<br />
Anyway, I have been kicking around a lot of different rulesets lately, trying to find something I like. I have to say that Osprey's releases into wargaming have really scratched a lot of itches, especially in 6mm. Horizon Wars is a light, highly abstracted, game intended for 10mm figures or smaller. This is great for me because I just don't have a lot of time for gaming anymore so, as much as I'd like to get bogged down into the minutiae of firing different guns from each vehicle it just isn't really feasible at the moment. That and my youngest has picked up on it right away. Most importantly, it's giving me a reason to finally paint my 6mm figure stuff (after I clear a few other things out of my way).<br />
<br />
This game was a mirrored force engagement just to remind us how the game works. As I mentioned I've been reading a lot of other rules so they're starting to get jumbled in my head. Both sides had a Lt Infantry CHQ, 3x Lt Infantry, 2x Mobile Infantry, 1x Recon, and 1x Lt Artillery. I was using Dark Realm Miniatures Pax Arcadia figures for my Valiant Humans and Alexander used a mix of my DRM Andrayada, Khurasan Mechanoids, and a CAV Specter for the Robot Menace. I realized I didn't have any appropriate models for either side's light artillery so subbed the Pax Arcadia Thunderstrike artillery piece and the CAV Specter for the Robot Menace. Same for the robot's mobile infantry, so I tossed a couple of my 15mm Mechanoids on the table to represent those. I see some purchases in my future...<br />
<br />
Alexander used his command resources to give anti-grav movement to his mobile infantry and recon. I used mine to increase the Armor of my mobile infantry and Defense of my Recon.<br />

Alexander set up the terrain, and he deployed first<br />

<br />
The first turn was mostly just me double checking movement rules, the usual rush forward, some shots at long odds, and my use of the CHQ's ability to pass an action to another unit.<br />

<br />
The second turn saw Alexander's Recon element removed after my Mb Inf charged them. My Lt Inf took up positions in buildings. Alexander ran his Mb Inf in between the two towers in the center of the table. Some light damage passed around, but nothing major beyond the removal of the Recon element.<br />

<br />
Casualties began to mount in the third turn. I lost two stands of Lt. Infantry after some critical hits on Alexander's part. He lost both of his Mb Infantry, one to a critical hit, and the other after a prolonged bout of withering fire. By the end of this turn he had his CHQ, a stand of Lt Inf, and his Lt. Arty. I wasn't fairing much better, having lost a stand of Mb Inf to an assault that I initiated and another to continued fire from the arty. I had my CHQ, one stand of Lt Inf, Recon, and Lt. Arty.<br />

<br />
The fourth turn ended with Alexander having lost his CHQ and remaining stand of Lt. Inf, leaving him only his Lt. Arty. I lost my recon, and advanced my infantry to engage, the Lt Arty having suffered some major damage.<br />

At the beginning of the third round we instituted a rule that at the beginning of the turn if a D12 rolled higher than the total number of models left on the table then the game ends (it was getting late). There was a fifth turn, but nothing really changed. The roll ended the game before a sixth turn could be played and we tallied the Priority of the remaining units, he had two, I had four, giving me a rather Pyrrhic victory.

I have been busy with other areas of my life since the last post, though I have had a few games here and there. One of them being the registration of my company that will focus on laser cut models for 6, 10, and 15mm tabletops. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The real reason for the return though is that after much fiddling, I have completed assembling my first Regult battlepod from Palladium's Robotech RPG Tactics. Here are some pictures of it and with a Dictator 60 and a 28mm fig for giggles. <br>

HAD A BLAST!<br />
<br />
Got to see several people I known, but haven't seen, in years. Got some games in. Got some cool new stuff to play with. Got some info on the next version of CAV. (<a href="http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/54729-my-reapercon-14-cavso-evaluation/#entry869762" target="_blank">Hint: Not as bad as I thought, but I still don't like it.</a>)<br />
<br />
What I didn't get was a lot of pictures. Here's what I have so far:<br />

Bolt Action participation game. Another gentleman (off screen to the right) and I played the Americans. Some amazingly lucky die rolls in this game. First a Sherman and a bazooka team took out the StuG on our left in the first turn. In turn 3 we got an airstrike. I rolled up a tactical bomber (I think that's what it's called, I rolled a six to determine the aircraft type if anyone cares to assist) which obliterated that Tiger on our right. In retrospect, we shouldn't have put the AT gun where we did.</div>

