20mm GamesCraft vehicles

 

            He scaled them down from 28mm for 20mm. I think they maybe a bit on the big side. I got these two here plus 4 strikers. The 3D dudes I got last year.

            3D printed Mexican Federal Police.

            More Federals for the next time out on the road.

Epic ForgeWorld masters sell

 

    Since my father died, I am left to sell his collection. I know jack all about his collection, the value, or how to sell it. I don't know the market. Over the years he told me this and that. I did not pay close attention or memorize what he said. Now I sit here trying to sort it all out and get Mom the most out of it's sale.

                    In an effort to save my family from the circus the Great Sell Off. I don't want my kid or my wife to have to deal with the massive amount of soldiers I have. They know a few mates in passing. They don't know what anything is, it's value, or where to find buyers. I will be selling off everything I have never used, sat in a box since the NY days, and those treasures I snatched up, opened the box, and they remain in that same box.

            After about 5 months listed I sold all my Epic Forge World buildings I kept as masters. When I was constructing my FW table. I kept an original master of every FW building, road, bunker, everything. Those sat in a drawer for years, mint, never touched. It has to go while there are people who remember and still want it. A german dude bough it all for 2.5k. He is asking if I will sell him my FW board too. I asked for 12K crated and shipped.

20mm stuff and a Pirate dude

 

            Table clearing and repairs. I had a bunch of plasticville buildings that needed squaring and repairs. They are older than me. They were my father's when he was a boy. I have been playing with them since my plastic green dime store army men days.

            The pirate building came as part of a collection Chicago Matt grabbed for me. I final repainted it. The Up-armored SUV is resin from SAS. 

        This is a Black Scorpion dude on a 3D base. He was painted with the spanish pirates I sold last week.

Contact Front play test

 

I ran the first scenario for the Legacy Series, rescue Doc.

Blue team

Jill and Mark (veterans) with a pick up truck. Jason and Doug(wrong name) (trained&leader) in a 5 ton. No crew served weapons. All armed with M4s, pistols body armor and NV. I forgot half way thru about it being night time. Starting on the board edge.

4 Drunks (civilians) armed with 2 pistols, bats and knives. Start down the street behind doc’s house.

T6

Blue Jill

              Get in truck

              Break contact

 

Die rolls at this point went way to crazy, 4 10s rolled, every shot hit. I replayed from the point the dice started to ruin the game.

    I felt suppression does nothing with the threshold at 5. Never got to 5. The nerve test strictly prevented ever getting to the threshold of 5. 

    Maybe these two should be combined into just nerve. Then nerve acts as a threshold for pinned.

    The civilians taking M4 fire should pin them. They were drunks, so drunk courage. The robbers militia took M4 fire and a KIA.

              Did we play suppression and nerve correctly?

    Pistols within 6 inches stopped by body armor should remove one action within an activation.

AdeptiCon 2027 dates

             I don't think I will go. Unless B&P/Port Royal, and Epic are different days. And I would have to fly.
