As the title says, this is a 'quick' (albeit a long one) battle report on the Danger Close ruleset from Empress Miniatures as well as some initial thoughts on how they work and impressions. I played the game a few days ago and have had a chance to also collect a few other thoughts on the whole thing...so here goes:</div><div><br /></div><div>First, the ruleset comes in super light at only 4 pages...and if you're not using any vehicles or large assets it is literally 2 pages. The made thumbing of pages trying to look things up is not really a factor in this game; at the same time, there are a few small gaps in concepts or defined terms - personally I was really good with that, it gave me a chance to be creative or go with what jumped to mind. </div><div><br /></div><div>Second, the game is a straight up d-20 affair, and relies heavily on calculated dice mod's +/- to applicable rolls. </div><div><br /></div><div>Third, in terms of who's who, the game breaks that down to a quick stat line per figure - with the most important stat being what is the Skills & Drills for that individual figure. YUP, these are for individual figures or characters if you want to do a narrative campaign thing. This made it pretty easy as S&D's drive everything in the game (number of actions you can take, modifiers, and who goes first), but also keeps the figure count relatively low...lots of metal/resin/plastic to control, so the suggestion from Empress is 20 figs or less.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fourth, it does help to have some knowledge of military/combatant organization or load-out; but conversely, don't let that stop you. Have some belligerents in mind and kit them out accordingly - so you could have some creative license.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bottom Line: I liked it...it was a lot of figs to manage for a first go, I made some mistakes, had to ad-lib a little, but really liked the flow and how it went. I hadn't looked at the ruleset in sometime, dove right in and had a 17 figure game in about 2.5 hours.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Setup</b>:</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't think far enough ahead to have any set objective...so that kinda developed as I rolled along. The terrain was extremely rudimentary as I also wanted to see how forms scaled with the figures and overall look and mechanics. So this was also a terrain build planning exercise.</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Basic objective</u>: Regular force (tier1/2 operators) converge on insurgent/militant/criminal safehouse. In this instance it was a sweep and clear operation or similar.</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Good guys</u>: Operators, broken into 2 loose teams; Team #1 was 3 pers, with silenced weapons; Team #2 ended up having the SOF Commander and 3 operators without silenced weapons. As these were SAS, SEALS, or JTF'ers they had 4 and 5 for S&D's (5 is the max). So this crew is built for speed and action.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhksnhRu8SGKK3pVquCFDo9HGlSR-LnB37j2aGVFKTkQZIvP_6AjwrA_Lz6zhemNLWITVa5GdD8A3Y9b5L0KZ6LZS5HnN8ey9gzhN5DqlQnI6cNSZWTFVwbQl5Jeg_SugudgZDz8fIjXv14R9F9gpih3kVwlLd1hgc1i4KYeLw4aUtb27u-1Rv5TAoz6VE/s2702/IMG_1505.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1432" data-original-width="2702" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhksnhRu8SGKK3pVquCFDo9HGlSR-LnB37j2aGVFKTkQZIvP_6AjwrA_Lz6zhemNLWITVa5GdD8A3Y9b5L0KZ6LZS5HnN8ey9gzhN5DqlQnI6cNSZWTFVwbQl5Jeg_SugudgZDz8fIjXv14R9F9gpih3kVwlLd1hgc1i4KYeLw4aUtb27u-1Rv5TAoz6VE/w400-h213/IMG_1505.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">From left to right: Boomer (5 points, M4 w/grenade launcher - team #2), Slick Pete (5 pts, M4 and silenced pistol - team #1), Face (5 pts, SOF Cmd, M4); Thud (4 pts, silenced M4), Swing Joe (4 pts, M4, pistol and tomahawk), Thump (4 pts, M4 and shotgun), and Fabio (4 pts, FN Minimi SAW).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u>Bad guys</u>: The Milli Vanilli crew, mix of S&D's from 1 to 4, variety of kit but predominantly AK's, no body armour; 10 figures total, not grouped into teams but a variety of functions and placements on the map.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio68SAiCdNGAGrNCjxasubHmL_PCT9OblJ1h7vzj7V5BPQqKoqZeVxBw7q4eBfcM8SENRcN60aKftHbRVrtciIJ-JwRRBAh543L5INzRJiGf09KoiJbQnJQYXCiIqJ5-csx_4BNTNePrJfG-CqJcANMs5Q3fu3vgUuYiHb4Kg_yKUZWiQhElsEKyQ97CM/s3096/IMG_1507.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="3096" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio68SAiCdNGAGrNCjxasubHmL_PCT9OblJ1h7vzj7V5BPQqKoqZeVxBw7q4eBfcM8SENRcN60aKftHbRVrtciIJ-JwRRBAh543L5INzRJiGf09KoiJbQnJQYXCiIqJ5-csx_4BNTNePrJfG-CqJcANMs5Q3fu3vgUuYiHb4Kg_yKUZWiQhElsEKyQ97CM/w400-h161/IMG_1507.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">From left to right: Map Jerry (3 points, AK w/grenade launcher), Captain K (the bossman, 4 pts, SMG), 1-Eye Will (3 pts, AK), Walkin' Pete (2 points, Dragunov), Tower Tom (kneeling, 2 pts, AK), Carl (2 pts, AK), Mobile Mike (cell phone, 2 pts, AK), Helmet Hal (1 pt, RPD), Mark (1 pt, Dragunov), and Beret Boris (wearing a...beret...1 pt, RPD).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The table:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As marked on the pic, the compund/safehouse is 3 buildings with 1 guard tower.

