The Forsaken Inn: May 2015
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2015. In Which I Chronicle My Descent into Miniature Madness. It was never my intent to become interested in the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. Or to accumulate the small snowdrift’s worth of plastic and metal figures awaiting painting on my worktable. I never had much interest in miniature wargaming, but I somehow fell victim to its allure—a fate a handful of hobbits would fully sympathize with. I recall the early days of Games Workshop, back when White Dwarf. Abbreviated “...

The Forsaken Inn: Battle Games in Middle-Earth Issue #2 Overview
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015/07/battle-games-in-middle-earth-issue-2.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. Battle Games in Middle-Earth. Continuing my mad scheme to work through the entire ninety-one issue run of Battle Games in Middle-Earth. Today we take a peek inside the second issue and see what was in store for the would-be SBG player in 2002. The answer is “The Last Alliance.”. For not shoving the Games Workshop website down the reader’s throat as the sole place to buy their modelling tools and materials. It’s far from a complicated bit of terrain or building, but it serves...

Monday, July 13, 2015. BGiME #2: Creating a Simple Ruin. Is the “Modelling Workshop” chapter of the magazine. Defend this crumbling corner of Arnor! The base of thin card warped when painted.

Small battles in a medium-sized state. Sunday, February 9, 2014. Mantic's Deadzone: Two battle reports. Recently my friend Jormungandr and I played a couple games of Mantic’s new Deadzone. This game was first available as a Kickstarter but is now out as a retail release. Not all the factions and models from the Kickstarter are out yet, so YMMV at the local hobby shop. Jormungandr sent along his comments to help me write up the game, so I will include them here. Thanks, man! Mission: Y Marks the Spot (Cap...

Little Wars VA: April 2014
http://littlewarsva.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Small battles in a medium-sized state. Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Sedition Wars Quarantine Campaign Scenario 1: The Flood. Yes, a dedicated game room at last! On turn 1 the Vanguard split into two groups, rushing to the life-support controls on the two outer tiles and setting up perimeter defenses on the two choke points. The Strain units appear on Tile 2 (center) and thus drew almost zero reflex attacks as they appeared (are placed) and attacked. Kara Black leads the defense of Tile 3 where a well-timed...

Little Wars VA: Dropzone Commander: Introductory Battle
http://littlewarsva.blogspot.com/2015/05/dropzone-commander-introductory-battle.html
Small battles in a medium-sized state. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Dropzone Commander: Introductory Battle. Last Saturday I tried out the Dropzone Commander (DZC) game system with some help from WWPD's own Scott from Outpost Zero. Scott graciously agreed to show me the game, using his extensive collection of scenery and figures in addition to my own small Post-Human Republic (PHR) army. We played an 800 point battle, which was a Skirmish level game in DZC terms. Zeus and Odin Heavy Walkers w/Neptune dropship.
