Okay... I am officially COMPLETELY
distracted from the Great War and Greeks…
I hope to get back to both later
this fall (or maybe winter...), but I recently picked up a copy of Force
on Force and I’m pretty damn
excited to try it out. I've been reading reports of games of Force on Force and Ambush Alley on a number of my favourite blogs for a while now and I finally broke down and picked up a copy. I’ve been giving it a read through this past week and it
seems to have all the elements I’ve kind of felt have been missing from Savage Worlds:
Modern Ops. Hopefully I’ll get to play it sometime this next week…
stay tuned for AARs!
I’ve also been on a massive
re-re-basing project – the 20mm modern stuff… I haven’t played Cold War Commander
in ages (which they are ostensibly based
for). While 28mm is my choice of scale for skirmishy games, I figured I have
LOADS of stuff in 20mm I could use for Force
on Force
If ever I get around to playing
Cold War Commander
again I’ll just have to use sabotted bases... or perhaps entirely rebuilt all
those forces in 6mm! Micro stuff is cheap - and it'd probably work better for that game anyway!
In the meantime, here’s some
stuff I’ve finished up recently.
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
Some armed civilians. All are from The
Assault Group’s assorted modern ranges.
A British sniper – also from The
Assault Group.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Probably more modern stuff…
Great looking figures; love the camo on the sniper. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteNice work. I really like the sniper. Looking forward to your thoughts on Bolt Action.
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys.
ReplyDeleteIt'll probably be a few weeks before I get to trying out Bolt Action. I'm pretty stoked about trying Force on Force first. I f I sit down and start reading through Bolt Action before playing Force on Force I'll probably start getting rules confused and never figure out either of them properly!?
Great looking stuff, Tim! 'Force on Force' gives a good game but just be aware of the reaction mechanism. Higher quality troops are just BRUTAL and have a good chance of reacting *before* lower dregs can even get a shot in - I need some more games under my belt but right now I feel like tweaking it... Otherwise I really like the combat mechanism and how casualties are handled. I look forward to hearing what you think.
