Dropping Minis All Weekend Long

On August 20, 2018

This weekend saw a lot of Dropzone as we celebrated a friend’s birthday with a bunch of Dropzone Commander games going off simultaneously. With 6 players, we had all five factions represented and I did a poor job of capturing the event as we had several interesting games going on. My map featured the orbital defense laser in the “Laser 2” scenario from Reconquest Phase 1. The Shaltari v UCM was river defense layout and the Shaltari v Scourge was a custom narrative scenario with some elevated highway terrain.

In Gaslands, Technique

It’s funny how quickly a fire can spread, especially with heavy winds. A particularly fast spreading wildfire just hit my game group hard and it has us all scrambling to keep up. Gaslands is one of the Osprey “Blue Book” games’ series where they have a designer put together a rule system and setting in a very defined format. The game, written/designed by Mike Hutchinson, came out last year but really took off with my group thanks to a review of it on the Secret Cabal gaming podcast.

In essence, the game rule set for miniature car/vehicle combat using template movement a la X-wing (without the hidden selection process). The rule set is super cheap and picking it up is easy by buying the PDF of Osprey’s site or picking up a hardcopy off Amazon.
