Well now I am back at work I am finding it harder to get in a game but over the last few evening I managed to get in a playtest of another Stars & Lasers scenario, this time using some simple solo rules mechanics.

I spent a couple of hours over the last few days painting up some 15mm Aliens for my sci-fi games, these I believe are the old sculpts of the Kra’Vak infantry but thats not a problem as I like them and they will give me a good alien opponent for my human infantry although I will have to try and find [Read more...]

I managed to get a quick game using my ACW ships today, just wanted something simple so did a “run rabbit run!!” type scenario. Basically the Confederates had the job of chasing one lightly armoured Union ship while it tried to survive and the other Union ships had the job of shielding it as best [Read more...]
As I am stuck here in doors for the foreseeable future, I thought I would get a solo game of ACW Ironclads in while I had the chance. I thought that I would just go for a simple meeting engagement between two with about 1800 points each, the forces are as follows – Union USS Essex USS [Read more...]