For Tower Tom that kept him looking in the wrong direction for almost the entire game...so not a lot of use having Tom on watch.

This worked relatively well for the SOF dudes, and not so well for the Milli Vanilli's, they only had 1 successful spot. If equipped with radios, then you could make a roll to pass on any successful spot to the rest of the team...this ended up working well.

Unfortunately Mike was unavailable, so it would be only two teams of heroes and villains. We took the opportunity to go with a "full meal deal" of MCP, and that included all objectives and special markers (can't remember what they're called in game).</div><div><br /></div><div>So we selected the mission type, the general table layout, and then objectives...in this case we pulled the mission 'Spider infected civilians', whom we dubbed spider-babies immediately and forever after. As well there were 3 portals on the table...I wish I had remembered that they were portals then, but, such is gaming life.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, that leaves us with game setup of 5 x spider-babies to rescue, and 3 x portals/rifts to take control of. In the case of the babies, they could move the character holding them distance S if the right (or wrong, depending on your perspective) roll was made. And the portals had a nifty feature that left any characters with the 'incinerate' condition if they were within distance 1. Oh, and our threat level on the card was 17 or 19, but given that I had not brought enough, we went with max value for the figs I had...so our threat value was 14.</div><div><br /></div><div>Team setup: Duncan had the Soviet Avengers...Winter League, Red Guards...maybe Winter Guard...I honestly can't remember. I just googled it, they're the Winter Guard. He had Soviet Ironman (gawd I gotta google this...)...</div><div><br /></div><div>...okay, he had Crimson Dynamo, Darkstar, Ursa Major (big ole bear), and the Red Guardian...I was calling him Captain Russia and Soviet Captain America in the game...my comic-fu is a little lacking here. Anywho, to counter this red horde, the Guardians of the Galaxy...Peter Quill, Rocket, Groot, Gamora, and Nebula - all of them are worth 3 points each except for Nebula who is a cool 2 points.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>**So we googled while we were playing...Duncan had just bought the new core box, I had the original set...and we saw that there were a varied number of tweaks to abilities and point values between releases, so we're just going to pretend that I'm on the up n up**</i><br /><div><br /></div><div>Anywho, the Guardians of the Galaxy...</div><div><br /></div><div>We even broke out Tactics Cards for this as well...admittedly the only cards I recall are the 2 specifically related to Rocket and Groot...I do remember that StarLord had a narly leadership skill which could be doled out to 1 Guardian per turn that allowed up to 3 re-rolls of defensive or attacks dice...at anytime...so kinda handy</div><div><br /></div><div>In the interest of being fully transparent, as soon as the game was over, I started forgetting details...FAASTT...so this is much less a report and play by play, than random rememberings and thoughts on the game.</div><div><br /></div><div>Duncan did beat me to the punch and his report is <a href="https://intermittentre.blogspot.com/2024/01/marvel-crisis-protocol-winter-guardians.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, here we go...gametime...hope you enjoy the pics!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Table setup, Winter Guard at top of frame, Guardians de Galaxy on the bottom.

Depending on where you are in Canada right now you are potentially feeling some -40 to -50 Celsius weather, and in some areas that very rarely get any subzero temps…so stay warm Canada.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, with the dawning of the new year, I guess its time for the mandatory review and some forward thought…last year, my plan was fairly straight forward (I think): paint up more figures, focus on 15mm, get some more gaming in, try some new games, and work through the pile of lead (shame). By year’s end, I was sitting around 133 x 15mm figs painted (vehicle and troops) and 62 x 28mm figs…not my best output, and certainly not my worst output. I worked through a bunch of moderns and Team Yankee figs and I was happy that I started to get into some old starter/expansion boxes that I had laying about.</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn’t game as much as I wanted to, but I was really happy that I got to give Marvel Crisis Protocol a shot and really enjoyed the game and mechanics. It was pretty cool, finally seeing some figs on the table. </div><div><br /></div><div>I had intended on working towards some set projects, but admittedly, I just couldn’t muster the focus. I put plenty of thought towards Afropia, but most of it stayed in the brain pan…although, I did work through some 15mm Team Yankee Red Dawn Insurgents/Militia that will fit in nicely. Funny enough, in the last week before end-year, I ended up looking through some of my terrain collection, put some thoughts towards potential actions, and am thinking that I may need to do a re-think and sync on the project.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, that leads into the soothsaying and what will the next year hold. Painting more is an ongoing objective, I have plenty in the pile to work through, and some great looking MCP characters to bring to life. So that will continue to be a thing. With the release of NATO Forces, I have some Canadian Airborne Regiment and Special Service Force troops to put together for a continental Canada force. I had started a Cold War scenario some time ago, so I will continue developing that. I have been painting up a good amount of moderns over the last 2 years, so I would like to see them get to the table.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think I will try to focus my efforts around the following projects and see how it goes:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Work on a proper Red/Northern Dawn scenario, ideally 2 of them, and that includes the terrain to get it to the table. So, I would like to work through the VDV starter box, and fill out my Cdn Abn Regt;</div><div>2. Work on a 15mm scenario inspired by some of the Bush War actions, I think this will be a good kickstart for me to push som progress on the greater Afropia idea - and really work on some of the wider mechanics and construct of that verse; </div><div>3. I’d like to get some moderns to the table, so thinking of either Danger Close, Spectre Ops, or Force on Force, but moreso a limited small action scenario; and</div><div>4. Continue with MCP…and get my Hoth force for Star Wars Legion moving.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think that covers enough variance over genre…and approaches more of the lead pile. So, we’ll see how we go over the next few months and start getting onto the verse’s.</div><div><br /></div><div>Take care folks.</div><div><br /></div>Stan M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00560295989788635637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389485864247023780.post-62860414155480212582024-01-12T23:35:00.000-05:002024-01-12T23:35:02.248-05:00A New Year & A New Decade<div style="text-align: left;">Howdy folks,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I hope all is well on your end of the WiFi…Happy New Year and all the best in the year to come!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This post marks a considerable milestone for this blog of mine, we are officially at 10 years of me droning on about my gaming woes, hopefully showing some progress on painting, and random thoughts on gaming and what I see in the community…as I still see myself as a novice to the hobby, I like to think there’s still a world to see out there, so much more to discover. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It’s been a heck of decade…and in that time I’ve published 327 posts + this one here…so 328.

I finally got some Great Escape Games figures off the workbench and put some paint to them and a few figures that I happened upon at my LGS, from Enemy Spotted Studios (ESS).</div><div><br /></div><div>The Great Escape Games figures were originally released as part of their Dead Man’s Hand game, and with the re-release, I’m sure they’ll figure in the game again…not to mention they’ll work with any other Old West game. It was good to finally get to these figures, I’ve had them for a number of years…and it made a great reason to watch a western or two - Young Guns and Hell on Wheels definitely had some good characters to be inspired by. Buckshot Roberts looks pretty much like Brian Keith’s character in Young Guns, and Common’s as Elam Ferguson in Hell on Wheels looks a near spitting image to the Ely Fergus, and the Preacher - well there are too many to list by name, but are some great examples on the Silver Screen.</div><div><br /></div><div>Enemy Spotted Studios is a company that is totally new to me. I discovered them online end-summer/early fall and their two lines In-Country (ultra modern) and Killwager (sci-fi). They are a US based company with physical and digital store offering on-demand physical models and STLs - what I particularly like about the company is that the figures have a very dynamic look and appeal, and the company’s business model is to support Veterans causes with a 10% portion being donated to Vet’s programs. As well, they offer their rulesets as free digital downloads on their website. I was pretty happy to see some inventory when I was at Red Dragon a while back, and a little disappointed when I dropped by a few weeks ago and saw that everything had been sold…a good problem to have for ESS, but a little disappointing nonetheless. Anywho, I bought their <a href="https://esspod.shop/products/inx-security-force?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=4e780b5c9&pr_rec_pid=8362003726644&pr_ref_pid=8362004611380&pr_seq=uniform" target="_blank">INX Security Team</a> blister, 4 unique figures each with a very dynamic pose. They were a lot of fun to paint up.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you all have a Happy New Year, all the best, and enjoy the pics.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I’m still catching up on my backlog of finished minis…almost there, and I thought that I would post some 15mm’s. These are from Battlefront (definitely my 15mm go-to), the Team Yankee and Red Dawn side of the house. The Abram’s come from the Hammerfall box (2 x M1 Abram’s and 3 x T64), the troops are the remainder of the Red Dawn insurgents that I started on earlier this year, and the lone UN ‘blue helmet’ is a leftover Canadian infantry model from the Team Yankee Canuck mech platoon pack.</div><div><br /></div><div>While I haven’t put a whole lot of thought towards it, I should have no problem fitting the Abram’s into an army list for Team Yankee or Red Dawn. I do have a USMC LAV company that could use some high powered support, and I have my 4CMBG crew that could also do with some more Allied support, not to mention this gives me some heavy metal for any Force Mobile Command list that I might put together for a Canadian homeland force.</div><div><br /></div><div>The insurgents should find a home in any Force on Force scenario, and in spite of my idleness with Afropia, they could fit in there. Certainly that is where I’m anticipating an appearance from the UN.</div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy the pics. </div><div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4VF1F8o4BSUG3RIaH3uGVbdPjGxLE-aLjQRZV5Rx8ReVCgDbAjR6t-b59ZFqm_gOIkbPQDdBFeqW_rbTqNmGhr8z-x9e67xw6v4vTDYnlNtezdyjtyFdMK4PlT4mrizkXciCG7-LkZBaw9DxarJ8ZMLTOXppeGCwTwc2jgqAcJfCr-9zcr-axGyw5WJs/s4032/IMG_1364.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

In between all of the celebrating, drama, and whatever else the season throws at us, I thought I'd try to gain some posting momentum and highlight some more figures that I've been able to work through.</div><div><br /></div><div>Continuing on an earlier post from Fall-ish, <a href="https://nerdlydarkness.blogspot.com/2023/09/painting-update-walking-dead.html" target="_blank">TWD Painting Update</a>, I have successfully finished the remaining pieces in the Mantic "Days Gone Bye" expansion for their original The Walking Dead game. The expansion was a lot of fun to FINALLY finish up and paint...and as I said before, it offers some figures that could find a home in a variety of genres. </div><div><br /></div><div>I guess Mantic is going to be re-releasing TWD in the future, I'll be curious to see if they tweak the game or if it a pure re-release.</div><div><br /></div><div>That being said, hope you enjoy the pics...this is a rather quick post.

