Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2012 brings you joy and peace. I’ve had another good year on the blog. I’ve written 98 posts this year, down a bit from last year. Not bad considering little Ciarán arrived in May! My main focus in 2011 was campaign play and I see that continuing in 2011. [...]

This is the second post in my Audit series (the first on, on Warmachine and Hordes, is here). This time around I’m taking a critical look at my Malifaux gaming. Malifaux I picked up Malifaux not long after it was released, but interest in the game locally plummeted after the initial release. I still kept [...]

In this video I talk a little about copyright progress and show the deployment zone features, the revamped card control and some other basic features. Enjoy! Owen

I looked into this about three months ago, but didn’t have time to make progress on it then. I don’t have time now, but somehow I’ve managed to produce this version. VASSAL is essentially a boardgame simulator that allows players to play online – modules can be produced for different games. It does not simulate [...]

That’s right and there are loads of new goodies in it – Added Model art for Forces of Hordes: Trollbloods, Circle, Skorne, Legion, Minions and released models from Warmachine: Wrath Added Generic Huge Bases Added 0.5″ and 2″ Melee Overlays for Huge Bases Distance auras added for special abilities on many models Added missing Hordes [...]

When I was in Hamburg last month the only ‘wargame’ Phil and I played was Memoir ’44. We used to play it a bit before he moved to Germany. If you haven’t played it it’s a fun boardgame that plays quickly and offers a variety of missions that set Allied and Axis forces against each [...]

This is a quick overview of a game Phil and I played (on VASSAL) using the Apprentice Warcasters that I mentioned previously. The idea behind these guys is that we wanted a commander for small forces where it didn’t make sense for a full blown Warcaster to be in control. Khador have some options in [...]

In Game 1 I managed to get a win against Feora, but Game 2 wasn’t to go my way! Game 2 Overview Scenario: Killing Field (from Prime MkII) I really missed the ranged elements of my army in this game. I barely dented Phil’s force and ultimately it was the Sunburst of all things that [...]

Recently Phil and I have been getting our game on in VASSAL. We decided to play out a 4 x 25pt game variant of the ANNIHILATION rules. Phil brought his beloved Protectorate of Menoth and I decided to bring my Khadorans out to play. Over the course of the four games we had some great [...]

This’ll be a quick one. Tonight myself and Phil got a game in on VASSAL. I guess it’s down to a joint New Years resolution to play more games against each other. Phil lives in Hamburg and VASSAL gives use a chance to play against each other. We played a 25pt Break the Line game [...]
