pop Z

Managed another game of population Z Using the Charecters from George Romeros original Dawn of the Dead trying to salvage any useful items from the abandoned vehicles and the petrol station evry thing seemed staright forward until the first roll of the Die , evrything that could go wrong did which provided lots of laughs as the 4 heroes soon became 3 and ended up surrounded half way up the board ,maybe abetter plan is required .

Desert Heroes -Vehicles in Rorgue Warriors

The latest Supplement for Rogue Warriors brings vehicles into the game but keeping in the small scale skirmish style of the other books . As with the other books this has superb artwork is clearly written and brings alot to the game . At 52 pages its packed with rulkes , cards and tokens etc and 6 scenarios or Missions these are all set during ww2 with the SAS v Afrika Korps but the example vehicle cards and rules allow modern style vehicles to be used included Helicopters and light aircraft . A must have in this series and worth it just for the cover art

The Borders pt3 - Holy Island ,Laurieston and Jedburgh

Travelling across the causeway to Holy Island I could only think of the woman in Black but the journey was well worth it loads of Viking era history and lovely scenary , Laurieston was aquick stop to look at the memotrial to John Macaleese and then onto Jedburgh to visit the old Goal but again Jedburgh is steeped in Scottish history well worth a visit
