Here’s a short report of last night’s very genial game of Midgard Heroic Battles with long term playtesting chums Paul Scrivens-Smith and Paul Welsh. Following a fine dinner of tortellini (thank you PW), I was invited to play the (newly painted) Wood Elves against Scrivs’ Undead in the Forcing the Pass scenario from Chronicles ofContinue reading “Forcing the Pass – Midgard Heroic Battles Elves vs Undead”

A quiet Sunday afternoon was just the time to sort thatContinue reading “French & Indian Wars: First Try-Out of Osprey’s Rebels & Patriots”
Winged Beasties – Reaper Bones Temple Dragon & Bats
On a whim, I recently bought some Reaper Bones miniatures from Mighty Lancer Games. Reaper Bones minis, if you’re not familiar with them, are made from a semi-flexible plastic that feels similar to the Siocast used by Warlord Games and other companies. They have their limitations (human-sized models often have very flexible weapons; mould linesContinue reading “Winged Beasties – Reaper Bones Temple Dragon & Bats”
