Right! Long time no see gents, but I’m back!
Let’s get those fingers tipy and that chin wagging.
1) No, in fact it’s way better to have a simpler game with simpler mechanic but that provides you deeper immersion. It’s all about the experience, not the amount of terraflops your brain need to do to know how you’ll be doing that move you want to do.
A big exemple I have on that is C21. the first edition was a lot simpler than V2 (@Oriskani tried it not so long ago with his Falkland air wargame). While V2 is good, as it’s more complicated than V1 I feel like I prefer V1, even if I was excited as a kid on Christmas morning when it came out.
2) Honnestly I don’t know, I suppose I will have to try Fallout Wasteland warfare. But then Fallout 1 and 2 are the real fallout for me… so as it was turn by turn I suppose it won’t be such a huge difference.
3) I have mixed feelings about it, let’s talk about one of my favorite game. Flames of War. While I love what they do with the cards (yay like back in Epic Space Marines!) I am a bit puzzled when a big new supplement comes out and that I play the main 4 forces (German, British, Americans and Russians) I have all those cards to get. But it’s part of the game.
Right… some said Pledge… oh my.
This week end I shall:
– Ink my 10 Hurricanes for Blood Red Skies
– Apply decals to 12 Hurricanes for Blood red skies (yes 2 of them were already painted and inked)
– Apply Finishing Varnish to the said 12 Hurricanes (so gloss after the decals and then matt in the end)
– Undercoat my 6 Ju 88 for Blood Red Skies
– 12 Blood Claws for my 1500 points Space Wolf Army:
– Do the bolt pistols (basic black then highlights)
– Bronze (base, shading highlights)
– Great Company Shoulder Pad (only paint it, decals comes in the end and I’m far from it)
– Design the Pack shoulder pad (at the moment I got no idea how I’ll paint it….)
– Glue together my Goliaths for new Necromunda
– Workout the paint scheme for Perry’s box and the flock!
– Finish my home made icone for Beastofwar.com!
Right…. kinda feeling that once again I’ve put way too much on my plate.
@robert do love that Grave Digger tune
And cause everyone needs some tune:
And quite gentle for my taste too 😉
Let’s go a bit harder maybe:
