John R. reckons he can write my battle reports for me, the smart-ar$e! He reckons that they all start off like this: “What I should have done is….”Unfortunately in this instance he’s probably right! Last Friday night’s game against our furthest flung…
As I mentioned a few posts back, I’ve been getting in some solo or co-op games following along with Britton Publishing’s Solitaire Soldiers campaign book. There are ten missions, which I’m going through in order, which start from D-Day and follow a squ…
We played the scenario ‘Tigers by the Tail’ the other day. This scenario pits two ultra-high tech grav tanks versus five near-future tracked tanks in an ambush scenario. It is one of the scenarios from the TW rulebook and is there expressly for the pur…
Back again with more campaign action, only slightly trailing on rolling these out, though the quality has lowered a bit since 101. But, hey, I’ve been busy so get over it. Scenario 205 is the tail end of the second chapter, our… eighth, I think, in o…
For the first time in two years we are playing against the Trollbloods! And, for the first time ever we are playing against another member of the Privater Press “Press Gang.” A simple 15pt Mangled Metal (Claw and Fang) game. Enjoy!
IntroductionThis is game 8 in playtesting my ancient rules. Previous games used my rules called Ancient Warrior Battles. After game 6 I streamlined them and simplified the combat mechanism so renamed them Ancient Battlelines Clash (ABC)….
Hi all,
played my first game against the Tyranids last week, and although we only got three turns in, I thought I'd put a brief report together with a few thoughts as to what i did right and what wrong, and how i'd improve things next time.

Andy and I played our first game of Battlegroup Kursk (BGK) at the club in mid-April. We both got the rules in December last year but this was the first opportunity to play it. It was also the first time I had been at the local club sinc…
For the past few weeks, Ben and I had been talking about it, but last week, Ben and I finally got around to playing our first games of Blood Bowl in over a year. While there, he even gave me a demo of BFG as well.This was just coincidental in timing wi…
Running a little late on some of these posts, just been swamped getting ready for finals as well as trying out a few non-Infinity games (more on those later). Anyways, this scenario of the campaign is usually played by those who lost either of the firs…
Answering a distress call from a trade freighter, a force of Forge Fathers land at the crash sight on the backwater world of Koraloth.
The Stricken ship landed on one of the very few land masses on the ocean planet, destroying a settlement on what…
We played half of another game of Gruntz last weekend. The action was broken up by other considerations, brewing beer and making dinner, so we didn’t get to finish the game. This was my second game and The Traveller’s first.
The table.

So today we get to find out how this epic battle ended. The day after we played Turns 2-4 Andrew and I finished playing the game online using Hangout. I angled the webcam towards the table, he made the decisions and rolls for his side, and it played out well. I think we will try [...]
So Andrew and I managed to get together again and continue our WHFB game a few days after we started. When we left off, Turn 1 was pretty crushing for the Daemons and the state of things did not look good. Would a new day and a new set of turns change the tides of [...]
Insert your choice of cheesy music here.I haven’t been active on the blog of late due to a number of factors, including 4 days off work last week feeling generally bleaugh. On top of that I’ve misplaced the camera’s SD card with photos of my last ignom…
I played my first game in over a month last night, and boy does it show how rusty you can get very quickly, following as it did my first and second wins in the last week before the break. As such, I thought I'd reflect a little on the challenge tha…

Last Thursday, Craig came over to give me and Kelly an initiation into the Star wars X wing game. I will let the pictures talk you through the game..We used the two extension tables I built for Kelly. The game was very fast paced and great fun, with so…
WMCQ… the World Magic Cup Qualifiers. You have a whole year to play towards, in the case of Belgium, the minimum limit of 300 Planeswalker Points . Then your allowed to play in this event, which has a nice x5 PP modifier.It is the cullimi…
Saturday was the monthly Hail Caesar game. The local shop was running a tournament so I hosted Jonathan at my place. Our armies have both grown to the size where we can get some interesting tactical situations going. It was both fun, and frustrat…
Gaming has been pretty sparse the last month or so, with various illnesses cycling through the family and other real life reasons. And after last week’s game of 40k (wherein my borrowed Tau got tabled by their owner’s Dark Angels in my first learning game of 6th Edition), I was hoping that Fantasy would hit [...]
Man, slow round, sort of. Campaigning was a bit minimal this time around, partially due to a simple (if difficult) objective but also because everyone was gearing up for the ITS I’m running this weekend. But that’s not what this post is about, it comes…
This Saturday showed a bit more success in our group. We had our four show up, as well as two other 40k players, one of which I got in a quick 500 point game with. Zni’s army has quite a bit more paint on it this week, and I managed to finish up the …
First up Thank you and welcome to all the new followers, too many to name them all individually. I wish you all good luck for the competition and hope you find items of interest within my blog. I have hopefully managed to join all your blogs in return,…
Don “The Don” McHugh organised a round of the Southern League one-day FoGR competition in chilly Clevedon recently and this encouraged me to field yet another new army (made up of rather dubiously morphed old figures) – the Maratha.
Now, in 3 fully d…
