X Wing Inquisitor's TIE


The sprog bought one of these at Colours 2017 last weekend, so we're planning to give it a go tomorrow, while the rest of the family is off at a rugby tournament for the day. It looks like it will be a bit different from your standard TIE fighter but we'll have to wait and see what it can do. It's about time the rebel scum got a taste of the Imperial boot again, so I'm looking forward to a thrashing the teenager at his own game!

No Honor in Surrender


This print and play game by Lock n' Load was the Deal of the Day on Wargame Vault, so I have downloaded it to have a go at printing my own copy of the game, counters, maps, rules and all. It looks like a really good squad level system, not too complicated and hopefully suitable for a few games with the sprog, although it's also supposed to be ideal as a solo game. The components look very good and, if my home printer is up to the job, should be relatively easy to put together. I'll laminate the maps and will also mount the counters on card or even lasercut mdf squares, so it should be pretty robust once I've finished.

Table Air Combat: Fw-190D


I've just downloaded the 'Dora' for Table Air Combat which for some inexplicable reason I hadn't already got in the collection. It's a beast of a fighter with no fewer than five energy points to spend, so I'm looking forward to giving it a spin against the VVS, RAF or USAAF as soon as I can get the components printed and glued together. Horrido!
