Tide of Iron


Tide of Iron
Continuing my solo wargaming, tried the beginner scenario again. Ended in a draw. The Americans couldn't knock out the last Tiger before round 4 ended. Picture is end of turn 2.

    Are you using some sort of solo rules, or just taking each side?

    Just taking each side.

    I'm going to do it. I'm going to get the Next Wave box.

    It's a self-contained wargame with fiddly bits, some customization, and models. It's what I want!

    I think if I like it I'm going to get the Stalingrad expansion.

    Yeah, this means I never have to get Flames of war or Bolt Action.

    Casey, Bring those tanks to Gencon. I will take them home and mail them back to you a couple weeks later.

    This looked like a game I would really enjoy, but I couldn't get either my hard core grognard friends or light wargaming people to give it a whirl. Thus, it sits in a box.

    I bought it during the Fantasy Flight Christmas sale for a huge discount, assuming I would always be playing it solo. Grognards should like it, it’s a hex and chit game that uses minis instead of chits.

    Loving these solo wargame posts man. Inspired me to set some solitaire stuff up again recently. I really think I prefer playing each side in historical wargames rather than games designed for solo.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Correction in comments, I'm still mad

Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