Duncan had a host of villains on his side - Baron Zemo (master strategist), Doc Octopus (can’t remember his tagline), and the Rhino (steroid infused rage tank)…the heroes were on our side - Ironfist (pretty cool melee dude), Wong (great power giver), Luke Cage (an alleged power melee dude), and Ironman (can’t remember his shtick)…</div><div><br /></div><div>We had the idea of taking slow steps in the whole MCP verse, so we used one element of the overall scenario…I think in this case control some cases.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Table setup…car lot and construction site on the heroes side…sea can’s and coffee shops for the villains…3 cases in the middle ground.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I’m working on getting through more of the backlog as well as keep up momentum on the Red Dawn figures that I picked up earlier this year. I managed to work through a portion of the second pack of Battlefront’s Red Dawn US Militia as well as the extra’s I had remaining from my Soviet Motor Rifle Company figs. Again, keeping these in mind for other rule sets and Afropia, I based them for Force on Force more than anything else.</div><div><br /></div><div>I elected to go with a variety of base colours and textures…makes them fit in any FoF game set in Europe or Afghanistan (for the Sov’s) or Afropia. </div><div><br /></div><div>I do enjoy the figures, really like the Wolverines sculpts.

Over the summer, I tried to make an effort to get back to some figures that had been on the bench for quite some time, and Mantic TWD figures are some that have been waiting a while. Now it has been a while since I’ve gotten in a game of TWD, but I do have a few boxes of figs still waiting to be painted.</div><div><br /></div><div>The thing that I really like about these figs is that as I have continued to branch out and see other rulesets and game settings, it is handy to have a bunch of non-military or historical figures that can fit into several genres. So one of the side benefits of these figs is that I have this vision of doing a progressive campaign for Zona Alfa and these figs will work well as noobs to the Zone…so a bit more on that to follow in the medium term.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anywho, the figures themselves are solid…they paint up quite nicely and have some great expressions. Looking at the TWD graphic novels, they definitely follow the novel over the series. Not much else to say on these fellas except, hope you enjoy the pics.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPzNoYKQUkwejs8f8crcpYcrLggviGH51JcSOQ2nOwyMx0-rLRhjCsPJ2rpgUEXSlGT44LXmLQCfnYqqB8-F_g6AuyESVN8ts9P-0dcMsEoHe_2acNftEv6EgXIw8E8DaCrTjl2h_B1PzXTd67URx75a093VKBM1wUAo0_CVsV9vAfWp-4Hhezx0r-YZw/s4032/IMG_1057.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPzNoYKQUkwejs8f8crcpYcrLggviGH51JcSOQ2nOwyMx0-rLRhjCsPJ2rpgUEXSlGT44LXmLQCfnYqqB8-F_g6AuyESVN8ts9P-0dcMsEoHe_2acNftEv6EgXIw8E8DaCrTjl2h_B1PzXTd67URx75a093VKBM1wUAo0_CVsV9vAfWp-4Hhezx0r-YZw/w400-h300/IMG_1057.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The way I figure it, these figs will be great as introductory newbies to the zone, I have some nice plans for the gent with the long rifle and lens.

