Alpha testing of my card based pub carpark skirmish game with new improved GIF action!<br />
<br />
Hooligans from Ainsty, scratch built carpark. Each player has 4 figures and a pack of 64 cards of appalling actions.<br />
<br />
Offensive actions include Taunting (swearing) and Argey-Bargey (pushing and shoving) with the nuclear option of Tooling Up.<br />

You lose cards to damage (and insults) and the player who loses all cards first loses the battle and is routed from the carpark. Drunkenness is a factor as is expert coordination of your team as your the number of cards you draw each turn is based on proximity of the supporting figures to the main protagonist.<br />

After a lengthy period of inactivity, here comes a bit of Saga. Anglo Saxons finished and pitted against a ruthless invading force of Vikings. <br />

The full army consists of four groups of 12 Ceorls (Levy) armed with spear and shield (warrior-lite), two groups of 8 Thegns (Warriors), one group of 4 Ealdormen (Hearthguard) on foot and one group mounted, and the Warlord, who can also be mounted if feeling suicidal.<br />
<br />
I need to get some bow armed Levy to add a bit more variation, maybe more warriors too.<br />
<br />
For this 6 point battle, I picked the mounted Ealdomen, two units of Thegns (one as a 12 man unit and the other as a 4 man unit to hang about with the warlord), and three units of Ceorls.<br />
<br />
Facing them the Viking army consisting of three 4 man Hirdman (one of which were berserkers), two 8 men Bondi and one group of bow armed Thralls.<br />

<td rowspan="14" style="vertical-align: top;"><b>The Battle</b><br />
The terrain was quite bare, one hill that ended up on my left rear, and one large building centrally located.<br />
<br />
I set up across the table edge, well spaced out, cavalry on the right (away from the Viking bows).<br />
The Vikings set up to the left of the building, leaving the right flank free<br />
<br />
<b>Turn 1</b><br />
<br />
The Vikings advance, 1 unit of Bondi turning to hold off a flanking movement by the Anglo Saxons.<br />
<br />
The Anglo Saxons counter, sending the cavalry right round the flank (taking a fatigue) and charging into to building (also gaining a fatigue).<br />
<br />
<b>Turn 2</b><br />
<br />
The Viking Hirdmen attack the building but are repelled by the Saxon Levy, who take three casualties<br />
<br />
The Viking beserkers and their warlord attack the Anglo Saxon warrior unit causing many casualties, using the power of Thor to force an extended melee.<br />
<br />
The Anglo Saxons fail to hurt the warlord but the beserkers expend themselves with valour (apart from one lone survivor)<br />
<br />
We had to re-fight this after mistaking the warriors for levy the first time round as well as mistiming the use of abilities, fatigue etc. (Well it was our first game of these rules, and the first melee of the battle!)<br />
<br />
The remaining Anglo Saxon warriors take a break to recover fatigue.<br />
<br />
<b>Turn 3</b><br />
<br />
The Viking warlord and remaining beserker charge back in, killing all but 2 warriors for the cost of the last beserker. The remaining Saxon warriors fall back and take no further part in the battle.<br />
<br />
Anglo Saxon ceorls advance on the left flank towards a bondi unit.<br />
<br />
The smaller, 4 man warrior unit move forward to shield the Anglo Saxon warlord.<br />
<br />
<b>Turn 4</b><br />
<br />
The other Viking Hirdmen unit advances to support their warlord.<br />
<br />
The Viking Thrall archers move up and kill most of the small warrior unit.<br />
<br />
Anglo Saxons go on the offensive with some helmet/horsey action and get the Saxon Kingdom ability going - All the levies now count as warriors for the rest of the turn.<br />
<br />
The force in the building charge out and do some damage to the Hirdmen outside before being repelled back, then the unit on the right side of the building charge in finishing the job.<br />
<br />
On the left flank, the Ceorls charge into the Bondi and push them back.<br />
<br />
Round about here the fog of war and poor memory take toil and a gap in the photostream doesn't help either!<br />
In summary the Vikings do some more damage with their archers before falling back while the Saxons advance on the left flank. The cavalry charge in on the Bondi holding the flank and get exterminated, but defeat most of them but fail to get through to the archers.<br />
<br />
<b>Turn 6</b><br />
<br />
The Viking warlord charges single-handed into battle with the Ceorl unit on the left flank who pile on the order dice (Horsey, Axe, Axe and Helmet) on Defenders of the Realm, and Combat Pool for 6 extra attack dice and manage to defeat him for the loss of all but one man</td>

