Jozi's Tin Man: October 2014
http://jozistinman.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2014. 5 Parsecs from Home Campaign. Like many of us, I spend far too much time making terrain, painting figures I may never use, and reading rule-sets rather than actually playing. So, I decided I want to play a 5 Parsecs from Home campaign and see how the rules work. So let’s start with our cast… (click to enlarge). Mission: Find Someone (Who? Opposition will have player figures 1 less figure than the player. No stealth, daytime. So, padre, what can I do for you? One of the platoon ...

Jozi's Tin Man: Pre-Historicon, Game 2
http://jozistinman.blogspot.com/2015/08/pre-historicon-game-2.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Pre-Historicon, Game 2. Got a second game in with the nephew before we went on vacation before Historicon. This time, we played "Last Stand of the Zulus" from Nordic Weasel's Battle Pack #3. The basic scenario is a group of special forces types are holding on to a hill against pursuing forces while waiting for extraction. As you can see, I have a mix of SF troops, these are AT-43 troops versus Starship Troopers mobile infantry. The pursuers start to move in. A Few Blogs I like.

Jozi's Tin Man: June 2015
http://jozistinman.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. A quick 5Core SciFi Skirmish. Had a nice, quick game of 5Core skirmish with my wife's nephew again last weekend. Just a 30 minute game, was able to quickly set it up using my new Terrablox terrain, or actually, I let our nephew do it. He played Space Marines and I had some Orks. The game was fast and fun, you cannot ask for more than that from a set of rules! Meanwhile, we have been pretty busy around the house, but we are off to Historicon in 2 weeks!

Saturday, August 30, 2014. The Cult of the Old Ones - A company for In Her Majesty's Name. Here is the first in a sporadic series on the adventuring companies I use for In Her Majesty's Name. I have been doing Victorian Science Fiction for years, and really appreciate the rules ability for me to craft companies of my own. So without further ado. Click on photo to enlarge.