Seeing the invasion map and route through the Prairies as well as the map symbol with Canadian Mech Troops in Grizzly/Cougar was really cool to see. Having reread the posts and videos that I have seen so far, I'm even more pumped...now, I'm not going to say that I can see into the future, or have influenced Battlefront in their design...but I like to think that maybe someone has heard me or even read a few words that I've dumped into the internets.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">However, I did post that one of my pet-peeves was that Battlefront went with the short barrel 1970s M109 for the RCHA even though we were sporting the longs in the 80's... <a href="https://nerdlydarkness.blogspot.com/2020/08/thank-god-its-guns1-rcha-ubique.html" target="_blank">1 RCHA battery for 4 CMBG </a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And, I may have said that with the push Red's push into the Prairies and axis of advance going past Edmonton and into Calgary...along with the new Airborne Assault rules...that maybe this would be a good time for the Canadian Airborne Regiment to make an appearance... <a href="https://nerdlydarkness.blogspot.com/2022/12/red-dawn-north.html" target="_blank">Red Dawn North</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixBGOxYQLoV9bTQ49q4GlD3DLLPv9YLew4HB_2KBfUyF8HbXxxZIv_v3jo6kJInkSV8AUU8mHsvLHcjc42Y5omqPcGLVOAFFRT0hT11Bbx6dsW2bbnqkjndflZEUZ3YpEyC66S_UOkUTiAZpmwTaA9YMhv7sdxNPT6jlqewLQsgbpsKyYX03_Mds-FWK8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="140" data-original-width="522" height="86" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixBGOxYQLoV9bTQ49q4GlD3DLLPv9YLew4HB_2KBfUyF8HbXxxZIv_v3jo6kJInkSV8AUU8mHsvLHcjc42Y5omqPcGLVOAFFRT0hT11Bbx6dsW2bbnqkjndflZEUZ3YpEyC66S_UOkUTiAZpmwTaA9YMhv7sdxNPT6jlqewLQsgbpsKyYX03_Mds-FWK8" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So yeah, a lot to be pumped about...in Edmonton you had the Airborne jump school, 435 Squadron and their Tactical Airlift School, 1 Brigade Headquarters in Calgary, and a bunch of various Militia regiments along with the Regular force regiments that can make for some Force Mobile Command goodness.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm looking forward to the Cougars and Grizzlies, but gotta admit I'm really excited for the Iltis jeeps and TOW carriers...maybe odd, but I may have cheered when I saw them, lol.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We'll see what comes downline, the pre-order timing looks to be 21 October and there are a few pre-order deals offered for Direct Order from Battlefront. I just jumped on the book, cards, and objective deal which nets you an objective (and maybe 10 figs) for free...the deal is $35USD and the book and cards separately are $25 and $10 respectively...so...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There is also a Canadian Mech Infantry deal that comes with upgrades for 3xM113 to the new TUA carrier. All in all, its 2 x infantry platoons (with Carl G or Eryx), 2 x M113 transport boxes (for 10 x M113's), and 2 x M113 frames (for 2)...all coming in around $160 USD. If you do the math, I think you'll end up saving about $10-15 vice buying everything separately. Not an insane amount of savings for buying a 'starter' collection, but that gives you either a pizza or a few beers while you put all the models together.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anywho, looking forward to the breadcrumbs being thrown out over the next few weeks to see what is what. All in all, pretty happy to see what comes...hopefully the Canucks can get their own partisan/militia types as well (Cobras/Badgers/Bisons/Bears ?!?), there were definitely motivated folk who would've been happy to shoot at a Red or two.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Take care folks.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Stan M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00560295989788635637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389485864247023780.post-782319167165947302023-08-31T23:05:00.001-04:002023-09-01T09:26:02.955-04:00Yup, Afropia is still alive!!<div style="text-align: left;">Hey folks,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Just thought I’d drop a quick post…it’s been a pretty distracting and busy past month or so.

On top of that, I found another find and got some discount Flames of War, so yeah…getting a variety of troops and settings off the work bench.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyone that has been reading the posts for the past year or so may remember my imagi-nation, the region of Afropia. While I have not gamed anything for that yet, I have continued to run a lot of mechanics and variables for those little countries in my head, all the while keeping mindful of the force structure and framework that would be applicable. The recent militia pack released by Battlefront as part of Red Dawn was an excellent source for insurgenty type figures that had a different setting or theme. Admittedly thanks to the GWOT and recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan a lot of insurgent figures are themed around Middle East themes…thankfully with the militia pack, I can add some variety to my little angry forces. As such, I base a half dozen or so for Force on Force (because thanks to CanGames, I’m really itching to FoF again) and go from there. So you will see these figs have red and/or yellow markings on them to highlight that they are either support or leaders…or in the case of Pswayze, both.</div><div><br /></div><div>On top of that, my force structure for Petoriastan includes a large amount of WW2 era vehicles, so I was able to do up a box of M7 Priests that will work for any Canadian WW2 force that I want to field, as well as a post-WW2 Petoriastan artillery unit. So, win-win.