Due to lack of funds and there is just so much I need to buy. I decided to venture into the world of eBay selling.<br />
<div>
Yes slightly confusing at first, but I muddled through.</div>
<div>
Ok so what am I selling? Well having read that an old Citadel/GW minature sold for around £100. I suddenly, in the dim, dark recesses of my memory seeing such an item. After much searching,pilling up of boxes to get to the one box I needed (at the bottom). I found it!</div>
<div>
A couple of drunken Dwarfs</div>

Another seller has the same miniature for £130! </div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As I need the cash and don't think I'll get that much got it, decided to put it on for much less as a buy now. Have also put it under auction as well. We'll see what happens. Have already marked what I want to buy with the funds!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now where's that Dwarf bugmans cart I have.</div>

Has a none updated website. Best to catch-up with them on their facebook page. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#!/groups/133202623367933/" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a><br />
<br />
<br />
What do they sale?<br />
<br />
New and second hand;<br />
<br />
boardgames<br />
card games<br />
figure - mainly Games workshop, but also some others<br />
scenery/terrain<br />
paints<br />
graphic novels/comics<br />
DVDs<br />
T-shirts<br />
<br />
If they haven't got it they can try and get it.<br />
<br />
Where are they?<br />
Location and contact details - <strong><a href="https://plus.google.com/103799691253080232178/about?gl=GB&hl=en-GB#103799691253080232178/about?gl=GB&hl=en-GB" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Why should we use independent shops?</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Mainly one word, <u>variety</u><br />
<br />
Ok so the prices of say card/boardgames maybe more expensive than on line shops. But usually only by a couple of pounds (under the RRP) and hey, no wait, just take it home and play.<br />
<br />
Figures are about the same price as on line, certainly cheaper than a well known high street shop (will not even advertise their name, damn already have!). <br />
<br />
Also like area 51 you may pick up a second hand bargain in both figures and games.<br />
<br />
Don't be one of the 'drones', try your independent game store today.<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>* Please note your independent game store may not have one of these.</em><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sounded like a great little game and could fill a few minutes of solo wargaming (yes I have no friends).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">After I read the rules I started to think about miniatures I would need to play it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Getting hold of these could be difficult. Could not find a miniature 25-28 mm turkey any where. OK how about changing the animal to say a boar? The best place to look for obscure animals and other creatures is Black Cat Bases. Would you believe it found this</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://blackcatbases.com/bmz_cache/7/7d40d6f8b661b7835a79c6b044dccd15.image.508x550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://blackcatbases.com/bmz_cache/7/7d40d6f8b661b7835a79c6b044dccd15.image.508x550.jpg" width="295" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> - <a href="http://blackcatbases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=437_438&products_id=3157" target="_blank">Click here</a> - A Dodo, in fact 2 one standing and another running (could dodo's run?).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This find would put a whole new spin on the background of these rules.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Instead of a Turkey a Dodo and instead of a 'Pilgrim' a pirate/man-o-war,merchant ship crewman. I've loads of crewman from my pirate collection which would do nicely.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So the story is now a crewman of a a ship anchored within an island bay in Mauritius- home of the dodo, background info <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo" target="_blank">Here</a>.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Goes inland to do a spot of dodo hunting for his ships Captain. I know dodo's were flightless but left Flight reaction in as could not be bothered to change it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now it's OK as a solo game but what if someone wants to join in?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Well you could easily make a co-op type game. Here are some Ideas;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Simple co-op - Have 2 Dodos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For a more aggressive and challenging co-op could have the following;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">2 crewmen with 2 Dodos.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">2 crewmen but only 1 Dodo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Some interesting rewards could instill a bit of competitiveness;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Crew member who brings back a Dodo = 1 gold coin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Crew member who fails brings back a Dodo = swabs the deck</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Neither crew member who brings back a Dodo = The whip</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Crew member who brings back a Dodo, but other crew member mysteriously disappears! = Hanged for murder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now as musket fire is going off in all directions someone and not just the Dodo can get hurt!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If crew member in line of site in front of Dodo, he may take a hit see shooting in the rules. Also if a shot at the Turkey misses and a crew member is in line of site, again use shooting in the rules. Use chart below.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's format is that the two
presenters Rob and Alex look at local newspapers where they live in East London,
UK and their home towns. They also ask the listeners to email in web links to
their local news stories.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the stories are
hilarious, some are not even what you class as news . But the best bits are the