<b>Summary</b><br />
<br />
The casualties on the Saxon side were appalling - we lost more than the Vikings, however we started with more and they lost more expensive troops.<br />
<br />
It was a close battle and could have swung either way near the end, but watching the dead Saxons pile up off table at twice the rate of the Viking casualties it looked like ending up with a loss right up to the end, however looking back the victory points were closer to parity if not slightly in my favour.<br />
<br />
There you go! A tabletop battle finally after a long pause, and an army finally painted after lurking shamefully on my bookshelf in undercoats for many months.<br />
<br />
Hopefully more to come.Felonmarmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08688025271786360396noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504073245181826159.post-83152975144294346432012-12-23T17:26:00.000+00:002012-12-24T00:58:09.390+00:00Merry Christmas One and All<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQWgHBFZcY61QBeBGTYUA_HUDsyYrzlIDucci7AhyCJgsdDEBLDBUJYjottY6fHkEAqrlIzSkpzf1dcCE6faP37zP3UjoEnq697hPe5rYPw7tjswzlIQ5JuhoTLCaZRLiB0_bEuTW-0Lkq/s1600/liebster-blog-award.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQWgHBFZcY61QBeBGTYUA_HUDsyYrzlIDucci7AhyCJgsdDEBLDBUJYjottY6fHkEAqrlIzSkpzf1dcCE6faP37zP3UjoEnq697hPe5rYPw7tjswzlIQ5JuhoTLCaZRLiB0_bEuTW-0Lkq/s200/liebster-blog-award.jpg" width="200" /></a>Back at the beginning of December, my Traveller sub-blog <a href="http://felontrav.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">FelonTrav</a> got nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by Mr Kobold over at <a href="http://waystarhighport.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Waystar High Port</a>. As the Traveller blog is on hold at the moment until I can resolve the problem of all the player's characters being banged up in pokey for piracy and other nefarious dealings, I'm responding in this blog instead (which is marginally more updated - must do better in the new year!)<br />
<br />
The blog award is a self propelled chain letter kind of deal, focussing on blogs with less than 200 followers, which unfortunately excludes a bunch of blogs that I regularly frequent.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Rules</b><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Copy and paste the award to your blog, linking it to the blog who nominated you.</li>
<li>Pass the award to your top five blogs with less than 200 followers
by leaving a comment on one of their blog posts to notify them that they
have won the award and list them on your own blog.</li>
<li>Sit back and bask in that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that you have made someone's day</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
There is no obligation to pass this onto anyone but it is nice if you do.<br />
<br />
Now a bit of internet searching on the origin of this award gives me the following..."The Liebster Blog Award is indeed what I've originally thought except
for some one minor difference. Once you accept your award you have to
nominate 3-5 favorite bloggers who have less than 3,000 readers."<br />
<br />
So, while this may break the latest version of the rules, it may be fine for the original rules, but what the heck, here we go...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://waystarhighport.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>Waystar High Port</b></a><br />
<br />
In a spectacular bit of feedback loopage, my first nomination goes right back to the chap who nominated me. Kobold's Waystar High Port is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveller_%28role-playing_game%29" target="_blank">Traveller</a> blog, the SciFi roleplaying game with its origins back in the 1970's. Notable highlights include the Traveller A to Z series and the current ongoing Aloin's Saga, a series following the career of an apprentice merchant spaceman.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://clearhorizonsalvage.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>ClearHorizon</b></a><br />
<br />
This nomination for Mr Harold's 15mm SF blog is also a little bit of feedback loopage, being one of Kobolds other nominations (who would have thought, people who liked my blog also like blogs I like, wierd huh?). Particular favourite posts include the Shadowrun terrain and vehicles which are very nice pieces of painting and construction, as well as excellently photographed.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://wargaminggirl.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>Wargaming Girl</b></a><br />
<br />
This one breaks the rules, as Tamsin has close to 300 followers at last count (but this would have been OK under the original rules so consider the rules broken). I started my blog at the same time as Tamsin's and she was one of the first followers of my blog (and sub-blogs) and vice versa. Reading her accounts of the Dark Ages Saga games inspired me to dig out my old Gripping Beast miniatures and get them painted (well assembled and primered for most off them so far). Of all the blog writers I read, she is one of the most prolific both in posting and painting.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://dux-homunculorum.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>Dux Homunculorum</b></a><br />
<br />
Also breaking the rules slightly, I found Dux's blog by searching for Saga Roman rules. He has produced a variant for the late Roman period for the 4th and 5th centuries. Lots of good posts and photos.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://paintingagency.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Painting Agency</a></b><br />
<br />
Allison M's blog gets us back on track for the less than 200 followers rule. Some very nice painting, particularly the nazi zombies from the Norwegian zombie movie Dead Snow (easily my favourite Norwegian nazi zombie movie of all time).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://leadpeople.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>I See Lead People </b></a><br />
<br />
Has to be the best named blog ever for miniatures. Breaks the rules at 316 followers, but so full of excellent painting and sculpting that it has to be included also.<br />
<br />
Ah that's 6 nominations also, of which 3 break the rules on number of followers. So 3 of them are official nominations and 3 of them are for the newly devised Felonmarmer's Awards for blogs I like (the other 3 also) which has no rules whatsoever.Felonmarmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08688025271786360396noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504073245181826159.post-78747510210846119742012-12-07T13:39:00.001+00:002012-12-07T13:39:29.142+00:00Bugs and Flyers (and Flying Bugs)Been a bit quiet in here lately (blame Minecraft), but I do hear a faint buzzing in the air.

<br />Also I've been nominated for a blog award, with some conditions to pass on the happiness, for my Traveller Blog by Mr Kobold over at <a href="http://waystarhighport.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Waystar High Port</a>, The Traveller Blog is in hiatus at the moment as all the players where locked up in prison for piracy and the campaign has been stalled for a while, so I may post my recomendations on here instead, if that's OK with Mr Kobold. I'll need to consider 5 nominations myself before I can post it. One might be going straight back to Waystar High Port for a very tight feedback loop! This may break the internet so be warned!Felonmarmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08688025271786360396noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504073245181826159.post-26626286424214077442012-10-17T19:45:00.001+01:002012-10-17T22:11:02.081+01:00Back in TimeAs bit of a departure from the usual, here's a couple of photos of some Gripping Beast plastic Anglo Saxons, that I'm painting for a Saga army. Background houses are 4Ground laser cut MDF jobs - still got a faint whiff of burnt wood about them that a real one with wood fires would have! Less of the other smells associated with the time period though thankfully.<br />

This time I painted them all by hand without using masking tape. With the high level of detail on the Polecat, masking tape becomes more of a hindrance.<br />

Painting technique was this:<br />
<br />
Spray gray with Army Painter base coat, then apply small rectangles of masking tape, stipple paint with darker gray (following <a href="http://clearhorizonsalvage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/test-tutorial-digital-camo.html" target="_blank">Mr Harolds guide</a> on his blog).<br />
<br />
Thought about putting on a more rectangles to do a darker coat, but on realising it'll end up jet black, went for a 2 tone pattern instead.<br />
<br />
Peeled of most of the rectangles and then realised as the Polecat was highly detailed the edges of the squares were not very distinct as the paint got under the masking tape due to the raised detail.<br />
<br />
Ended up tidying the squares up by hand and then painted in a lighter set of squares by hand anyway.<br />
<br />
Symbols and text from some letraset and some spare water slide transfers from a helicopter model.<br />

Along with a squad of jetpack equipped TMP troopers too. I'll have to find a way to angry them up in <a href="http://adeptusiratus.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/angry-is-as-angry-does.html" target="_blank">this style</a> but it'll be a challenge with 15mm figs. Have to find some very thin wire.<br />
<br />
And as I've got the next week off work, hopefully the Harook will be spanking in red/green/blue/violet quite soon.<br />

The only weapons affected by the Coriolis effect would be low velocity snub weapons used by the miners and two teams of specialist zero-G assault troops on the marine side who have entered the tunnels from the exterior of the asteroid rather than disembarking in the main ship docking area.<br />

<b>Background</b><br />
<br />
The background to the attack is that following the Fifth Frontier War a rebellious bunch of asteroid miners (or Belters as they like to be known), take the opportunity to take over a Sword Worlds controlled asteroid habitat for themselves. The Sword World marine force, still reeling from their defeat in the war against the Imperium attempt to retake the asteroid. After securing the docking area they move on to take the main enclosure and the underground tunnel complex.<br />
<br />
The marines can only enter from the main gate or from one of nine access ducts scattered about the enclosure. To fight their way through the tunnels they have to roll 1D6 + (the number of attacking teams in the tunnels) - (the number of defending teams in the tunnels). The result is the number of teams that can enter the enclosure from a random location (1d10, 1-9 = the duct rolled for, 10 = lost in the tunnels)<br />
<br />
The miners sent the majority of their forces down into the tunnels, leaving the Harook to defend the main enclosure, however the marines ignored the tunnels save for their two teams of specialists and attempted to overwhelm the defenders in a mass charge straight out of the main gate.<br />

<b>The Aftermath</b><br />
<br />
The marines withdrew with heavy casualties. They did however manage to destroy the miners heavy laser vehicle as well as destroying the main gun on one of the grav tanks. The DIMOG was eventually destroyed as well as the ATGM turret on the walker robot.<br />
<br />
<b>The Rules</b><br />
<br />
The curvature rules took a little getting used to and the Coriolis effect never came into play as the range that the low velocity weapon armed troops engaged in was too close for it to apply.<br />
<br />
Once again I (and my opponent) struggled with the Tomorrow's War rules. The fact that a unit can react and react and react (only losing 1 FP for each additional reaction) does seem to make defenders incredibly powerful, add in a couple of units on overwatch who can join in the firefight and it gets very one sided for the initiative side.<br />
<br />
The other main gripe with the rules is the difficulty in finding the rules you want, the index is appalling as it lists every mention of the term you want to look up, not highlighting the main section of the rules. The standard way of doing this is to put the page number of the main section in bold so you don't have to wade your way through every mention of the word Overwatch (for example), something that the authors do not seem to be aware of.<br />
<br />
I have to say that the scenarios in the rule book are carefully thought out, with the forces and victory conditions nicely balanced to suit the rules. Maybe its my unfamiliarity with the rules that makes it difficult to create a balanced scenario.<br />
<br />
The only thing to do is write my own set of rules I reckon, at least then I'll know how they work!<br />

Most SciFi wargames take place in a very terrestrial landscape, and tend to suffer from the terrain equivalent of the monster in the rubber suit effect. Now all this can be justified, after all why else would people (or aliens) be fighting over territory unless it was worth taking, which means it would have to be semi terrestrial at least.<br />
<br />
So the idea of this post is to explore the possibilities of combat in a less terrestrial like environment, that of an asteroid habitat.<br />
<br />

Asteroid habitats are made by hollowing out an enclosure within a largish (kilometre long) asteroid, spinning it along its axis for gravity and then terraforming the interior.<br />
<br />
So there's a few issues you need to work out to wargame combat in an asteroid habitat. I'm going to work out some additional rules for Tomorrows War to deal with this and hopefully soon, depending on the outcome of the next few sessions of my Traveller Campaign, try out the rules in a game.<br />
<br />
So here come my draft (and hopefully not too daft) rules... <br />
<br />
<b>The Asteroid</b><br />
<br />
The inside of the asteroid will be a 6" x 4" table, rolled up so the two short edges are touching. Based on a ground scale of 1:500 this would give a cylindrical asteroid enclosure with a radius of 143m and a length of 600m.<br />
<br />
Tomorrows War does not have a stated ground scale, but its obviously not 1:1 with figure height as that would mean that the unit cohesion distance (1") would be 2.5m. That's a little close for infantry spacing. At 1:500, this distance is 12.5m which is a little more realistic.<br />
<br />
This asteroid is going to have a simulated gravity of 0.33G, this means that the surface is moving with a speed of 21.5m, spinning with a period of 41.8 seconds.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 1 : Topology</b><br />
<br />
The easiest way to model the interior is to say that the table surface is wrapped around the inside of a cylinder. If you move a unit off a short edge of the table, then it comes on at the other short edge. The long edges end in vertical cliffs and are impassable except by doors into the rocky shell of the asteroid, leading to the power rooms, living quarters and ship bays perhaps.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 2 : Curvature</b><br />
<br />
This may seem obvious, but as the inside is curved, units will be able to see over obstacles in certain directions. Obstacles will have a dead ground shadow as shown in the following diagram.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJR0fnRLjunSBqZgLRLVif5KXhNg_zhLNvfBV6asmt4_iCleec4_4_T8PAprc6MMA_VIgl2oMXgdkf2NpMTKIs3QlCdeEMWEqgaNKMhOIjVt9q_Lni9Y1rm328oL-lJ2CkJSRVt5gxSeE/s1600/vis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJR0fnRLjunSBqZgLRLVif5KXhNg_zhLNvfBV6asmt4_iCleec4_4_T8PAprc6MMA_VIgl2oMXgdkf2NpMTKIs3QlCdeEMWEqgaNKMhOIjVt9q_Lni9Y1rm328oL-lJ2CkJSRVt5gxSeE/s640/vis.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
A unit at A can see over the building B to a certain extent, unit C is hidden but unit D is exposed. The length of the dead zone Z is dependant on the degree of curvature, the height of the obstacle H and the distance D from the obstacle. This only applies along the long axis of the table, looking along the short axis, any obstacle will block visibility completely.<br />
<br />
This table gives the distance in inches of the Dead Zone (Z) for various distances (D) from the obstacle. The height H of the obstacle is in figure heights (based on 15mm miniatures).This is based on the 143m radius asteroid described above.<br />

<b>Rule 3 : The Coriolis Effect</b><br />
<br />
The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect" target="_blank">Coriolis Effect</a> is caused by the rotation of the asteroid. Its effects will be felt in movement and shooting. Treat all movement in the asteroid as low grav (roll Troop Quality to move fast) but with a modifier of -1 on the roll, unless the units are used to the condition inside a rotating asteroid (home team advantage!).<br />
<br />
The Coriolis Effect will also affect shooting: as the surface is moving then by the time your bullet gets there, the target will have rotated out of the way. In the case of this asteroid, if the round takes a second to get there then the target will have moved 21.5m. The following table shows the reduction in firepower based on range and speed of projectile.<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; width: 480px;" x:str="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="boxnorot">Lasers</td>
<td class="boxnorot">No effect</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="boxnorot">High Velocity Weapons</td>
<td class="boxnorot">-1 FP per 6"</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="boxnorot">Medium Velocity Weapons</td>
<td class="boxnorot">-2 FP per 6"</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="boxnorot">Low Velocity Weapons</td>
<td class="boxnorot">-3 FP per 6"</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<br />
Laser weapons are obvious. High velocity weapons are hypersonic weapons like gauss guns, high power sniper weapons etc. Medium velocity weopons are typical supersonic assault weapons. Low velocity weapons are zero G snub weapons, accelerator (rocket) rifles, bows and the like.<br />
<br />
You can counteract the effect by using guidance and or advanced computerised sighting. Each of these reduces the negative effect by one level (so a guided rocket rifles with computerised sights would only be reduced by -1 FP per 6").<br />
<br />
The FP reduction is off the total FP for the unit firing based on the majority of weapon types in the unit in question.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 4 : The Light Cylinder</b><br />
<br />
The asteroid may have a "Light Cylinder". This is a transparent, perspex like cylinder running along the axis of rotation. The purpose of the cylinder is to illuminate the interior of the asteroid. Mirrors bounce sun light down the cylinder which then illuminates the enclosure. The cylinder can also be used for artificial rain by sprinkling water from it.<br />
<br />
This means that it blocks line of sight for any unit directly above it, so for the asteroid in question any unit 36 inches +/- 3 inches further up the table is blocked from view by the cylinder and/or its glow.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 5 : Flying Things</b><br />
<br />
I'm sure they'll be affected but right now I'm, not sure how.<br />
<br />