</div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, I had bought a Soviet T-34 tank many years back to go with a WW2 Soviet force that I had in mind, so not only will that work for my Afropia setting (as either part of Alarus or Oponwana) as well as formation commander for a Soviet T34 Battalion. So again, win-win.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you enjoy the pics and will see you soon.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Insurgents for FoF or Danger Close ruleset…maybe even Spectre Operations…Pswayze rocking the leadership and the RPD…</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My posting-fu hasn't been up to the challenge as of late but here we are trying to get some momentum back. I have had the Ghost Rider on the workbench for quite some time...I really liked the pose, all the fire, and just the dynamics of the model. Admittedly I was a little more than intimidated with trying to meet expectations that I had built-up in my head, but also to do justice to the model...not to mention, the chain is such a finicky fragile element of the whole model.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anywho, I can happily say that I finished it...and I'm really happy with the outcome!! A chunk of the credit has to go to Sorastro and his excellent videos. I may not have followed his process through and through, but it was handy to have it as a reference that I could go back to throughout the paint work.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="373" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/axLK6oUow3I" width="486" youtube-src-id="axLK6oUow3I"></iframe></div><div><br /></div>The fire elements are a huge part of this model, you literally can't look at a single part of the model without seeing fire...except maybe the chain, and then its a great object source lighting component. So yeah, the fire was definitely a challenge and I really wanted to boost those to really make them popout at you when you first see the model; really I wanted them to be the focal point. If you follow Sorastro's video, I stayed pretty close to his technique and then went further with the boost using Vallejo's Ice Yellow and Off-White.<div><br /></div><div>This also pushed the boundaries of my comfort with OSL and how it would reflect over all surfaces, not to mention the subtle differences between the darkness of the bike frame and the black shades of the Rider's leathers. Again, all in all, I'm really happy with how it all turned out.</div><div><br /></div><div>The only issue that popped up for me was when I glued the back tire to the base. I had ensured that the two surfaces did not have paint on them so the bond could be solid, but I ended up having a chemical reaction that cause crystals when the paint spread out (I obviously used too much) along the sides of the tire. Luckily I was able to prime the crystals and paint them up as fiery bits, so that's why you'll see a lot of fire element on the base itself. It gave me good reason to push the fire elements ever further on the tires, showing the fire wrap around the tires and spill over to the ground.</div><div><br /></div><div>A good save I think, lol. I hope you enjoy the pics.<br /><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcZXHqpxW018-5EuiBCzHjHVeNsbEFs1bOKqwUBfz-d9Ev_xoXilrPw7VS6HdP0wqN6iztMSXPQBiDbsNOZxL60DRPHa88IzKCsIhSjvbqMuo4Mjp-hCsWL8MB3heToRK9OtyspU1c3j3cKW85rPYVr4xhOXpRySdKM9aoWMyay4ogtG3JKsdPLap_C7A/s4032/IMG_0808.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I thought that I would share a quick post with you to show off some quick terrain items that I completed way back a month or two...maybe even three. Nothing much too special with the pieces, I painted up some crates for pretty much any genre or setting. These were pretty simple, just some primer, white highlight (or skip to white prime), contrast paints, and then paint in the slats. I bought the 'boxes' from the Dollar Store or Dollorama...can't remember which, but a few bucks get you about 20 of these little darlings.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYlKVuMKW3zPOZOjddVL1W353s5vguFMrNHCoCqJkGBnl5D2-6ed0tNCE_pv40jfepIRJcmMzBZV8gh2l0fjknyjQMVa-DNR49ET9tGBLNYQ9uEfhiazj1Clv8HU6RyZKfGB64wmLZW3gs--t-22sovDtsoAiTLD4tKzPpMyovlHlxt_5DDaJrZRt7vHM/s2597/IMG_0496.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1455" data-original-width="2597" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYlKVuMKW3zPOZOjddVL1W353s5vguFMrNHCoCqJkGBnl5D2-6ed0tNCE_pv40jfepIRJcmMzBZV8gh2l0fjknyjQMVa-DNR49ET9tGBLNYQ9uEfhiazj1Clv8HU6RyZKfGB64wmLZW3gs--t-22sovDtsoAiTLD4tKzPpMyovlHlxt_5DDaJrZRt7vHM/w400-h224/IMG_0496.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These 3 pieces are courtesy of my buddy Duncan, his wonderful resin printer, and some STLs that he downloaded...it think they're from Modiphius...anywho, I went with some classic retro colour on the appliances as you can see if you have ever played Fallout 4.

