AAR- Kings of War Campaign Night 3. Big Battle of Baddies.
Presenting notes and gallery for the third round of our Kings of War Campaign! This was actually one large game on an 8×4 table. Newcomer to KoW, Mattias joined us, leading a smaller force of “Kingdoms of Man” green-armored human mercenaries who seem to have fallen under the glamour of Michael’s Slaanesh. Facing them across ... Read more
AAR- First Try With Space Wierdos
[Karl and I recently (…um, -ish?) had the opportunity to try out a game of Space Weirdos. What follows is a brief (…um, -ISH???) AAR of how the game went. THE BACKGROUND In the years before the outbreak of galactic civil war, Tanjarax IV held a lot of promise- at least in the eyes of ... Read more
AAR- Kings of War Campaign Game 2
Last month we gathered for the second night of our Kings of War Campaign. There were 3 of us gathered so we settled on a 3-Way battle for control of a town that just happened to already be at one of the only places on our campaign map where our 3 factions could meet. What ... Read more
AAR: La Maisontaal, Now With 33% More Evil!
I like good scenarios. While I’ll happily sit down with friends and play a game using whatever sextet of standard setups a ruleset provides, in my heart I want more. After a few monthly games of KOW with the rulebook scenarios, a 3 player game necessitated something special. As luck would have it, I had ... Read more
AAR- The Imprudent Kidnappers: A Song of Blades and Heroes Battle Report

On the spot I made up scenario- The Imprudent Kidnappers -which I recommend briefly reading over to understand what follows ... Read more

The Tau miniatures (his new obsession), terrain, mat and table topper were all acquired from Josh recently. I’ve never tried to put together a 40k-style ruined city, but suddenly ... Read more
TMX 2022- Thoughts and a Mech Attack Gallery
This June 4th and 5th, my son and I attended the Tabletop Minions Expo (TMX) in Oshkosh WI. It’s a very small affair put on by Adam Loper, host of the Tabletop Minions show. Differing from most conventions, it’s arranged as a gathering without tournaments in which gamers can hang out and showcase and demo ... Read more
AAR- Mech Attack- Trying a BIG game!
Tim and I met for a game of Mech Attack last month. We decided to attempt our biggest game of Mech Attack yet. Three 60 point sections on each side. As in the past for 10mm Mech Attack we used our collection of rebased Mechwarrior Clix. I was on the south side with the Grey ... Read more
AAR- Song of Blades and Heroes With My Kids
Last month I took my first stab at miniature wargaming with both of my children as I introduced them to Song of Blades and Heroes (SBH). They’ve never played a miniatures game with each other that did not have a board. Heroquest is a ton of fun, but it’s a whole different experience when you ... Read more
AAR- Kings of War
A brief gallery of last month’s Kings of War Battle between my Chaos forces and Tim’s Barsoomians. I rarely get to bring out my entire Chaos army, so it was a real treat. Ised the Varangur list that has analogues for almost my entire collection. Khador Warjacks (run as trolls) and Battlemasters Chaos warriors facing ... Read more