readers comments they read out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I my self have emailed them a
couple of articles in my local Bristol newspaper.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take a listen you won't be
disappointed. I recommend you start with their first podcast and work your way
through as some stories they talk about may link to previous articles
reviewed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They can be found on their web
site </span><a href="http://www.lapodcast.net/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #85570c;">www.lapodcast.net</span></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On iTunes (there is also a
link to iTunes on their web site)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you want to email them with
your local news story links, then email them </span><a href="mailto:localanaestheticpodcast@gmail.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #85570c;">HERE</span></span></a> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all the way it is written is clear, understandable (with obvious Americanisms as it's written by one of our American cousins) and flows like a gently meandering brook.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing that caught my eye was the excellent section on wargaming terms, a sort of glossary, including Do's & Don'ts of wargaming. Some of these are a bit 'tongue in cheek' and made me chuckle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The author obviously has considerable years of experience in wargaming and rule writing and I feel would be the type of person you could stop at a wargame show and have a damn good natter with!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is an interesting section on using wargames within the classroom. Including scenarios and learning outcomes. I would love to try these out. Although rounding up the neighbours kids and herding them into my back room to show them my figures maybe a bit inappropriate in these paranoid times we live in! As I am a trainer at work, I could russle up some members of staff and incorporate a wargaming session under the guise of mandatory Conflict Resolution training within the NHS!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then there are the rules and what a cornucopia of rules. Every period, every type and every scale. Something for every one. 1-1 skirmish to massed battalions. Simple 1-2 page affairs to in depth and detailed pages of rules and statistics.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To be honest if you bought this book with it's rules you could get away with not ever buying another.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After every chapter there is an excellent reference bibliography that would have any University lecturer drooling over it's fully detailed layout.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So do I like this book?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">YES it's great and If you ever need one wargame book then this has to be it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My copy is showing signs of wear and it's more thumbed through than a copy of 'Big & Bouncey'!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The price of this hallowed volume has gone down a lot in price and as always can be found here.</span> <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1434330281/ref=rdr_ext_tmb" target="_blank">CLICK for link.</a>DeadGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05222793076342463223noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771918127911582320.post-40350622331743052792011-11-17T14:23:00.002+00:002012-10-15T14:27:15.479+01:00Black West Too - Old West Rules<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some time now I have been looking for a set of rules to go with my figures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of the rules use card systems either normal playing card or specifically made cards with pictures of the relevant figure on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted a set of rules with neither of these!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eventual found some on the Internet, not to sure where though!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have tried to find the original author but with no luck. I wanted his approval to correct minor errors, clarify some parts and add to the rules. If you read this <span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Arthur Hannan please leave me a comment.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">In fact although she does not fight she is an important character as in the movie she actually Gets To The Chopper!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So how could I incorperate her into the game?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">First I decided that she would be a NPC. As I asummed that the players would want their characters to generaly run around and shoot at things!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So here's her card with the new rules.</span><br />

This being my first solo attempt to put on a participation game, in fact any game!<br />
<br />
I needed something quick and easy to learn (to keep the kids happy) and again emphasis on small - you get the theme?<br />
<br />
I decided to trawl one of my favourite sites for inspiration and <a href="http://www.freewargamesrules.co.uk/" target="_blank">freewargamesrules.co.uk</a> came up trumps again.<br />
<br />
Here I found Kings of the Ring! It's a simple game with a board divided up into squares. The idea is to move and fight with your figure using a deck of playing cards. The player who looses all 10 endurance tokens is knocked-out. The combination of suit and colour determines the direction of movement and punches.<br />
<br />
With the rules you get a ready to print-out board. But looking at some of the home-made boards in the rules pages I decided to build my own.<br />
<br />
This was achieved with a hardboard base, lots of balsa wood and a whole tube of ready mixed masonry filler - you know the one?!<br />
<br />
The symbol reminder from the rules was printed out and laminated, one for each contestant. As well as these I gathered together some poker chips brought from a local £1 shop, to be used as endurance tokens and a handful of fantasy miniatures, without weapons of course - play fare! I decided on a fantasy theme as most wargamers have the odd figure lying around.<br />
