I didn’t manage to get to the club this week so I decided to have a solo game of Stars & Lasers, I decided it would be a simple attack over a mining facility based in an asteroid field. So two colonies have sent two fairly strong forces in to the asteroid field to decide the fate of the [Read more...]
Well that has been a horrible couple of weeks! Illness took me away from my hobby stuff which is always annoying, but I am at last starting to feel a little better… well enough to get a small amount of painting done. This time I have been working on my 3D printed ACW ships ready for games of [Read more...]
Well this Monday at the club I was going to put some spaceships on the table for a Stars & Lasers game, but I had a couple of people looking to join in a game so I switched over to the Last Drifters which is a little easier to run as a party game. So what to do… I thought that it would be a [Read more...]

So I just did a Heavy Cruiser with turreted Railgun, a Frigate and a [Read more...]
Yep as the title suggests this post is about the silliness that is the Black Plastic Fight Stand fiasco! As anyone that reads my blog posts on a regular basis will know I have a few spaceships in my collection, some would say too many. I have often said you can't have too many [Read more...]
I put on a game of the Last Drifters at the club last night and this time it was a Destruction Derby, as the name suggests a destruction derby is where vehicles drive around an enclosed track or ring and simply ram into each other trying to destroy the other vehicles. The winner of the event [Read more...]
I have not had a chance for much hobby stuff over the last week, but at least my printer has been busy. I brought a few files from Wargames Vault some of which were STL files for ACW ships, including these three pictured below. First is the USS Indianola, this is another paddle steamer to add [Read more...]
I had a little time today so I decided to get a game of Stars & Lasers and following on from a suggestion from a friend I decided to go with a big ship being attacked by loads of smaller ships. So I had one Leviathan and it’s two supporting Frigates trying to get across the long table! And [Read more...]
