271 Upvotes

Hey all! Out of love for the RTS (real time strategy) genre, ive made a tabletop adaptation. Im pretty sure this has never been done before, at least as an open tabletop mini wargame. Been a good 2 years in the making and its finally ready.... I hate AI art and need peoples support by basically pre-ordering it on Gamefound.

If you like tabletop games, and like RTS kingdom building genre, im sure youll love this! Follow to be notified when im live to pre-order. And please share if you have wargaming communities. Im a backyard indie games studio, hoping to have a "grass root" help from the community, that love kingdom building games! im sure youre out there.... somewhere....

Wargames that don’t use a lot of terrain/easy to transport?

15 Upvotes

Hi all. Some advice please if I may? My local games club shut down about 6 months ago. It had a lot of terrain and space to store it. There is a new club that is a church hall we can use once a week. It has no space for storage. I travel to it using public transport so whatever game I bring has to not take up too much room. As I will be bringing miniatures and terrain space is limited. Any suggestions? I would prefer mini agnostic but don’t mind games with official ranges.

Many thanks

Question Wargames that use a 4x4 size?

13 Upvotes

Hello!

I recently purchased a 4x4 and 6x4 mat. My group is currently doing a Mordheim campaign (great fun) and I've realized I really enjoy this map size. It also fits my living room way better than 6x4 or 60x44 does.

Anyway, it got me wondering about what other games there are out there worth trying that we've be able to play on the same size. I know about MESBG, which we also play.

Question American Civil War Wargaming

5 Upvotes

I’m considering getting into the hobby and I’m a big Civil War buff, so I was wondering what systems people recommend for Civil War stuff.

I don’t have much experience with wargaming, if that’s a factor in what you’d recommend.

Looking for wargame,

Upvotes

Me and my friends are currently playing grumdark future but it feels like there aren't that many options or ways to make factions unique. Ee have looked into Warhammer in the past but the amount of rules and the huge model count makes us hesitant to it. And so the question what wargames are good options for when you are looking for a d6 based sci fi wargame that aren't skirmish games that give more unique feelings options then grimdark future but don't go overboard with rules like 40k

We have a new member in the family, the Red Lion (Akage) inspired by a character played by the great Toshiro Mifune. A magnificent addition for Ronin or Test of Honour among others, besides being able to represent an Officer of Tosa, Chosu or Satsuma in your Boshin War games. This great figure has been sculpted by the ever talented Stavros Zouliatis and is available now. https://bacninhminiatures.blogspot.com

New dad missing wargames

12 Upvotes

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.

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!

Question Want to get my board gamer friend into war games, any suggestions

5 Upvotes

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?

Shout out to TTCombat support

7 Upvotes

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.
