Christmas Goodies!

Santa was very kind to me this year as I found a few wargames-related (sort of) things under the Christmas tree. I must have been a very good boy in 2015!

I've not done much console/computer gaming since the kids were born...in fact, the last time I had a Playstation was back in the days of PS2...but Santa brought the kids a PS4 this year and I was lucky enough to get some great-looking games myself. I've not had much chance to try them out yet but once the kids go back to school it will be a different matter...I do worry, though, about the effects a PS4 will have on my free time!

The history books all look superb...in fact, I'm already deep into The War in the West and it is so far superb. I highly recommend it! It also happens to go very well with the DVD of Dunkirk...one of my favourite old war films...up there with Ice Cold in Alex! And then you can never have enough KR Multicases, in my humble opinion!

I hope you all had a good New Years and the hangovers are all history!

Blood Eagle Blog

I'm back...in between family games and finishing off the Christmas food...with more news!

Craig Cartmell of The Ministry of Gentlemanly Wafare and co-author of In Her Majesty's Name and Daisho has set up a new blog for their forthcoming game, Blood Eagle, based on the same rules. I, for one, am very much looking forward to these rules! You can find the blog here and the Facebook page here.

Free Star Wars Programme Guide for 7TV 2nd Edition from Crooked Dice

Just taking a quick moment between games of Exploding Kittens and Magic the Gathering as I have just found out that the chaps at Crooked Dice have released a free Star Wars Programme Guide for 7TV 2nd Edition...

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…

Join the fight as a member of the Rebel Alliance, the Empire, or will you be a gang of scum willing to hire out to the highest bidder? Three new casts with profile cards for 7TV 2nd edition, based on Episodes IV through VI of the Star Wars films.

26 pages including renamed Gadget cards more suitable for the Star Wars universe. Grab your lightsaber or blaster, and may the force be with you!

This product is FREE and requires the 7TV 2nd edition rules to use.

Jolly decent of them! Especially with everything being all about Star Wars at the moment (if you haven't seen The Force Awakens yet you should!).  

Hope you're all having a good Christmas! See you in the New Year!

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

I'm not going to be doing much wargaming over the holidays but I shall be playing lots of family games especially the rather brilliant Exploding Kittens! Thanks to Matt Slade for pointing us in its direction!

We'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas...may Santa bring you lots of gaming goodies...and all the best for the New Year!

Renegade Indians and The Kelly Gang for Dead Man's Hand

 

Matt of Glenbrook Games recently finished up some more Dead Man's Hand figures for me...this time some Renegade Indians and The Kelly Gang. He has, as always, done a superb job!

I'm not sure I'll actually use the Kelly Gang for Dead Man's Hand but I think they will do nicely as the basis for an In Her Majesty's Name company. 

As for the Renegade Indians, my son and I played a game of Dead Man's Hand yesterday with his Renegade Indians taking on my Outlaws. Another action-packed game...it really is great fun! I'll try and get the battle report written up before Christmas. 

In case I don't, though, I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas...may Santa bring you lots of gaming goodies...and all the best for the New year!

Deep Cut Studio - Red Planet Theme Wargames Terrain Mat

Within a few days of my Deep Cut Studio Wastelands Theme Mat arriving, I splashed out on a second mat...tempted by yet another of Wayland Games seemingly frequent discounts. This time I went for the Red Planet Theme Mat as I'm planning on doing an In Her Majesty's Name Mars campaign at some point next year.

Well, after five weeks, my mat finally arrived...and it looks superb (I'm afraid my camera...and the gloomy day...really doesn't do the mat justice)!

I'm now waiting for another Wayland Games discount/sale and I shall pick up another...just finding it hard to decide between the Cobblestone one, the Desert one or the Steppe one....

Lucid Eye News

Lucid Eye just posted on their Facebook page that the Lucid Eye Savage Core range...some of my favourite figures...will be available direct from Warlord Games. There will also be new Savage Core releases in 2016 along with, it seems, a set of rules!

Anyway, here's the post:

News From The Future!

The Lucid Eye Savage Core range will shortly be available direct from Warlord Games!

Over the next few months, the Savage Core range will be available from the Warlord website, watch for further news. This will not supplant Arcane Scenery's sterling efforts in that direction, who will continue to stock the Lucid Eye ranges.

2016 promises to be a busy year for The Eye, as the Lucidea range comes to fruition, with further releases for Savage Core, and perhaps some further news of the Lucid Eye games system. What excitement! Hoo!

Meanwhile, all you supportive guys can bask in the seasonal light of good vibes emanating from the glowing, all seeing, mystical Eye of Lucidea.
