Project Z - First Game

Got with one of the local guys here David last Sunday to give the game a whirl at the game store here in Port Richey off 54. Overall, the game played well, once we got the hang of the order and saw how the cards and such all work with one another David and I had a good grasp of the game ending only with 3 turns but the store was closing and was very gracious to give us some extra time.

David took the Survivors and I took the Biker Gang and played the first scenario. While the board was not 100% it was shaping up nicely I think and I could see where I need to go to develop it further now.

The game opened up with both of us moving about, then by turn 2, I was in control of my board side keeping the zombie population down and throwing the card out to snag one of David's me to join my gang also threw a boomerang into his plan despite shifting the loot over his way some and picking up some bonus survivors by playing the "come with me if you want to live card".

In the end, we estimated it was a draw (David may have been one point up on me), if I had one more round or two I would have been on the other loot counters and with the zombies starting to build up on David's side and my gang closing things would have been grim.

I am looking forward to future games and enjoying trying out some new combos to see how things will work.

Bolt Action Tournament at Paladin Games

May 14th, yea a week late posting but it has been a busy week. Chris and I did a road trip over to Paladin Games in Orlando and had a blast throwing some dice and blowing stuff up.

Chris brought his British commandos and I brought along a bizarre German list themed from the Last Levy them.

My first game was against the Soviets with Demolition. The game ended up as a draw as neither of us could gain the upper hand.

The table turn 1.

My second game was against John and his US army. The dice were with him in the end as he was able to take me towards the mid of the game during Top Secret. I was able to sack the unit with the objective but he was able to snag it and take it in for a win.

Advance!

Fire in the hole! 

The third game was a standard annihilation game with another loss against Bob.

Project Z - A new game begins!

About two weeks ago I got my copy of Project Z and dove right in. I wanted to give myself some time to read the rules, think about the models and start scrambling to get scenery done!

I plan to cover the game more, talk about the gangs I built up and look at the game as a whole and giving the game a whirl both solo and with friends.

A great find today!

On my hunt to find a snapping turtle for This is Not a Test, I haunted Toys'R'Us and found this gem that I snagged up that was marked clearance and the last one.

The box.

The truck loaded up with several of my cars.

A Strange Aeons fig next to the truck to show scale.

I have been wanting a semi truck of some type, so this car carrier fit the bill for something different to add to the table for games for Project Z and Supersystem. I admit I would love to find a scale bus but that won't happen. oh well, this was a mere $15 and my average price of $3-5 for cars from Dollar General and CVS this to me worked out to be a fair deal.

There are two more sets, one is a cool fire/rescue set that has a nice ladder truck, a fire engine, a police swat van, a police car and some other assorted items. The other set is a construction set, but some of the vehicles in the set are a tad out of scale, thus  not making it a value compared to the other set. I figure both will be purchased in the future.

Post Apoc Miniatures KS almost over! Get in on it if you have not!

Well, I was early in and not disappointed. Looking forward to these babies hitting my mail box. The only regret I have is not enough cash to keep pledging for more goodies. Oh well, I will pick up more on the back end when the backer kit hits....

They just added a cool series of mutants which is what I was hoping would crop up soon and at the prices they are at, I am good to go!

Join in and walk the Wasteland!

Kickstarter Watch! MadBob French Vehicles

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/454980184/french-vehicles-of-wwii-by-madbobminiatures-in-1-5

Well, I have been quiet for a few months. The long story short: Holidays, New Job, Vacation and Convention. So, time slipped by quickly these past few months.

So, taking a moment to talk about a Kickstarter by Mad Bob! A sponsor for Crucible V also! Thanks Bob! If you play French or want to play French in WW2 28mm gaming, well sign up and pledge away! Just French only? No, Germans also used captured French gear and heaped on top of that was several lesser nations that used many of the same vehicles.