<br />
The biggest problem is getting a bloke in there. Most of them do not have enough room for anyone to sit in them unless they were recruited from the casualty wards. Now this may not be too far fetched, it at least gives a reason for the existence of walkers, which is tenuous at best.<br />
<br />
The only possible reason for them is a need for something more armoured and carrying more powerful weaponry that has similar mobility in terms of terrain as infantry. So they could only be used where tanks can't go, as anywhere a tank could go, a tank would be superior in terms of armour, weapon size, speed, range, lack of joints to break and also a lower silhouette. So we can only be talking about very rough broken terrain and possible heavily vegetated areas.<br />
<br />
On to some pictures, here we have the DIMOG varients from Khurasan...<br />

All of these obviously have no problem with fitting a crewman and are probably some of the most realistic style of walkers in the ranges currently available.<br />
<br />
Next up we have some Steel Warriors, nominally 25mm scale power armour types, though such figures would have great difficulty getting their legs into the armour, as 15mm walkers they work much better... <br />

Each of these has problems with cockpit size. The Protolene Scout Assaultsuit obviously would require a lower limb amputee to drive it as the articulation between body and legs would not allow the pilots legs to pass through. Alternatively it could be a robot piloted by an AI instead. The 28mm Power Armour also has problems with crew position, although it does look possible for the legs of the pilot to fit in the upper part of the walkers legs, although it would require a saddle rather than a chair.<br />

Now if you want to do it right, by which I mean if you are insane enough to think that walkers are a good idea, you have to be Harook, in which case you can create the fantastic Chicken Main Battle Tank.<br />
<br />
The very size of the thing has a morale effect that compensates for its sheer impracticability and as such fits into the Harook philosophy of war quite nicely.<br />

My unstoppable blog creation tendencies have struck again.<br />
<br />
Over at <a href="http://felontrav.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">FelonTrav</a> I'm going to put all my stuff concerning the Traveller Campaign I'm about to start. There will hopefully be some links to SF wargaming as it would be nice to do any major conflicts on the tabletop.<br />
<br />
The campaign is going to feature the trials and tribulations of a group of Sword Worlders in the uncertain times following the Fifth Frontier War.<br />
<br />
FelonTrav now updated with character histories and some jump drive speculation. <br />

When not fighting aliens, someone with a Class 2 Loader Operation licence can always find work picking things up and putting them down again.
It's good work when your flight officers licence has been revoked,it's great your keeping busy, and I know it's all you
could get. There's nothing wrong with it!<br />

I purchased a couple of spare turrets with the DFSIR to allow the use of all the weapon options the kit comes with. The turrets sit in a circular recess on top of the walking bit so they can be easily swapped over. This is the missile set, 4 missiles each side. They could be either AA or AT missiles.<br />

