Frostgrave Rulebook
This year, Osprey Games had a surprising release of Frostgrave, a fantasy skirmish in a frozen city. The release of a wargaming rule set, is nothing new for Osprey, so why is this one so popular?
Fischkrieg Space Mat Starfield
Fischkrieg offers gaming mats for quite a while now, but updated their portfolio with new mats made from a material similar to a mousepad.
Evaluating Dystopian Wars
I wrote about evaluating my projects a few days ago, doing a SWOT-analysis, and would like to start with Dystopian Wars.
First off, what are the four characteristics that i am going to check with Dystopian Wars? They are emotion, probability, space and players. But before that, let's get everybody up to level about Dystopian Wars. It is a Victorian/pre-World War One Steampunk/Sci-Fi setting, set in an - you guessed right - dystopian world. In this case it is a mass combat ruleset, set around 1:1200 scale, which offers you gaming on the water, on the land and in the air.
German Wars – Part I
There is a little thing from the point of view of a wargamer from Germany, that I am a bit envy about the wargamers from other countries like England, France or Spain. It has something to do about nationality and the relation to their own countries history.
Freebooters Fate – El Grandulon
Freebooters Fate is big - and it is getting bigger. With El Grandulon the game reaches a new size and presents the first ogre miniature for the Pirate Skirmish.
Happy Hasslefree Halloween
It took a bit to arrive, due to their vacation there was a bit of a delay. But the wait was worth it.
They had a Halloween sale (20% off, so i saved more or less the VAT on the miniatures). I posted the order on 15th october, they shipped it on 3rd November and it arrived on the 10th. For the delay they added a nice goodie bag to the order.
Pinterest: Bearded Wargamers, Spanish Civil War and Modern Combat
Some of you may noticed the pinterest widget in the lower right corner of the blog. I started using pinterest to collect websites and images to different topics, and i thought it would be a nice addition to a blog roll, to gather and collect wargaming relevant content. I am not quite finished with the integration of pinterest, as the currently available widgets are not 100% capable of what i have in mind. But enough of that, i want to start of with 3 recommendations from my pinterest board.
Rubicon Opel Blitz
Part of the latest Rubicon Models releases is the SdKfz 305 or Opel Blitz 3-ton 4x2 Cargo Truck.
Advent Calendar / Christmas Stockings
It was a busy weekend, preparing december and some special content for Chaosbunker in the next 24 days, so get ready for a wargaming advent calendar!
Valuating projects and systems
To not drown in a sea of lead, plastic and resin, it is important to have an overview and bring some structure into your own hobby. Why bother the work and not just being lead by impulsive and joy buys? Well, for one, everything you buy without a proper reason, is part of a budget that is missing on another place and takes up mental and physicla space, that could be used by something else. For that i reason, i thought about some kind a SWOT Analysis for my project, that might be useful for one or the other for their own projects.
