In a surprise release, Warlord Games has announced a new two-player Bolt Action Starter Set and unlike the previous two-player boxes, this one is for the Pacific. It’s been several years since the launch of Bolt Action Second Edition and the Band of Brothers Starter.

Ranks and flanks – we back baby!

Let’s dive right in with my first impressions of CMON’s A Song of Ice & Fire Tabletop Miniatures Game. After two games I’ve got a good feeling about ASOIF: TMG. Leading up the game’s release, the hype was real. I have not been this excited for game in a long time. I am thrilled to report… Read More Ranks and flanks – we back baby!

SeaFall – Two games in…

Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower first impressions

So the other week Andrew and I broke out Silver Tower upon it’s release. We had each bought our own sets, so to speed things up I built heroes from mine and he worked on the Tzeentch guys from his (and then I helped, since there’s a lot more of the Tzeentch than there are… Read More Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower first impressions

Just finished a massive 2v2, 2600pt Tank War game on a 10x5' table! We were all surprised by the low number of kills but had a blast the whole time!
Total and complete chaos around the objective today versus Matthew's Indian/Gurkha Platoon.
