Ahhh, the sweet, sweet anticipation of a project not yet fully planned, not yet begun, and not yet totally screwed up. Gimme a little time on that third one.  After a bit of fol-de-rol at the hardware store, I managed to get 8 tiles of 12″ by 12″ pressed...

Should I put real money down on AK-47?  That’s the question I’ve been asking myself since this past weekend’s test drive.  It took an hour to play the first turn of the game.  Part of that is the process of figuring out rules for the first time.  Part of...

This post has nothing to do with miniature wargaming.  You’ve been warned. Big fan of college football here.  I’ve spent the last month whining and bitching and moaning like a little girl over the travesty that is an in-conference bowl game – and a national championship game no less!...

Before jumping headlong into the AK-47 Republic game, I put together a basic ‘test drive kit’ using plain cardboard marked up with markers.  A few big irregular chunks for terrain, and me and my son were off to the races. Now that’s budget terrain. The main event featured a People’s...

Coming Soon Eventually Picked up a copy of this fun little ruleset recently.  Tinkering with force selection and terrain needs.  Need to figure out whether or not it can be done cheap and portable. First need to make sure game is worth spending real money on.  Will test drive...

Three posts in three days!  Woot!  Gotta love those three day weekends. It’s also fun to have things to show you guys that you haven’t seen yet.  Wish it happened more often.  Here it is – the whole shooting match. All nine square-feet of real estate can be tucked...

Merry Christmas!  My own little gift to you is a few shots of my completed cityscape.  Check this bad boy out.  Nine square feet of battleground ready for armies of little plastic warriors.  Of course, if you have more table to fill, and you have a ice gray drop...

As a Christmas present to myself, I completed the holiday preparations early enough that I could devote a few hours to finish up the big cityscape.  So here they are, the last four blocks of the city-scape. The round thing in  the back is some sort of modern concretesculpture/...

Remember way back in October when I hoped to have this city table done by year’s end?  I’m not quite done, and it’s not quite the end of the year. The paint streaks show up in these photos more than they do in real life.  They are also way...

The problem with big projects like city scapes is that you do so many repetitions of the same work.  Take these shots, for instance: Two more buildings base coated and ready for The Dip.  But we’ve seen this before, haven’t we.  The only real new thing in this shot is the...
