First game of 26 Carnevale

A quick game of Carnevale today ,My grandkids bought me the new after party starter set so using the new rulebook we gamed wth the Rasharr 100pts Led by the flame that burns underwater against the Guild 75pts ,mainly a Pucinella group led by King for a Day with a Rialtto assasin and a Gondolier in support . A nice action packed gear The Flame that Burns soon took out the Gonolier but the Fire Breather and Brewer dealt her a lot of damage ,meanwhile Karcharos and 2 Agalupes gave the Guild a lot of trouble on the Bridge . The Guild managed to defend the bridge and building but taking a lot of Damage it was a close run thing .Alllfigures and building from TT Combat

Robin and his MerryMen

Trying to get through my lead mountain I thought I would use my Footsore Miniatures Robin Hood Figures , they are intended for their Barons War rule set but im going to use them for Pulp Alley league. The first photo has Robin ,Little John ,Marion ,Friar Tuck and Will Scarlet ,the second a gang of 6 `merry men Next up will Be the Sheriff and his band of ruffians .

The Troubles

A small project for 2026 will be a small to large scale skirmish game set during the "troubles " in Northern Ireland using 1St Corpos newish range of 28mm FiguresArmy Vehicles such as the Humber Pig will be from Battlefield 3D , civilin cars will be variuos Die Casts suitable for the period ,Building will probably be the Red Brick ready painted range from warbases . Purchased afew figures to test the water and they are really nice and paint up Nicely. Rules will be rogue Warrior for small scale and Combat patrol using the winter of discontent for a larger skirmish First up are some of the RUC figures these are armed with rifles , there is another pack in the range i donot have yet

Next are a set of undercover S.A.S or DET all carrying small SMG's or pistols

And the last lot are 10 I.R.A terrorists /Freedom fighters depending which side you are on ,wearing a mix of balaclavas or scarfs covering their faces they are mainly armed with assault rifles but 2 are ready to take on the armies vehicles with a molotov and a RPG launcher .

Stargate SG1 Anubis

Managed to get a few of the Anubis painted and Based ,enough for a Pulp Alley Game just need to work the Stats out , then the Stargate , Marines and more Anubis can hit the painting table

Star Gate SG1

Trying to cut back on my figure mounting started on the Star Gate figures I ahve , a huge box of figures ,scenaery and stuff from the film ,TV series and RPG all figures are by Papsikels . The first 4 completed are Jack ONeil , Daniel Jackson ,Samantha Carter and Teal'c

Maybe used for Pulp Alley or Rogue warrior .

The Wife and I

A couple of Figures for my Pulp Alley Horror game just need the bases finishing and a bit of matt cote ,figures are Pulp Figures by Bob Murch

Rogue Warrior 2 games

Got in 2 games of rogue warriors over a much deserved break from work . The first had 4 IDF warriors versus 8 Insurgent regular rating using the Asymmetric rules first brought in in the Tour of Duty supplement A very bloody meeting with the IDF taking out 7 of the Insurgents and rescuing the 2 hostages but at the cost of 2 of their team . The second game involved a 4 man team of Special Forces battl;ing a 4 man team of contractors ,again very bloody with the sole surviving SF trooper capturing the brief case with the secret palkns . Alwway great fun with these rules , assorted pics from both games , IDF are white Dragon figures all the others are amix of spectreresin figures from Etsy or Ebay

Pulp Alley -Summon the master

Recently bought Miniature Wargames Magazine which had a scenario for Pulp Alley written by Chris at Sally 4th Games who by the way is the stcokist for all Pulp Alley official products plus tons of other stuff as well . The Scenario was a great introduction to the game for the grand daughter as this adventure had the Scooby Do gang as the heroes and they had to solve the plot points to prevent the cultists summoning the Master . We palyed the game and although we had loads of fun those pesky kids failed misarably cards and dice roills went against us and the master was summoned to do what he does best and destroy the world . So Much fun was had we replayed it with a different starting point and a set of tactics which involved runnung across the board and to take what ever the horror deck gave us , this proved a better tactic we solved 3 of the 4 plot points and Daphne has a great scrap with the master while Scooby, shaggy and Velma took out 3 of the cultists and the dark priest ,sadlky the masters dice rolling skills were better and he again just stole the game . A few Pictures below from the two attempts , the gang are Hassle free , the van is a old die cast and the cultits and dark priest are Crooked dice the master is avery old Cthulu miniature . Cards are either the decks bought from Sally 4th or the free downloads for use with this scenario again from the Sally 4th web store .

Rogue Warrior : Ice Base Zero Campaign .

Eventually got round to playing Mission 2 Breach & Clear of the Campaign . This time my Royal Marines won by taking out 3 of Johns team a nice simple take out more than your opponent game , very enjoyable and we both decided drones are pretty naff or maybe its just our dice rolling that naff ,neither of us did any damage with the drones and both of us chose storm piercer drones and after numerous attempts and causing no damge we both rolled double 1's to cause permanant joams to take them out of action. Looking forward to the next mission