I've known this fine man through message boards and Facebook for the past 10 years or so, finally got to meet him in person. We had a couple great games of Starmada:AE on Saturday (regular and SFU). Unfortunately we were having such a great time I forgot to take pictures of that. :(</div>

Had a few games since the last post, tried out some tweaks for CAV2, but mostly painted all but one of the remaining JR Miniatures 6mm sci-fi buildings. The Comm Center is the last one, and I'm waffling on what colors to use. The upside though is that they are ready for whenever Robotech shows up. I did however start working on a figure I was supposed to have painted several years ago for someone else. Several excuses later I'm finally getting around to it and plan to present at the con. Also working on a CAV2 conversion that was the result of a kitbash competition on Mil-Net ages ago. The winners got stats for the game. This one is a Kahn with Dictator 60 gauss cannons. So a fast heavy hitter with next to no armor. I figure they'll make great flankers to finish wounded units off. I also bought Zombie Dice. The kids love it.<br />

This is the first dragon I've ever painted. It will probably be the last dragon I'll ever paint. I made that comment on Facebook and was asked why. My response is that I didn't enjoy painting it as much as other types of models and it just plain sat around on my desk for too long. Part of that is my fault, but there was just so much going on with this model that it took forever. Granted, it has more than more dragon figures do, like a rider, complex armor plating dynamic posing, etc etc. I'm going to go back to my sci-fi figures for a while I think.<br />
<br />
The base is a wood award blank from Hobby Lobby that I stained with the stain I usually use for dipping my figures. Originally I was going to do a whole mountain top thing for the base, but now I've lost interest in that. The model isn't attached yet, and it may take me a while to figure out what I'm exactly going to do with this, so things may change later on.<br />
<br />
In unrelated news, I finally added pictures to the year end update. <a href="http://scsminimadness.blogspot.com/2014/01/2013-wrap-up.html" target="_blank">See them here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here's the pics of Kyra and Lavarath. One of these days I'll figure out how to photograph metallics without the glare.<br />

Well, what I had hoped to be The Year of Done turned into The Year of Minimal Hobby Activity. I didn't do lot of painting or gaming this year. The most played game was X-Wing due to the ease of set up and my childrens' interest in the setting. I received my copy of OGRE and love it and if it weren't for the fact that I expect to get my Robotech kickstarter box sometime in 2014 I would get some OGRE miniatures.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Painting total for the year is a paltry 22. Between getting ready to retire from active duty, starting the job, and a general downturn in playing time I just really haven't been motivated to paint anything. Here's what was finished:</div>

4 Orc Guards (Dreadball)<br />

3 GZG Gun Spider Robot Drone Thingies<br />
6 Goblin Jacks (Dreadball)</div>

Mostly 15mm this time around, no terrain. I'll post the consolidated picture later as I don't like the way the mobile app formats photos for posting.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
For 2014, who knows? I'm *this* close to being done with Kyra and Lavawrath and plan to finish them soon if only out of spite. Robotech, when it arrives, will hopefully spur some activity as I'll have an additional 100 figures to add to the To Do List. In the mean time I think I'll return to sci-fi figures. I've got some starships that need doing or maybe back to my pile of unassembled CAVs. Then of course there are the piles of 15mm figures...</div>

