Baron's Blog: May 2015

http://baronvonj.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29, 2015. To the Strongest: Roman Revenge. Morgah-Khan and his Orcish horde emerged through the strange mist into an even stranger world. It was too bright and too hot. But the land was ripe for pillage. For 2 weeks they lay waste to the land, until on the 15th day, they came upon another human army. It seemed much like the first they had crushed, so Morgah-Khan had no cares. Labels: To the Strongest. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Squeezing in a weekend game. My oldest wargaming buddy, Lead Addic.

Baron's Blog: April 2015

http://baronvonj.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2015. My lead pile runs deep. I've been enjoying Lion Rampant quite a bit. There's news that a Fantasy version is one it's way, "Dragon Rampant", but I can't wait that long. The forces of Chaos are too strong. These boys are getting a coat of paint (in suitable Chaotic colors) and will join the banner Vorak the Vile in his conquest of my table. They'll be treated as Foot Men-at-Arms. I've got mounted forces coming, too. Friday, April 24, 2015. Five Core: Battle for Meridian Prime Pt IV.

Baron's Blog: September 2014

http://baronvonj.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 26, 2014. Had a chance to play with John from Curio Clashes. And his awesome WW2 models and terrain. This would be my 3rd or 4th time playing Bolt Action and it still isn't making me get that "this is a great game! Feeling. I get a distinct Warhammer 20k taste in my mouth despite great toys and terrain. But, I do have some excitement. Lion Rampant. Showed up in the mail yesterday. I am a big fan of Dan Mersey's earlier book Dux Bellorum. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Just me an Bill.

Baron's Blog: Beat Down at the Bend - A Campaign for the Kingdom game

http://baronvonj.blogspot.com/2015/04/beat-down-at-bend-campaign-for-kingdom.html

Friday, April 10, 2015. Beat Down at the Bend - A Campaign for the Kingdom game. With Horace dead, the field was wide open for claiming the throne. Roderick was the next logical choice, Lionel, Baron of Stonekeep, thought Roderick a poor choice. Lionel was one of the few remaining lords since the beginning of the conflict to still have his head. He intended to keep it that way. Lionel leads his men forward. The forces were evenly matched, and both felt God was one their side. In the thick of it. But the ...

Baron's Blog: November 2014

http://baronvonj.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 24, 2014. The Great Steam Punk race. If you like all things steam, look here. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Christmas time is where I usually get a lot of books, as my wife finds trying to track down minis for me too daunting. This year, I bought one for myself. It's put out by Osprey surprisingly. Even though it's strictly Victorian SciFi, t's written like it's real history with color plates and write ups. GASLIGHT, be prepared for new troops! Friday, November 14, 2014. Followers of zee...

Basement Generals: January 2014

http://basementgenerals.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 17, 2014. Campaign for the Kingdom: Battle of Broken Hills. They had marched most of the morning and had but to make the pass through the Broken Hills, those troll haunted hills said to be the burial place of giants. But that is where Horace ran into Oswald, Baron of Ock. Troops await picking, just like a giant dodgeball match. Lionel urges his men up the hills. Was it not his men who turned the tide? Horace, it seemed, would have a new opponent come spring. Tuesday, January 14, 2014.

Basement Generals: Thursday Night Gunfight

http://basementgenerals.blogspot.com/2014/01/thursday-night-gunfight.html

Tuesday, January 14, 2014. Hadn't played Fistful of Lead in awhile. It was time to dig the not-so-sleepy border town of Lesterville. Johnny's gang has teamed up with Dixon gang (so named because they are made up of Dixon miniatures) to spring Johnny. Not out of any kind of loyalty, but because Johnny's the only one who knows where the loot from the last job is. The Marshal's men and the citizens set up first. Meanwhile, the people of Lesterville go about their work. All the citizens can be intera...An In...

Basement Generals: The Great Race

http://basementgenerals.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-great-race.html

Friday, August 9, 2013. Yes, race fans, it's that time again! Time for the Great Powers to gather and put their finest men and machines to the test. There were only going to be a few guys over last night, so I dug out an old idea with some new rules. The rules aren't even really new. I took two boardgames, Powerboats and Quicksilver, and pulled them off the board. This was a race using all my scratch-built VSF contraption. Italy makes it's move. The race went thusly:. Most of the race Luigi stayed firmly...

Essjam's Blog: An Argument in Hauverstover

http://essjam.blogspot.com/2013/10/an-argument-in-hauverstover.html

Tuesday, October 15, 2013. An Argument in Hauverstover. At a distant point in time years past, the duchy of Hauverstover was ruled by the Duke and Duchess Steinmauer. Gerhard Steinmauer had met a dark haired, blue eyed hellion named Elke Osterwald and had been totally smitten. Their courtship was a tempestuous one. Elke had led Gerhard on a merry chase before accepting a proposal of marriage. I have interesting news my dear stuffy old Duke! Elke my dear, this is so wonderful. May I grant you anything?
