Operation nimrod

Bought a set of 3 S.A.S in the kit made famous by the Iranian Embassy Siege , they came off the internet with no manufacturers detials and with no instructions they were sold as 1/16th scale which is about right . They went together very well and over all are quite nice one is knealing throwing a smoke canister/stun Grenade holding a MP3 one has a shotgun witha MP3 on his back and the other has quite a wierd rifle type weapon all have holstered pistols and MP3 magazines . Just need to put them into asuitable diorama setting.

SG 1

managed to get a few more figures for StarGate finished including the star gate its self ,although still got lots top do , will try to get some stats done for a Pulp Alley game using teh figures I have done so far still lots to do probably use Rogue Warrior once I have them all done .

Hellboy -The Dice Game

I got the Hellboy Dice Game as afreebie with the last Hellboy Kickstarter and never tried it until tonight . Its a simple little game but a lot of fun we managed 3 games in less than an hour ,it uses the same dice as the board game and comes with anumber of cards specifically made for the dice game . Players take it in turns to turn over a card ,most of which involve rolling dice to fight the monsters , once you ahve used all your dice pool or have taken 3 wounds then your turn is over first player to get 15 clues wins .The rules are one page and easily learnt Simple but fun

Robin Hood

Had a great solo game of Pulp Alley Robim Hood versus the Sherif of Nottingham . Robin Hoods League had Robin ,Marion, Little John ,Friar Tuck and Will Scarlett with a gang of 5 Archers the opposing League was The Sheriff with Guy of Gisbourne , Lord Essex ,Seth the Game keeper and a gang of 6 cross bow men . The game was set to last six turns and if it had lasted that number Robins Men would have easily won but cards extended the game to 8 turns allowing the Bad guys to make a last minute rally and almost steal a win but the merry men managed to pip them at the post walking away the victors . The figures are mainly Footsore but thye Crossbow men are Victrix all the buildings are Sarissa

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

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 .

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