Wishing you all an enjoyable and prosperous new year!</div>

This variation of the Full Thrust rules combines the rules from the multiple Full Thrust books (<a href="http://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/index.php?_a=category&cat_id=130" target="_blank">available for free from Ground Zero Games</a>) and adds some new weapons. I had looked at Full Thrust a while back but having the rules spread across multiple books with later books modifying some of the basic mechanics put me off somewhat.<br />
<br />
What has been irking me about combat in S:AE was the iterative process for rolling each attack. Each attack with each similar weapon system requires a total of three die rolls with multiple dice. My issue isn't the number of dice rolled but the number rolls made. There is a roll to hit, a roll to overcome defenses, and a roll to determine damage allocation. This provides for a great amount of granularity for how different weapons behave allowing for the creation of one weapon that may be highly accurate with a high rate of fire but does not have much penetration or damage potential or another that has difficulty getting past defense but inflicts a great amount of damage on impact. It's actually one of the strengths of the design system within the game. The down side is that rolling a handfull of dice, sorting out which ones hit, rolling to see which ones penetrated then sorting those dice out, and then rolling for damage (sometimes with a multiplier) can begin to take time, especially with larger squadrons of larger ships mounting multiple weapon types. Individual weapons, engines, and shields/armor are potentially damaged from the first hit onwards. A battleship could potentially lose it's main gun in the first hit just as easily as a frigate.<br />
<br />
Combat in FT:XD is much smoother. There are a limited number of types of weapons and there is only one roll that is modified by the target's defenses. This reduces the game's ability to closely replicate how weapons from specific books/shows/movies (which let's face it, generally falls into Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and occasionally Babylon 5) behave but does simplify gameplay. Roll to hit, typically hits are counted on 4, 5, or 6 and apply damage (applying half of the damage to armor if present) to the hull boxes. Systems are rolled for critical damage at the end of each of three or four rows of hull boxes, depending on the construction options used for the ship. A battleship's main gun won't be a candidate to be destroyed until after it has sustained enough damage to destroy a typical frigate.<br />
<br />
I tried the sample scenario included with FT:XD using my GZG starship miniatures, this being the first time they were used for the game they were designed to be used with. The scenario is simple, each side has mirrored forces of two cruisers and three frigates. One side has to attempt to exit his ships off the opposite side of the table and are set up in a line abreast formation. The other side is to intercept and destroy the opposing player's force before he can get them off the table. This player deploys in two columns, one with the two cruisers and the other with the three frigate, in a corner on an approximately 60 degree bias from the table edge. My 9 year son Phillip played the interceptors and I played the blockade runners.<br />
<br />
We both quickly picked up the basics of the game. Phil had no problems writing preplotted movement orders after I told him he could use left and right instead of port and starboard for indicating turns. Combat was quite smooth as I expected, slowing down only for the first couple threshold checks until we got the hang of the mechanic. By the end of the game I had lost my frigates and one cruiser had been effectively disabled while Phil had lost a cruiser to a containment breach in his power core and a frigate to weight of fire. His remaining frigates were heavily damaged but his remaining cruiser was untouched. My cruisers did manage to exit the board though. We called it a tie since I exited the board but had lost three of my escorts in the process. The upside is that we both managed to avoid the usual first game high speed pass that most FT players seem to experience since momentum is conserved turn to turn.<br />
<br />
My impressions are that while I liked the faster combat I found that I prefer my starship games to be played on a hexmap for ease and speed. Turning and measuring, then turning and measuring again was a bit fiddly and moderately annoying with ships in close proximity and maintaining formation. So I'm left with something of a quandary. I like the combat resolution (though I have my doubts about adapting settings satisfactorily using the limited weapon options) but didn't like the movement mechanics with FT:XD. In S:AE I like movement on a hex (I use a modified movement mechanic rather than the one in the rules) and the differentiation between weapons but want a streamlined resolution mechanic. Majestic 12 changed the way combat works in their latest version, <a href="http://www.mj12games.com/starmada/mjg0130.html" target="_blank">Starmada Nova Edition</a>, but I'm not sold on it as it now uses a more complex defense mechanism though I suppose I ought to give a run using the <a href="http://www.mj12games.com/starmada/mjg0130demo.pdf" target="_blank">sample rules</a> in the interest of fair evaluation. I'm told <a href="http://steeldreadnoughtgames.jigsy.com/colonialbattlefleet" target="_blank">Colonial Battlefleet</a> may be what I'm looking for but don't really want to spend $15 + printer ink to find out it isn't what I want. I'm already invested with Starmada, both the base version as well as the licensed <a href="http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=ADB6101-R" target="_blank">Starfleet Universe version</a>, so will probably stick with it but the hunt continues. All this though has had me wondering if I still have the draft version of a starship game I had been working on about six years ago but never finished due to getting bogged down with figuring out how to assign point values.<br />

The kids took turns as the Mk III, though the youngest got a Mk II due to time constraints, and I played the defense. I lost the first two games due to some bad die rolls and not fully understanding just how difficult it is to damage an OGRE. The kids loved it and want to play again today. Thinking about a 2 on 2 game with everyone in a Mk III. I'll need to check the scenario book but I think there is one like that called Operation K or something like that. </p>

Unfortunately pictures don't convey the enormity of the contents. I had watched several unboxing videos and looked at several photos done by those that received theirs before I did and I still wasn't prepared for just how much was in the game. Enough babble, time for picture. Alons-y!<br />

Half tempted to take a couple sheets to work with me to get a start on punching them all out. Probably a sure recipe to lose one or two.<br />

