The Warren Percy Affair -a Burrows and Badgers campaign book

Today I recieved the new Burrows and Badgers campaign book and rather nice it is too ,calling it a campaign book is a little unfair as it is much more .`the book itself is a 63 page card backed affair packed with wonderful art work and photos .There is a themed campaign with maps and scenario specific rules ,these new rules have guidlelines on how to use them in a normal  game as  well ,these rules cover such things as traps ,patrolling and worship .There are also rules for some of the "civilian types" made by oathsworn such as the baker shrew and Bar tender Hare plus rules for the Freelancers or beasts for hire and the Shrew Knight , a few new skills are thrown in as well .There is an up todate  FAQ and Errata section and a small teaser on forth coming projects .`for £8. its a bargain and you get the choice of getting a free PDF as well which will be useful for stats etc.10/10

The Cover Art is a taste of the beautiful interior

Mortal Gods

Being locked up or is it lock down has caused me to stray with the credit card and `I have purchased Mortal Gods from footsore Miniatures ,the game of skirmishing in ancient Greece. I took up their offer of the starter and the 2 expansions available at the moment and `I am really impressed .The core game includes cards dice ,rulers tokens and figures (plastic Vixtrex 28mm ) and a paperback  rule book . Actions are performed after drawing stones from a bag and each hero or companion(s) have aset number of actions they can perform ,each hero or companion as a card with all their details on ,you also get cards that cover gifts from the gods ,these are such things as the ability to move further or be more accurate with a bow .injury cards which may translate your heroes last wound into a injury rather than death and omen cards which may upset the state of your troops by having a flock of birds appear showing good or bad things may happen. Figures are based single if heroes or some troop typres can have single warriors or in formations for liht troops and hopolites the required movement trays and bases are supplied ,the hopolite movement trays can be put together to allow a phalanx to be formed .Combat is achieved by rolling dice that show success with swords or failure with shields and pegasus depict special actions or outcomes

The supplemenst are more of the same but for Sparta and Athens both with specific models ,this time a mix of vicrix plastic and footsore metal figues ,specific cards and more injury dice .

A really nice looking game and I cant wait to play it .

Solo Burrows and Badgers

Those nice people at Oathsworn have released free set of solo play rules to help us animal lovers game through the covid pandemic .Tried them out to day great fun and really simple to use ,the game ended a stalemate but only down to my dismal die rolls ,the opponent is doesnt die roll in the solo game so I was at a big disadvantage below are a few pics of the game

Baba Yaga and the visitor

Im a big fan of the John Wick movies and when spectre operations released a limited Edition figure I snatched one up but did nothing with it until last week when Spectre put up a set of rules for using him in their games .The Baba Yaga rules allow for gun fu ,bullit proof suit and all the other things the Dog Loving ,pencil toting hitman is known for , also finished the Limited Edition Visitor figure seeing as they have also published rules for him as well .
