@sundancer that certainly is true.

I picked up my Zombicide Invader pledge yesterday.
There’s more to unbox, but for now I’ll post these pictures.

The ‘civillian extra’ box had two layers of minis :

 

The enemy are alien creatures :

Size comparison : core space vs kabuki surivor gang

The zombicide minis are more detailed, but the size and proportions are a good match to the ‘Core space’ crew IMHO
As such this gives options to replace either the purge (= the robot zombies in ‘Core space’) or the crews with zombicide:invasion minis. I consider this a bonus, because it is rare for miniatures from different systems/manufacturers to have similar proportions.

My “hobby” for the morning:

I’m making an effort to unplug a little.  The site, hobby, gaming, the internet in general. Sociologists aren’t kidding when they say this stuff can depress you.

 

My hobby for the afternoon: Poland – 1939 (80th Anniversary Prep)

Panzer Leader run vs. @yavasa live on Twitch.

Polish set up and German list construction:

German approach.  Ah, the “mighty” German Panzerwaffe of 1939. We’re looking at about 40 tanks here, roughly one battalion, or about 1/8 of 1st Panzer Division’s armored fighting power.

 

Yavasa gets bold, wiping out a platoon of “Pioniere” assault engineers while they were still in my trucks. The nearby platoon of SdKfz 231/6s tried to break up this tankette attack, but failed.

 

The Germans invest Polish tanks, and set up for their set-piece assault on the second Polish objective hex.

 

The German assault begins in earnest, with infantry guns, mortars, and 7.5cms on PzKpfw IVs. But Yavasa is feeding in reinforcements into the battle, and close-assaulting German PzKpfw IIs originally used to spot the Polish defenders. Yes, German tanks are burning, and Polish cavalry are involved. This DID happen (German armored recon if memory serves), and CAN be successful if done carefully under the right circumstances.

 

We got as far as Turn 5. Yavasa has definitely picked up this game! And I’m pretty sure if this game had gone to completion we’d wind up with a 4-3 Polish win.

I’ve not been this confused since I first saw Lady Gaga. I’ll post my in progress Forces of the Abyss here and if requested in the other weekender thread. ?

Huh 100% Mantic there. Most of it from a Dungeon Saga expansion I picked up for the models. Turns out that Trident Realms hero was in there too. Bonus!

Also got working on the walkers from Here’s Negan ready for demoing it next month.