That is the last time I retire from active duty, start a new job, and take two online college classes all at the same time! Things are slowing down somewhat at Casa del Crunch though so I am looking forward to making some progress in a few areas. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
First, I have managed to finish base coating Lavarath and started doing the same for Kyra. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Second, I have aquired a few more Imperial ships for X-Wing. Namely the bomber, interceptor, and Lambda shuttle. I think an A-Wing is next, maybe Slave 1.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Third, I actually got a game in. Evilmonkey came over and introduced me to Dust Tactics. May need to pick up a starter for that one...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
What do the next month or so hold? Finish Kyra & Lavarath, get more gaming in, take a closer look at doing a fan revision of CAV2, maybe take up Full Thrust: Cross Dimensions over Starmada (which means redoing a lot of stats), and when it arrives...punching out the 4 billion counters for OGRE.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>

I let them pick and they wanted to play with the 15mm figures, so FUBAR it was. They wanted to use the AT-43 walkers I've appropriated (and still need to repaint) for the Mekanoids, so I grabbed those and the handful of Grenadiers I have. I only have one vehicle for the UNSC, a grav tank, so I tweaked the spider drones to have some small laser anti-tank guns and gave myself a squad of 8 infantry and a support section with two LMGs.<br />
<br />
Here is the initial set up:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYw9E2TL-PIXx5s_Jr95vHLS0YOJZgQ817C0nWDiNsJCtNOMtTGojQT7V3z6VgDygwh_oSG_w-mT-yZ8yx50vF-zK2rTnyFiVUyxgFbs5yDM_Hgh2Tfh4YcmkdHU5C_EUjJdazAsNqT8/s1600/IMG_0154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYw9E2TL-PIXx5s_Jr95vHLS0YOJZgQ817C0nWDiNsJCtNOMtTGojQT7V3z6VgDygwh_oSG_w-mT-yZ8yx50vF-zK2rTnyFiVUyxgFbs5yDM_Hgh2Tfh4YcmkdHU5C_EUjJdazAsNqT8/s400/IMG_0154.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The scenario was that the Mekanoids were advancing on the flank of a larger battle. The UNSC had hastily gathered a reaction force to block the advance of the 'bots. The objective for both sides was to remove half of the opposing models, forcing them to retreat. The first turn involved some maneuvering and only one shot which had no effect. (In my mashed up version of FUBAR weapons can fire up to twice their listed range at 1/2 firepower dice.)<br />
<br />
End of 1st turn:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0bdUnrgJoLaERYHaMEJJLumhOTQrCRK6CNCrwv3rAeGq-cgccHkr_heuTpnw8asnXFX1kB1gRd7pRPEwnMbTgPeVI52NMOEvd3SBX1EqCds-cI0TRy3DjQ2l9fFlrucgyKjLg8b29-Y8/s1600/IMG_0156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0bdUnrgJoLaERYHaMEJJLumhOTQrCRK6CNCrwv3rAeGq-cgccHkr_heuTpnw8asnXFX1kB1gRd7pRPEwnMbTgPeVI52NMOEvd3SBX1EqCds-cI0TRy3DjQ2l9fFlrucgyKjLg8b29-Y8/s400/IMG_0156.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Turn 2 was more movement then Alexander opened up and destroyed my section of anti-tank drones before they could even get a chance to fire. The grav tank immobilized the rearmost of Alexander's walkers with a shot that threaded a needle between the buildings:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In turn 3 my grav tank got into position and eliminated Phil's walker in one mighty blow as well as taking out one of his grenadiers. Alexander tried in vain to take out the infantry on the bridge.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuz5z-3a4h47Lc00wKFvkX7UEqteRgxQe-BUTbSj6rUK0Dk32JcjeRXZpc-JlTcOM5EGVH3jYdL90Ko__5zA20rLsNzJ228VvkwxKekQsGiwNMLcu1Qw6fW-_6So0mRAE17eOPz6nOfAQ/s1600/IMG_0158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuz5z-3a4h47Lc00wKFvkX7UEqteRgxQe-BUTbSj6rUK0Dk32JcjeRXZpc-JlTcOM5EGVH3jYdL90Ko__5zA20rLsNzJ228VvkwxKekQsGiwNMLcu1Qw6fW-_6So0mRAE17eOPz6nOfAQ/s400/IMG_0158.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Turn 4: the grav tank turned to engage the walker threatening the infantry and takes out the flamethrower. The infantry throw grenades and immobilize the walker while the fire support team takes out two of Alexander's grenadiers.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Turn 5 and end game: The support team took out enough of the remaining grenadiers to force a retreat by the 'bots before they got a chance to engage.</div>

