This weekend we gave Return of the Tripods a try, a reworking of All Quiet on the Martian Front rule set. It was a fun game. There were a few changes to the rules, some good, some bad. However for the two players that did not know the old rules, it seemed to flow fairly well.
So, since I am going to play this game at our outreach public gaming session in a couple of weekends I thought it would be nice to refresh my memory about how it is played. I have played it at least once, maybe back in 2022, so it is a refresher not a complete learning of the rules.
This just in check out THIS link for an update in the business practice of Wargames Atlantic!
Just working on the set up for the next game. This one will be less of a free for all more structured, perhaps... I am looking over scenarios to see if I can modify one for the game. At this point not certain how many players will be attending and there might be late arrivals. I am thinking about an escalating game so that late arrivals can still participate.
Some of the action form the game last Saturday. Three players to start then we lost one and gained one. It was quite the chaotic game with lots of figure removal! The rules were quick enough to pick up, just need to remember those stoke rolls when activating vehicles...
So, GAAS is a variant, of sorts, of the Fist Full of Lead games Bigger Battles. There are minor changes in the rules from Bigger Battles and a real focus on the VSF aspect. I have set up a roughly 8' by just over 4' area and the game will see up to 6 different factions fighting it out.
So, our next campaign will be a globe trotting series of adventures! I have been inspired by the boardgame Fortune and Glory by Flying Frog. I am making use of their map and some of their cards and rules as the campaign rules, while the scenarios will of course be Pulp Alley.
The following list covers some of the changes, amendments that will be in place for the campaign.

So, we had our first Hobby Day of the new year, quite frankly the first hobby day in quite some time (maybe a few years?) We have another one scheduled for January 25th and hopefully we can have a few more over the rest of the year.
The idea is to have a good time talking and working on projects with each other, offering advice and/or supplies to help us further our gaming goals. I for one really needed the kick in the ass to get going on some projects! It can also be a lonely hobby so sharing some time together, even though we all worked on different projects, makes it a social activity, and more fun.
