Greetings Crabophiles everywhere! Yes, just like General
MacArthur or a case of herpes I have
returned. And yes, I am well aware of the lapse of time between posts. All I
can say is that life and a new job got in the way. Here's hoping I post more
this year and continue my mad campaign to inflict my own brand of unique
crabbiness into your mundane gaming lives. And kudos to Hudson
from Hudson 's Hideout (formerly the
artist known as OneAngryGamer) for not booting me from his link page due to my
inactivity.
So everyone had already done there New Year posts about what I want to do in gaming for 2013. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm late. Anyway, this time I decided to try and have a plan for this year's
gaming endeavors. I want to focus more on miniature gaming, especially at
smaller and less expensive scales than 28mm. This would allow me to host games
without the need for big tables because portability would be possible and
further supplying both sides of the conflict would be feasible. Also a chief
concern was I want to utilize some of the miniatures sitting on the lead pile
that have been gathering dust or ages undreamed. So rather than succumb to the usual try any
new and cool system that looks fun and see what sticks to the wall approach of previous
years, I thought long and hard and decided to try and stick to two miniature
wargaming projects in the hopes of fielding armies and actually playing. These
are:
2) 10mm American Civil War for use with Sam Mustapha's
upcoming Longstreet rules (http://www.sammustafa.com/honour/modules-games/future-modules)
Now I am allowing myself two outs here. First is that a
third new period is allowed but no more than that. And second, this isn't to say
I won't play or paint anything else I already own. Any of that is fair game.
The point is I want to limit my new purchases of rules and lead to one of the
projects above.
And here are some 10mm Fantasy miniatures. These are single
based as Songs of Blades and Heroes is a skirmish game. And again the goal is to paint to a decent tabletop standard.
