Tempests in a Teapot: August 2014
http://tempestsinateapot.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tempests in a Teapot. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. X-Wing Scenario: Get the Tantive IV Part II, the AAR. This article continued from here. The forces of the Empire and Alliance were arrayed for battle. To begin, we rolled once for initiative, and the rebels won - thus, they would be moving and shooting first. The Empire forces were played by (TIES) Albrecht, (bombers)Kenzie and Eljay (a rare treat, to be sure, having Eljay about). Scimitar bomber flight with Obsidian TIE escorts. TIE bomber smells blood.

Tempests in a Teapot. Monday, June 15, 2015. StarGrunt II at NJ Con. As has been mentioned previously, NJ Con in Edison NJ is a great convention. I ran two StarGrunt scenarios, both of which were designed for TravellerCon-USA. Full write-ups of these can be found here. However, I'll post some recent pictures from NJ Con to keep current. The SMS Mercs - Pinned atop the Dinom Corp HQ. Here comes the cavalry - 1300 HP worth. Downtown Mikanek - Soosboro. Going by The Book, I sent my recon sleds forward, hopi...

Tempests in a Teapot: April 2014
http://tempestsinateapot.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tempests in a Teapot. Monday, April 28, 2014. Interstellar Wars: The Battle of Ross 154. After a gap of several months, I was able to get to a meeting of the Friday Night Pals. I was keen to put my Imperial Battleship through her paces, and designed a Power Projection scenario based on an incident that occurred in a game of GDW's Imperium, with a dash of WWI African history. The scenario, set during the Interstellar Wars in the Traveller Universe, revolves around an Imperial Battleship, the Karunasborg.

Tempests in a Teapot: March 2014
http://tempestsinateapot.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tempests in a Teapot. Monday, March 3, 2014. Still More Forgotten Photos - Star Wars Fleet Action. Some of the chaps over at the Science Fiction and Fantasy Wargames Society were discussing Star Wars Fleet wargaming, so I decided to put my oar (or twin ion engines) in. These may well be my oldest photos yet - from 2001 - so I apologise for the quality. Once I get the chance, I'll take new photies and replace them here. Below, the two frigates are escorting a die-cast metal Imperial-class Star Destroyer a...

Tempests in a Teapot: GZG Grav APCs
http://tempestsinateapot.blogspot.com/2012/12/gzg-grav-apcs.html
Tempests in a Teapot. Monday, December 31, 2012. Finally, I've finished my. Grav APCs from GZG. These will form part of a TL 14 Lift Infantry unit - just which unit, I'm still giving some thought. The only modification I've made is to remove the GZG plasma gun, and replace it with the dash-mounted blaster from the Star Wars Micro Machine Gian Speeder. It looks more like what I imagine a medium plasma gun should look like. Ω. January 1, 2013 at 12:36 AM. January 1, 2013 at 7:32 AM. 5150 No Quarter AAR.

Tempests in a Teapot. Sunday, June 14, 2015. NJ Con - This IS Your Daddy's Miniature Convention. There are people who like large, noisy, sweaty, smelly conventions -. I am not one of them. And that's why I like NJ Con in Edison, NJ, where I've just spent two relaxing, enjoyable days. Plenty of parking, nice helpful staff, modest but interesting dealers room, and past time with good company. Nice convention site with room to grow. NJ Con Vendors Room - photo courtesy John R. That said, the success and ine...

Tempests in a Teapot. Sunday, July 12, 2015. What Have I Been Up To? Regular readers may have noticed another long absence, well, I'm back, and I'll share (guiltily) what I've been up to. There's been quite the gap in posts lately, and it's entirely my fault - we haven't been able to link up with my friday group, and I've only been to one Mid-Week Wargame Wampage since January. Not that I haven't been gaming - but, dirty secret, it's been. Character Screen - Note the Traveller reference name. In addition...
