  • Star Wars X-Wing battle report

    In celebration of Star Wars Day, I managed to play another round of X-Wing, this time with just my son. He was flying a revised Scum list, while I had a revised Rebel squadron. Although we understood the game and it progressed much faster, the game only lasted 7 turns until my entire fleet was…

  • Twilight Imperium

    After many weeks of planning, we finally held our big summer Twilight Imperium game session – a two day boardgame bonanza. Twilight Imperium (TI4) is something I have had on my shelf for a couple of years, but had only had the opportunity to play once, and then only partially. I had always wanted to…

  • Star Wars

    During this extended transition, I have continued to be active collecting and preparing for my various Star Wars games, to include Legion, Armada, and X-Wing. For Legion, beyond collecting a number of additional expansions, we have branched out into the Clone Wars expansion. Those forces are limited to just the core set thus far (the…

  • Quest 9 – The Hellhole

    Planning another round of Zombicide: Black Plague this Sunday, with an attempt at Quest 9 (The Hellhole) with the group. This is another hard mission (second to the last), with a mechanics twist that should prove a bit challenging. Most of the board is relatively straight forward, but there is a timer and timing mechanism…

  • Zombicide on YouTube

    As promised (threatened), I have uploaded the latest Zombicide: Black Plague play thru to YouTube. Two hours of excitement and enjoyment of the group against the oncoming Zombie hordes. No doubt we made a few rules errors in the game, but it was all fun, so no big deal to us. If you spot any…

  • Zombicide

    This last Sunday, we managed to play some more Zombicide: Black Plague, and wrapped up missions 6 and most of 7.  Mission 6 was won in the first attempt, despite our lack of game time recently, everyone was working well together and the zombies could not catch up – though it did get a bit…

  • Star Wars: Legion terrain

    Spent a couple days working on terrain for Star Wars: Legion, specifically an Imperial Bunker by Upsidedown98.  Print was lengthy (about 36 hours), but not unreasonable for the bulk, and my printer has become rather finely tuned now, so the quality is pretty decent.  The piece is in two parts, the base plus a removable…

  • Cancelled our Tabletop day

    This last weekend was our scheduled bi-weekly tabletop day, where we routinely play Zombicide, Star Wars Armada, Magic the Gathering or any of a number of other games.  Instead, we opted to cancel the games, and instead spend time with our respective Mom’s (or in my case, my wife).  As a family, we did end…
