Last night I had the opportunity to help Ernie (Architects of War) play test his new set of ACW skirmish rules titles American "Uncivil War". Our game featured a Union foraging party whose mission was to gather up some supplies and get of the board. Opposing them were a rag-tag assortment of Confederate troops and civilians and a lot civilian characters. One tip -when you play the game in the future don't trust those rebel women - they're dangerous!
The game was a lot of fun and we tweaked the rules a bit.
I didn't take any pictures, but during the game I got to see some of the new ACW miniatures Ernie's coming out with as well as some breath-taking new buildings - there are a lot of great new stuff coming out for AofW!
Ernie put up a post about the game on his blog, where you can see pictures of some of the miniatures and buildings he's producing.
I also got to see the 28mm "bombed" house model, which I'm definitely buying. It looks fantastic for the world wars or even a Sci-Fi /post apocalypse setting.
As for my own modeling efforts, I've primed and started to paint some Romans. I'll put up a post when they look half decent. Right now I'm testing colors and level of detail.
This blog will will contain my rather pedantic ramblings on my experiences within the miniature war gaming hobby. There will be informative how-to’s, thrilling battle reports and thought provoking editorials. I fully expect that history will one day view the contents of this blog on par with Homer’s Illiad or Newton’s Principalia. Or it's a complete waste of time.
