad on the Warlord site (I only logged on to buy some half-price sprues honest) and ordered a Pegasus bridge set and some Parliamentarian infantry.  Then I looked at Leisure games and ordered some Tolkien stuff (One Ring because I like reading the books) and a Hobbit game which looked good.  Oh dear.

Rebasing a Pike block (Rupert’s) to better fit in with my collection and for Pike and Shotte rules.

I made a cliff face to use as a backdrop/ impassable terrain following the Woodland Scenics tutorials. It is nearing completion but the trouble is deciding when to stop.
