New Year, New Campaign. This time around we’re playing a 5-game ANNIHILATION campaign. Here’s the battle report for the first game – We haven’t quite figured out the fluffy context for the campaign yet, but something to do with the Circle Orboros forces trying to cut the movement of supplies north, thus isolating the Legion [...]

These guys, however didn’t do the heavy lifting. There were three stars of the game, which was played using the Incursion scenario. #3 The Shepherd that scored two [...]

We have a new wargames shop here in Maynooth called Gamers Hub. It opened a couple of weeks ago and stocks Privateer Press (Warmachine and Hordes), Games Workshop (Warhammer, 40k, etc.), CCG (Magic The Gathering and all that nonsense!), board games and plenty of other things. Ethan, the store owner, can order in anything you [...]