The donor vehicle for the tracks, this is the Silar Heavy Tank from Khurasan with the grav modification.<br />
<br />
This has had an additional gun mounted on the turret for the commander. The gun is another spare autocannon from a Khurasan's DIMOG walker.<br />
<br />
On the previous tracked conversion this was the main gun, on the battle tank it's just a minor secondary weapon! Shows how big the tank is. <br />

I controlled the small colonist security force, Rob was in charge of the Legionnaire Force and Euan was the Alien commander.<br />
<br />
As the aliens were counted as Irregulars they seemed to have all the disadvantages of not ever being able to win initiative without the usual benefits so I added a reinforcement option to the scenario - at the end of every turn the aliens could reclaim 1D6 killed aliens and when enough had been reclaimed for a group of 5 they would come on from a random hot spot, there was one in each quarter of the table and one positioned by the alien commander numbered 1 to 5. The alien commander would roll to see which point the reinforcements would arrive, on a roll of 6 the commander could chose which point to enter the table from.<br />
<br />
To account for most of the buildings being ruins we said an earthquake had just happened (caused by Bugs tunnelling under the reactor) and the legionnaires were on there way to rescue the colonists from the ruins when they got reports of something far worse occurring.<br />
<br />
In addition a media team were present in the area and we would allocate extra points to either side for any action in that sides favour occurring within 6" of the team. At the end of the turn we would roll to see which side could move the media team.<br />

The Security Force set up first within the residential area facing the reactor complex with two small teams and a converted tractor vehicle mounting a gauss machine gun.
The aliens then set up in the reactor complex, lurking amongst the buildings and landscaping.
Then the colonists were placed, 30 of them, in the residential area - the two sides taking turns to place each one.<br />

<b>Turn 1</b><br />
<br />
The legionnaire force comes on table from the southern road and move up ignoring the cries for help from the citizens hiding in the farm buildings. The security forces fall back into Buildings 2 and 3 to escort the colonists hiding there to safety. The patrol vehicle goes on overwatch coving the approaches from the reactor.<br />
<br />
The aliens burst across the road attacking the colonists outside of Building 1 (who flee), the colonists standing around waiting to be interviewed by the media team and towards the hill overlooking the road junction. The alien King (or Queen) rushed forward from behind the Power Plant building catching the security forces by surprise who fail to zap him(or her) with the patrol vehicles gauss cannon. The media team catch it all on camera giving the aliens a bonus victory point. The colonists in the open flee into the Wooded Park.<br />

The legionnaires fully occupy Building 3 and set up overwatch teams on the roof all the while fighting off alien attacks from across the road. The aliens manage to enter the building and overpower one of the fire teams. Meanwhile the legionnaire team on the hill manage to hold off repeated attacks from the road. The security team leave Building 2 with some more colonists, and lead them to the scared colonists milling about by the Wooded Park. Meanwhile the media team decide to go and investigate the munching sounds coming from Building 1.<br />

The legionnaire manage to rescue their comrades in Building 3, killing the last alien inside the building before it could eat anyone else. The security team move on to the Farm Buildings picking up more colonists while the patrol vehicle moves off to cover the first group of colonists heading for the starport.<br />
<br />
The King and Queen aliens attempt to move from behind the Reactor to the hill adjacent to it, The King (or Queen) gets past without the overwatch team on the roof of Building 3 reacting, but the Queen (or King) following on gets caught in the open and killed. <br />
<br />
The aliens in Building 1 attempt to charge the journalists but fail, confused by their approach ("I see you're being eaten alive by these hideous aliens, tell me, how do you feel?"). The media team come to their senses eventually and move away into Building 2.<br />

More attacks on Building 3 are halted by concentrated fire from the overwatch teams. The security team moves on from the Farm Buildings. There are escorting so many colonists now I make a ruling that they need to make a Troop Quality roll if they wish to move quicker than walking (which they then fail to make until the last turn).

