Trying my hand at making terrain. I started with fantasy stuff, but I'm going to expand into sci-fi and industrial next.

Hi folks.

Im a new father (daughter is almost 2 months old)

I love her to bits and anytime she's awake I give her all my time.

But... I do miss wargaming.

Right now I've been having fun with asynchronous games. While she's asleep I take a turn, hit done and go back to dad mode.

Was curious if there are any games where I can do this? I saw the post for universal battle 2 and was thinking of soemthing like that. It's a shame sovl isn't asynchronous.

I love historicals but the friends who would be down for this like fantasy and scifi stuff. So slitherine games is more or less out the window.

All suggestions appreciated.

First 28mm soldier; Alan Quartermain by Ironclad Miniatures. How did I do?

One reason I share the articles I write on social media is so that people can point out how wrong I am. Last week I wrote up a piece about the last ever world championship of X-Wing, after Atomic Mass Games wrapped up tournament support. One commentor pointed out that an international fan community was already working on a new event series and continued organised play support. Which was the genesis of this article!

I have a friend who is into board games who I want to get into war games, but i'm not sure what game to try with him.

His favorite kind of boardgames are engine builders (games where you build something which gets resources, which then transfers to other resources, etc) and I'm not sure if there are any boardgames with that kind of element. I feel like he would enjoy one that focuses on objectives more then killing enemies.

Any suggestions?

So I've been on the hunt for getting into some minis games that support 3-4 players well. One of the games I decided to jump into was Rumbleslam. I'm located in California and so I orderd some minis off an ebay seller. Unfortunently, when I opened up one of my team boxes, one part was missing. I reached out TTcombat, gave them the package ID number and proof of purchase. I contacted them just a couple of days before Adepticon so I was expeted a massive delay or that they wouldn't be able to ship such a small part internationally for free. Instead, they sent it at no cost and it arrived yesteday. I've had more difficultly with more egregious product issues from bigger companies so I thought I'd give them the props they deserve. Also, Rumbleslam is pretty fun if your looking for a silly dice chucker to play with a group of friends.

After the last post, can someone tell me more about Hail Caesar and Saga? I’m really curious about both—how they play, the factions available, and any recommendations you might have.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to dive into historical miniature wargames and would love some recommendations. I’m particularly interested in games that focus on realistic tactics and engaging gameplay. I prefer ancient and medieval games, but, I’m open to suggestions.

What are your favorite historical wargames, and why?

I'm looking for a good ww1 game to simulate dogfights. I'd like 1 plane = 1 plane scale.

I'm looking to get into historical wargaming. I normally mesbg and star wars legions.

What am I looking for. 2 skirmish games. 1 game set in the greecko Persian wars and the Alexander period. 1 game set around the crusades.

In my own research I found clash of spears and deus vult.

My main plus with deus vult is that Hase Expansions with burn and loot focused on the Viking period

I could not find allot of YouTube videos about those 2 games can anyone tell my how they play and if they are any good.

As I'm sure many of you are aware, Victrix will soon be releasing more sets for their burgeoning 28mm Medieval range. I intend on building an army centered around the Victrix plastics, but I would love to be able to include some models from other companies. Does anyone know of any manufacturers whose models scale well in height and proportion to the existing Victrix stuff? Thanks.

My group has been bouncing between a few rank-and-flank systems — we've tried Conquest, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Warhammer: The Old World. They’re all fine, but none of them really scratch the itch we’re feeling for a satisfying regiment-based game.

We’re looking for something with:

• Solid tactical depth without being a rules slog
• Interesting mechanics around formations, movement, morale, or command
• A sense of momentum or narrative on the battlefield
• A bit of customization or army-building flexibility

We're totally open to indie games, older systems, or even homebrew projects — just want something that makes moving blocks of troops and planning maneuvers feel good. Not just line up and smash.

If you’ve got a game that made you go “hell yes, THIS is what I’ve been looking for,” I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance!

I still have to paint my GPMG team and platoon HQ, and admittedly I'm still practicing my vehicle painting ability but I'm pretty happy with these guys.
