Calling Major Tom

It’s time for a big reveal of a little ship.  My latest and greatest project was partially inspired by the guys over on TheMiniaturesPage.com pimping Pocketmunda and partially inspired by the pictures inside the Starship Marine rules (pdf warning).

New Project, New Scale, Old Habits

It’s time for a new project, and maybe a new scale.  The size and cost and ease of storage of the 10mm boys is great, but there are a lot of fun little 15mm troops out there, too.  Most of the games I play are more skirmish and having...

FUBAR Ruminations

Woah, four posts in four days, this blog just might be back.  It’s amazing how much more time a guy has when he’s not coaching his daughter’s soccer team to a league championship.  That’s right, I know how to coach soccer – the secret is inheriting kids from other...

Tomorrow’s War AAR: Test Drive

Took the Tomorrow’s War ruleset for a little test drive over the Labor Day Weekend, and figured what I haven’t figured out.  Now I know what sections of the rulebook need a good re-reading.  Here are some quick notes on the game. I have 20 each of the lizardmen...
