Jozi's Tin Man: June 2015
http://jozistinman.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. A quick 5Core SciFi Skirmish. Had a nice, quick game of 5Core skirmish with my wife's nephew again last weekend. Just a 30 minute game, was able to quickly set it up using my new Terrablox terrain, or actually, I let our nephew do it. He played Space Marines and I had some Orks. The game was fast and fun, you cannot ask for more than that from a set of rules! Meanwhile, we have been pretty busy around the house, but we are off to Historicon in 2 weeks!

Still playing catch up, here are some snaps from our all day visit to the Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia, part of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. It is a huge facility where they keep the big stuff that won't fit in the building on the mall and is packed with amazing aircraft,. Here is a small sample of what you can see: (Click to enlarge). A Sparrowhak that flew from US Navy Dirigibles. The bas...

Jozi's Tin Man: October 2014
http://jozistinman.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2014. 5 Parsecs from Home Campaign. Like many of us, I spend far too much time making terrain, painting figures I may never use, and reading rule-sets rather than actually playing. So, I decided I want to play a 5 Parsecs from Home campaign and see how the rules work. So let’s start with our cast… (click to enlarge). Mission: Find Someone (Who? Opposition will have player figures 1 less figure than the player. No stealth, daytime. So, padre, what can I do for you? One of the platoon ...

Jozi's Tin Man: May 2015
http://jozistinman.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Brigade Commander Game 3 (and Terra Blocks and Painting). Mrs Tin Man and I have been busy getting ready for her oldest's wedding this month, but I did manage to get a little gaming in this past weekend. First up, I took the plunge and purchased a deluxe starter set of Terrablocks from Sally 4th. So I decided I needed some interior furniture and decided the most cost effective way was to go with 1/48 scale doll house furniture, and I picked up a pack for $9.99! CENTAG: 1985, Game 3.

Jozi's Tin Man: Pre-Historicon, Game 2
http://jozistinman.blogspot.com/2015/08/pre-historicon-game-2.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Pre-Historicon, Game 2. Got a second game in with the nephew before we went on vacation before Historicon. This time, we played "Last Stand of the Zulus" from Nordic Weasel's Battle Pack #3. The basic scenario is a group of special forces types are holding on to a hill against pursuing forces while waiting for extraction. As you can see, I have a mix of SF troops, these are AT-43 troops versus Starship Troopers mobile infantry. The pursuers start to move in. A Few Blogs I like.

Is and incredibly flexible and elegant set of skirmish rules. Frequently, I have to recruit family members to play, so a nice, fast set fo rules is imperative. Translating them to 5 Core. You can find my files for pulp gaming with 5Core here. And then cut them out. They turned out nicely and are. World renowned...