Well, I have finally finished the last of that group of 20+ figures…and I gotta say, it feels good. </div><div><br /></div><div>The figures overall were a lot of un to paint up, I think I really pushed myself on the paint schemes…they were my first real crack at multi-cam, and I had never tried CADPAT at this scale. I also didn’t have a guide to go by, so I did my best to colour match…I just hope that I wrote it down somewhere, sigh. I did have a few challenges with the figures, and these were mostly at the assembly stage. I’ll chalk it up dodgy fingers and my classic glue them together strategy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, I noticed afterwards that I had made an error on assembly. The team leader comes with a tomahawk that looks like it is fitted to go on the back of his ruck…I missed this cause I was focused on the idea of having it hang off the hip for close access. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anywho, I have a few places where these figures will fit in nicely…so, looking forward to getting them on the table.</div><div><br /></div><div>Cheer…enjoy the pics.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Because I have some future plans of a Zona Alfa campaign using a mix of figures from the collection including these fine gents, I purposely went with a mix of clothing and camo patterns. Not only are SOF troops renowned for wearing what’s comfy, but it also fits a progressive campaign narrative.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From left to right, the SAW gunner has plain tan pants with Mulit-Cam top, the kneeling grenadier and the team lead are both sporting Multi, and anti-tank missile troop is wearing multi pants and desert CADPAT top (ala Canadians in Afghanistan, and CSOR in Iraq)… </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I was pretty pumped when I picked up the Rhino figure a few months back and was even more pumped when I saw Sorastro's take on him. At the end of the day, I ended up loosely following the guidance of Sorastro, but also kept to my own interpretation or at least colour scale. </div><div><br /></div><div>The figure has alot of great texturing already laid into it so a bunch of the work was just trying to make sure that whatever I did, did not take away from that level of detail. The face is super expressive and just a dynamic pose overall. I did include some additional debris, capturing some degree of motion as Sorastro might say, but not too much to get in the way as I sometimes overthing those little details.</div><div><br /></div><div>My one con for the figure overall is some of the seam lines are challenging to smooth away or fill over without removing/obscuring the fabulous details. But the figure overall was a bunch of fun to paint up and only took me a couple of nights.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you enjoy the pics.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Having played a few games of FoF against and with Chris before, I was looking forward to the game.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall objectives were pretty simple, US forces were to secure a high value target (HVT) in a local village, while Local forces were to disrupt, inhibit, and potentially defend the HVT from capture. Elected to take on the role of the US commander, Chris gave me a quick brief on the phases of the operation, #1. Ingress into the ville and take station around the main village building/mosque, #2. Secure the HVT and load them into the vehicles for extraction, and #3. Exfil and egress from the ville. Limiting factors for the US, while egress could be along main road leading South, ingress had to ignore this route as it would give too much warning to Local forces, and there were some tight timing constraints as each objective should be completed within 3 turns each.</div><div><br /></div><div>Initial US forces were 4 humvees with a fireteam of 4 pers each (2 x M16/4, 1 x M16 w/203, and 1 x SAW…I think), each trooper had body armour, and were considered well supplied if within line of sight of their vehicle with no obstructions in the way. There were no Local forces on the table, but there were several groupings of locals around the ville.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The ville…looking south, main building/mosque in the centre marked with HESCO barriers. There were 2 roads from the north on either side of the admin building, and 2 on either side from the east and west, you can see the main road leading south straight down the centre of the table.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh95Y7AKUytgqZEyNnR383zZNwcCgnEwSQzuBdfdpBTyJvcHOpdX3Yjcsoqw8oGjzkvl72E4Zqrjb0m-DY53dxkBJEXf2B9nFctA2LqDZfnUBnVeKD3YxGKZGXh_c5DCSdN7Z-cmh2-iDAqEmmA298ThbKlkqtkPGM-N8gCLVQugapZVztYjHBoIUbF/s2775/4F3A722E-C382-4CAA-82B7-29A9B066CE9F.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2766" data-original-width="2775" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh95Y7AKUytgqZEyNnR383zZNwcCgnEwSQzuBdfdpBTyJvcHOpdX3Yjcsoqw8oGjzkvl72E4Zqrjb0m-DY53dxkBJEXf2B9nFctA2LqDZfnUBnVeKD3YxGKZGXh_c5DCSdN7Z-cmh2-iDAqEmmA298ThbKlkqtkPGM-N8gCLVQugapZVztYjHBoIUbF/w400-h399/4F3A722E-C382-4CAA-82B7-29A9B066CE9F.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can see the initial ingress by the fireteams…one humvee per side coming in from top and bottom of the pic. 2 more teams coming in from behind the admin block on picture left. Again, the master plan was to ‘drive casual’ into town so as not to draw too much attention. So, a tactical move later, you can see a roadblock being placed near the lower humvee.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3wykqPAjPljgwLB8mlQ5MyLq_fbPouD2ooFIGITaFX28NGyQemUuooQ88WbSk4aF1HQdzCnQN98lrrjt6RZGwGXoFqoriLiOyTnzH5S33rrFQuzN_bf6MDPH99kCI4DRtXkdN7RE7T5RSKMbYilvdV_YU7F6Tp1Gi2ja5ZqhtUFoViKJLmZddJyOR/s4032/F85C2A06-6F85-4026-A75D-E1F5B11B956C.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3wykqPAjPljgwLB8mlQ5MyLq_fbPouD2ooFIGITaFX28NGyQemUuooQ88WbSk4aF1HQdzCnQN98lrrjt6RZGwGXoFqoriLiOyTnzH5S33rrFQuzN_bf6MDPH99kCI4DRtXkdN7RE7T5RSKMbYilvdV_YU7F6Tp1Gi2ja5ZqhtUFoViKJLmZddJyOR/w300-h400/F85C2A06-6F85-4026-A75D-E1F5B11B956C.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A better perspective from the south, you can see all 4 humvees in the town, roadblock in place on the left, and groupings of civilians blocking the way of the vehicles.