<b>Conclusion</b><br />
<br />
The game was an overwhelming victory for the humans in terms of points with most of the colonists getting away along with the majority of the security and legionnaire forces.<br />
<br />
The aliens were hampered by poor reinforcement rolls, both in the numbers arriving (although by the end of the game they had recovered most of their losses) and in the location they arrived. They also failed to charge a number of times against the odds.<br />
<br />
The vehicle failed to make much of an impression in terms of casualties but may have put off the aliens from attacking.<br />
<br />
I've got some issues with the rules - the reaction system works well, but the morale system doesn't seem to work particularly well. Also the rules suffer from being hard to read, not helped by me mis-remembering where on the page tables were as I flipped through the book over and over (I was remembering where the table was in the Force on Force rule book instead). The index too needs some work, every page where the subject is mentioned is listed along with the main one where the rules are - the main page reference should be emboldened to help find the rules you are looking for.Felonmarmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08688025271786360396noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504073245181826159.post-57039250747523200832012-04-04T18:23:00.000+01:002012-04-04T22:02:38.164+01:00Bugs in the ReactorNow I've got enough aliens, I've been getting ready to play the Bugs in the Reactor scenario in Tomorrow's War.<br />

The Bugs. Justifiably upset with the colonists, they seek to gain their revenge by taking out a no win, no fee legal damages claim in the local courts. Failing a successful result they will resort to eating the colonists.<br />

The legionnaires. Three squads of bad ass trooper types. All they are missing is a nuke to take off and bomb the aliens with from orbit. Which is a shame as they are probably going to need one.<br />

I was going to substitute a wheeled Old Crow APC when I also realised I had 4 sets of spare tracks that came with my Khurasan Heavy Tank which has the anti-grav modification... so a bit of work with plasticard, milliput, spare plastic model parts and one of the spare autocannons from a Khurasan DIMOG armoured suit (Khurasan do put a lot of spare parts in some their models) and I came up with this tracked monster future Bren Gun Carrier.<br />
<br />
<br />
The vehicle is crewed with a spare half man (Khurasan again), and a crouching heavy machine gunner (Oddzial Osmy's New Vistula Legion).<br />

Have to paint 3 more patrol types also for when their vehicle gets eaten and they have to dismount<br />

Next task, make up a few more road sections to cover the length and width of the 6' x 4' table. The colonists buildings may very well start out as ruins - building on alien burial grounds is terrible for subsidence.<br />

These are some of the new lot being painted up. I'm using a mix of red and black ink (3 to 1 ratio red to back) with a drop or two of flow enhancer painting over bare metal. I'm building up a lacquer effect with multiple layers and will probably stick in a layer or two of plain black ink wash to darken and pick out the details a bit. Then I'll pick out the odd bit of more fleshly like detail with dark red paint to get a contrast in shininess and maybe try a bit of slime modelling with acrylic gel. The only problem with the ink on bare metal is it's a bit fragile and prone to flaking off if you clumsily knock the entire lot on the floor while you take photos of them! I'll have to touch up the odd spot on some of these.<br />
<br />
When these are done I'll have more than enough aliens to do the Bugs in the Reactor scenario in Tomorrow's War. Watch out Colonial Marines! Insert Aliens quote here!<br />

<br />
During a recent sorting out of my lead piles, I found some old GW Traveller figures.<br />
<br />
They are about 30 years old, and show a lot of wear. They were painting in a mixture of artists acrylic and enamel as far as I can remember, but I've quickly redone the Vargr (in their originally painted colours) with a quick once over.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here they are in all there ancient glory (speaking of ancients, spoiler alert - there's some Droyne about somewhere that I'll take some photos of when I re-find them), warts, flaking paint job and all.<br />

A bunch of Imperial types with Power Armour in the old clunky style wielding scary looking PGMP's and FGMP's. Looks like the enamel paints have protected them a bit.<br />

Woof, Woof, Grrrrrr. Vargr going about their business. These have had a quick brush up, replicating my weird idea of trouser colour back when I first painted them<br />
