This week was a very busy one both work and wargaming wise. The heck with the work stuff, here's the wargaming stuff. I managed to finish my Uncharted Seas Orc and Dwarf fleets as you can see in the picture to the left. Uncharted Seas is a simple fantasy naval game which I like playing as a diversion from 28mm Napoleonics. It's also a relatively inexpensive game to get into as you can get the rules and 2 starter fleets for under $100. The game plays quick and is a lot of fun. I'll post some more pictures of the "fleets" at the end of this post.
The war game table looks a bit cluttered as it's currently being used by my son's robotics team to build their robot for the FTC competition this year. I'm coaching them and its a lot of fun, but we loose the ability to play war games for 3-4 months each year while robot engineering is underway. Oh well, it's educational!
In addition to finishing up the fleets, my local wargaming club got together for a game with a Star Wars ground-attack theme. Kind of silly but at least there were no Ewoks! It was a set of house rules which played very nicely - think WWII in a galaxy far, far away. I played on the rebel side and was able to steal the imperial shuttle and win the game. I will say the scenery was top notch (sorry no pics) and it even featured a working mono-rail (complete with a Disney-tour sound track if you pushed a button on the top). The mono-rail brought in Darth Vader and some imperial reinforcements. It was a different, but a very fun game. I also learned that there is an inverse correlation between beer consumption (bass) and the humor of "may the force be with..." quips. Who knew?
On Saturday morning, I drove up to Gettysburg to attend the Fall-In show with a friend. We wandered around the show for a bit and bought a few things - I mostly got scenery pieces for 15mm WWII. The crowd was very light and the mood a bit subdued so it wasn't the best show.