Some thoughts on the game:<br />
1) I still need some practice on balancing forces without a point system.<br />
2) I need to sit down and finish the point system I've written some notes about<br />
3) Either I'm not handling infantry armor saves correctly or I need to change the mechanic. That walker should have put a hurt on the infantry.<br />
4) The tank didn't get a scratch on it, though I think was due more to keeping terrain between it and the opposing vehicles, not a complete test of it's stats. In this game though it seemed maybe a bit overpowering.<br />
5) The next game will be over more open terrain so vehicles can strut their stuff.<br />
6) Mobility to use terrain to screen models is key.<br />

(For those that don't know, NMM is using regular paints to represent the reflective properties of metals with out using metallic paints. A subcategory is Sky-Earth NMM goes further by trying to show what is reflected in the metal) If you peruse my photos you can probably guess where I stand on the subject of NMM. I've never bothered to try it for a couple reasons. NMM forces the painter to commit to where the light source is, which is great for static displays and photography but not so much for anything else. If I were a staff painter for a company painting figures for catalog images, yeah, I'd be all over NMM because that's what it is good for. But mostly I'm painting pieces to be used in a game, so NMM doesn't work as well and the time investment is not ideal for large numbers of figures that will be handled frequently.<br />
<br />
Now, that isn't even what got me irritated. NMM has it's place. It does require a learned skill. Where I got irritated is when it was inferred that "If you can't paint NMM you ain't crap." Not an exact quote, but basically the summary of the opposing viewpoint. Then it devolved into an elevation of miniature painting into the realms of high art like the Renaissance masters. It's the snobbery that irritates me. Miniatures are designed to be game pieces. They are marketed to be game pieces. They are sold to be game pieces. Don't make yourself out to be a modern day Monet because you practiced and can do NMM. Given enough practice most can pick it up. But do not look down on another person's work because they did not use it, or some other pet technique. For the vast majority of the people who partake in this hobby, be it just the painting or both painting and gaming, it is for the creative release and escape from the rest of the world. There are enough douche-bags out there, we don't want to deal with them in realm of our hobbies. For someone to stand there and dictate what a miniature's paint job is or isn't based solely on the techniques involved is the height of pretentious self-involved ostentatious snobby douche-baggery. (yes, it's a word, I swear) To borrow a phrase from actor Tim Daly, be a little less douche.<br />
<br />
We're in this for the fun of it. If somebody shows their work and asks for feedback, focus on the basics unless they are attempting something more advanced. Be honest without being a dick. Offer encouragement without being overly sweet about it. But for crying out loud, don't tell them that it is worthless because they didn't use your favorite technique.Sergeant Crunchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18037653763946181346noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511931616282842533.post-51359991805606782962013-08-05T21:13:00.001-05:002013-08-05T21:16:19.037-05:00Kyra and Lavarath WIP part 2<div dir="ltr">

(Well, Kind Of)As mentioned in my last post I was preparing to retire from the U.S. Army. Well, now it's done. Signed out of my unit this morning and began my terminal leave, using up the vacation time I had saved. Not only that, but today's my birthday! (Isn't it nice when things work out like that?) So happy birthday to me! Retirement from the military is something of a misnomer though. Unless you manage to stay in for the maximum 30 years it isn't really feasible to live off of just the retirement pay...at least until the house is paid for and the kids are out of the house. I'll be picking up a job in the near future but in the meantime I plan to get some painting and gaming done before the kids go back to school (after I recover from the festivities planned for today).Sergeant Crunchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18037653763946181346noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511931616282842533.post-17651972051080129642013-07-24T09:33:00.001-05:002013-07-24T09:33:58.239-05:00Phew!Man have things been busy. Who knew retiring from the military was such a time consuming exercise. Between coordinating transportation for visiting family, attending ceremonies, clearing the installation, and planning the party there hasn't been a lot of time for painting this month. :(<br />
<br />
On the up side, after this weekend I'll have plenty of time to paint and play depending on how long it takes to get a J-O-B.Sergeant Crunchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18037653763946181346noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511931616282842533.post-89611999093435705352013-07-06T22:02:00.001-05:002013-07-06T23:06:25.319-05:00Dreadball Beauty Shot<div dir="ltr">

Here's a quick snap of the gobbos. Once the boys and I finish the FUBAR game we're halfway through I'll clear the table and take group shot with everything together for the game.</div>