I’ve already shared a few random pics of the various tables and a few games that Mike was running. For the first year back, my buddy Serge set himself the Herculean task of running 4 different games…and, not having played Flames of War for quite some time, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was one of Serge’s games - by this time I had already filled in fora few dice rolls in Serge’s Kursk game, but this one I had intentionally signed up for in advance.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So, Serge brought us Juno Beach with scratch built beach and sea wall terrain. It was a great looking table and well laid out. Serge really tried to maximize a simple approach to the game and make it as easy as possible for the players. We had a few that had low or no gaming experience (one of the players was attending their first Cangames!!). So, the setup - Juno Beach…</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The attackers: Canadian infantry and tanks rolling in hard with special rule of recycling infantry platoons to emulate the waves of assaulters. There were a few specials in the form of Churchill flame tanks and I think there was a preparatory bombardment as well.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The defenders: German infantry with panzerfaust/shrek, attached mortars, and armoured cars and Tigers in reserve…no special rules, but there were elements of the Atlantic wall - 4 x Tobruk mg nests, and 2 anti-tank bunkers (5cm AT guns) and an AT nest (8.8cm Pak43) along with some trench line for the soldats and a few minefields/barbed wire that had to be cleared. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now I can’t remember exactly the comings and goings of the entire action…there were about 7 rounds with German reinforcements coming in late and having fairly low impact overall. The AT bunkers fell quicker than expected and the attackers bunched up, a lot, at the sea wall and took a surprising amount of time to consolidate and get past the wall.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">All in all, a very enjoyable game and great reintroduction into Flames of War…now, the pics.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The lay of the land, looking inland…landing craft and attacking force on parade.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhspSFj4o1-KjJGMH3sutpELxsYltqRQkejts2HOCklojpCv2EZgtu5vaeSvQkCCBaJJgszKdfJd1IQmz6oeiPb9ao_ifqKbuFAUB7PTv2bRPBgHhmBXH1VpiAN3R8Uxlf5eAXaQBd5zs8QgxBRgOnmSoO588ITPMEn5wdN5XSHHnGP2WvOkyeSn2W-/s4032/D55BDA88-4B56-4904-91D1-1D6CFA4C81F1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2544" data-original-width="4032" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhspSFj4o1-KjJGMH3sutpELxsYltqRQkejts2HOCklojpCv2EZgtu5vaeSvQkCCBaJJgszKdfJd1IQmz6oeiPb9ao_ifqKbuFAUB7PTv2bRPBgHhmBXH1VpiAN3R8Uxlf5eAXaQBd5zs8QgxBRgOnmSoO588ITPMEn5wdN5XSHHnGP2WvOkyeSn2W-/w400-h253/D55BDA88-4B56-4904-91D1-1D6CFA4C81F1.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UrkBYSk_urQMKhrhN9nkr8JEQzIKmsaFUQukU9yTfPF-x2E7cFFpgDGFljSQ2W-zyUAyXzb0hqZa34qOcoaa1ewrq2nXjCEdyM8OIMGd5YThn-1UR3JMyYrmlZtWbyNk5xBsaB9MqeCJcBCgW39YOghFsSO44P8UipmpY20spsGy_A1rsJ_ux880/s4032/F99C678B-6AC4-4A2C-BD53-FED0F15FA25B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UrkBYSk_urQMKhrhN9nkr8JEQzIKmsaFUQukU9yTfPF-x2E7cFFpgDGFljSQ2W-zyUAyXzb0hqZa34qOcoaa1ewrq2nXjCEdyM8OIMGd5YThn-1UR3JMyYrmlZtWbyNk5xBsaB9MqeCJcBCgW39YOghFsSO44P8UipmpY20spsGy_A1rsJ_ux880/w400-h300/F99C678B-6AC4-4A2C-BD53-FED0F15FA25B.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWcR0W_0g6CPmem-XEfrOjQt52fLVUQtP0pUvU56qeg1TttI9NEDKRf8_ibh7d3BIFbK7udG_3yVeucAZHMOS5qOBEZIklsFD-1MuHpEhZUWqJy8mNT9WZmnkCULRdXaDDr6xH_wN9qw0PXwD4qDKC8Jr19jjYLFDWXEdlQxEwubd3YJgzKFauqFe5/s4032/DB1D7F3A-F561-4F2A-996C-C1AD8EC663E1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWcR0W_0g6CPmem-XEfrOjQt52fLVUQtP0pUvU56qeg1TttI9NEDKRf8_ibh7d3BIFbK7udG_3yVeucAZHMOS5qOBEZIklsFD-1MuHpEhZUWqJy8mNT9WZmnkCULRdXaDDr6xH_wN9qw0PXwD4qDKC8Jr19jjYLFDWXEdlQxEwubd3YJgzKFauqFe5/w480-h640/DB1D7F3A-F561-4F2A-996C-C1AD8EC663E1.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Canucks storm the beach, making for the wall, throwing smoke down to disrupt the LOS of the bunkers and nests.

Getting through my Cangames photos from last month and thought I would make a specific post to one of Mike’s games that he ran. As I had posted earlier, Duncan and I were supposed to run a Force on Force game, unfortunately it didn’t come to pass, but Mike stepped in and ran an Infinity rule set inspired World War 1game.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://michaelswargames.blogspot.com/2023/05/cangames-2023-day-3.html" target="_blank">Mike’s Blog - Cangames Day 3</a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Mike had a great looking table, had a mix of figures from both of our collection and by the looks of it the game was really successful…I think there were 6 players in total, and all had a good time. Anyway, I only made it partway through the game, but had the chance to get some pics. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you enjoy them, entirely random without any context of course…here goes.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I’ve had these figs kicking around for some time and to be honest, I had forgotten about them for awhile. So this crew was an obvious choice to help fill out the criminal element for the scenario. So, I figure the least I can do is share some pics of these figs, and see where the year takes us with the scenario.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have a good one.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The crew, boss man in the middle, sumo-muscle and young hoods to the right.
