As I like to point out with any wargame rules review that I do, I’m a moderately experienced wargamers who’s played two different games consistently and looked at a few more systems beyond that. What follows are just my opinions and things that I think might be interesting to you. I’m not going to comprehensively … Continue reading Pulp Alley Core Rules Second Edition Review
Since I’ve spent all week working on a single miniature and don’t have it done yet, I thought I’d share my thoughts on the Vanguard rulebook now that I’ve had a chance to read through it. I wanted to review the rulebook because there are few reviews out there on Vanguard and I want people … Continue reading Kings of War Vanguard Rulebook Review
Several months ago, I decided to finally branch out and try a new wargame as I was burnt out on MESBG as a solo painter and player because I was struggling to get many games in despite doing a lot of painting and making terrain. I chose Fallout Wasteland Warfare because it is solo-friendly, has … Continue reading Troubled Beginnings Fallout Wasteland Warfare Battle Report
Thanks in part to the encouragement of you all and a holiday weekend here in the US, I finally played my next scenario and this time it is the first one from An Unexpected Journey! I’ve been looking forward to playing this one for quite some time and while I fully admit that I haven’t … Continue reading Roast Mutton – Hobbit SBG – Battle Report
Before I jump into a hobby update, I wanted to let loyal readers know that I have created a page that contains a concise recommendation for scenarios I have played as well as any houserule suggestions I have. I know my battle reports are long and some people might rather know whether a scenario is … Continue reading High Ambitions and Hobby Struggles
With some time before I have enough minis and terrain ready for the next new scenario, I thought why not revisit a scenario I liked and wanted to play again with a different strategy and a new houserule to see if it was still fun? Fortunately, Rescue The Baggage proved to be quite exciting and … Continue reading Rescue The Baggage – Second Attempt – Battle Report
I’ve thought about writing this before because truthfully I’ve been a bit unfaithful to LOTRSBG/HobbitSBG/MESBG despite being madly in love with it in 2019. Once I started playing Escape From Goblin Town scenarios, I fell in love with the wargaming hobby and keep looking for other games I might play in addition to my adventures … Continue reading Does Your Hobbying Eye Ever Wander?
We have arrived at the end of the Escape From Goblin Town scenarios! It has been a fun journey thus far and the last scenario presents its fair share of new wrinkles. Perhaps most significantly for me, it gives me a chance to use my favorite Hobbit mini that I’ve painted! After the last battle … Continue reading Wizards in the Dark – Hobbit SBG Battle Report
With only two scenarios left to go, I was hoping the last ones from the Goblin Town box set close things out strongly. This scenario was another intriguing one since the good side is limited to just Gandalf and Bilbo and the goblins not only have their king but Grinnah as well. Did fewer models … Continue reading The Wizard and the Burglar – Hobbit SBG Battle Report
Another week, another battle report! It is kind of cliche for me to say this at this point but I was once again excited to play out this scenario and I was somewhat confident that it would be more fun the previous one. What makes Guard the Crossing exciting is that it is a bit … Continue reading Guard the Crossing – Hobbit SBG Battle Report
