1st game on the new table

I ain't scared of no plague!

        I can't believe it either. Force on Force! Man that stuff has been in storage since NY. I think the last time I played was 2014. I bought a collect of US Desert Storm dudes in 2017. The collection was unpacked, cleaned, and restored. Other than that, nothing. 
        It was a rough start. I had forgotten how to count defense dice, Moral checks, confidence checks. I had no problem with reactions. But I did take the book to bed with me. Next to Epic this is my favorite to play. 

        Jeremy and the family came over. Pizza and game night. The girls did girl stuff. Jeremy, his boy, and me were wargaming. The boy a total of 5 years old performed better than expected. He plays the Star Wars fighter game with his dad. He ran the Blackhawk and Rangers. As the game got deep into the metal hitting the meat, he got bored. One day the boy will be a War Gamer!
        No scenario. This was Jeremy's 1st putting with Force on Force. The terrain and objectives were set to teach the mechanics of the FoF. We focused on movement, reactions, and cover. How to count dice for attack and defense.
        No pictures cause I suck. Jeremy said he enjoyed Force on Force. He is also not doing shit and wants to play again.

       The 1st game in a long time got me digging through the mountain. I knew there was more stuff around. But Where? I found more than I remembered having. Two boxes full of unbuilt houses. A box of Technicals and Afghans. A box of up armored Russian SUVs. I started building the houses.
       The houses/buildings are GamesCraft MDF. They are easy enough to do. Super easy to assemble and paint up. All the buildings over there look like shit anyways. Not a lot of effort to paint. So they are first.

The last 4 MDF buildings getting the tabs filled in with wall paste. After it dries I will sand them smooth.
        Two of the rare resin buildings he did. A shop and the same building blown up. They have buried since 2014.
      This resin one, I don't know where it came from. It is from someone's Africa series. As you see it is exactly how it has been since I got it. I refused to paint it. I couldn't get an idea of how I wanted it.
       These are the first two done. The square dude is foam core not MDF. I would never purchase a foam core again! it is extra shity.