<br />
After paining the board I added a couple of specific details. The first being the water transfers of crossed swords in the centre of the board. This is to donate 'The Kings Square' used in the additional rules. The next was a barrel of tomatoes for the rotten tomatoes rule - purely for artistic reasons.<br />
<br />
I have also been working on my own additional rules as follows:<br />
<br />
<u>Over the ropes</u><br />
<br />
If a fighter is pushed and is next to the rope/corner and fails to parry it then he is thrown from the ring and misses 2 turns. He can then re-enter the ring on ANY free space adjacent to the rope.<br />
<br />
The free rules can be found <a href="http://golgoisland.free.fr/articles/roisduring/RoisduRing-ENG.pdf">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics.<br />

<br />
This is a sign seen outside a College in Bristol, England.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIPQWzFGfwo/TZXRe30iygI/AAAAAAAAAFc/7NVRUCBPYQ8/s1600/filtonboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIPQWzFGfwo/TZXRe30iygI/AAAAAAAAAFc/7NVRUCBPYQ8/s320/filtonboard.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>DeadGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05222793076342463223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771918127911582320.post-45574104230613280642011-03-24T12:48:00.001+00:002011-03-24T12:53:21.876+00:00Quick and slightly cheating adobe wallsI have an ongoing project of a Mexican/South western town for my 28mm old west figures. I am slowly building the town bit by bit, buying the odd building here and there.<br />
<br />
When placed for gaming something was missing. It just appears all a bit open. So I decided it needed some walls.<br />
<br />
First I thought about making some. Unfortunately I do not have the time, space or an understanding wife to be able to have an ongoing workshop! So decided to buy some. The only ones I could find at the time were online and with adding postage it all started to look a bit pricey!!!<br />
<br />
Then in my local railway model shop I found some <a href="http://www.javis.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage_norm&product_id=9171&category_id=1429&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2">Jarvis sandstone garden walls</a>. I then remembered that on one of the classic spaghetti westerns I had seen similar shaped walls. Presumably made from mud bricks and white washed.<br />
<br />
I brought 6 walls at £1.35 a piece.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PiEmnjAMtZ8/TYs0LFqR42I/AAAAAAAAAFM/fVLRkSdRAQg/s1600/mexwall1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="102" r6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PiEmnjAMtZ8/TYs0LFqR42I/AAAAAAAAAFM/fVLRkSdRAQg/s320/mexwall1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Original Jarvis sandstone garden wall</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The first thing was to give them a heavy dry brush of white, leaving the original sandstone colour in the cracks.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FVLTQNWDTn8/TYs0NGwdDNI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/nLN1wL6a2Dc/s1600/mexwall2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="101" r6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FVLTQNWDTn8/TYs0NGwdDNI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/nLN1wL6a2Dc/s320/mexwall2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">OK simple job done.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now Jarvis scenic pieces always come with their trademark static grass on and sometimes all over them!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Not good for a desert western type setting.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The way I got around this was to apply a liberal coating of PVA glue over the static grass then sprinkle sand over the glue.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rn3WhlFYkfI/TYs0OdqPoFI/AAAAAAAAAFU/sts8emn04Fc/s1600/mexwall3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="86" r6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rn3WhlFYkfI/TYs0OdqPoFI/AAAAAAAAAFU/sts8emn04Fc/s320/mexwall3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Once dried I painted with a sand colour and dry brushed with a cream/bone colour, as above.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I decided to add some lichen, to look like dry scrub. Also found a couple of wooden wheels and a jug to liven up some of the walls with.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zia2Jm41QrA/TYs0QFfHfrI/AAAAAAAAAFY/BHV8OLfR8mc/s1600/mexwall4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" r6="true" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zia2Jm41QrA/TYs0QFfHfrI/AAAAAAAAAFY/BHV8OLfR8mc/s320/mexwall4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Now my gang of despicable desperadoes have something to hide behind, climb over, or stumble into!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately this little job is not quite finished as Jarvis do some <a href="http://www.javis.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage_norm&product_id=11569&category_id=1618&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2">broken sandstone wall</a> sections, which my local railway model shop had run out off. Once re stocked, I will purchase a couple and put them through the same treatment, to add a bit of variety.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Once all the walls are done I will post some pictures of them with the rest of my small town. </div>DeadGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05222793076342463223noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771918127911582320.post-59908323906769872452011-03-11T12:12:00.004+00:002013-01-30T11:24:35.914+00:00Get To The Chopper - Again!<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Last year at<span style="color: purple;"> </span><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.bristolwargaming.co.uk/reveille.html">Reveille</a></span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, I decided to put on a fun little game called, wait for it 'Get To The Chopper'. It was originaly and still is a board game based on the first 'Preditor' movie. I decided to go one further and develop it into a 3D game!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">First of all I needed some suitable figures. Searched high and low but alas none that I could find looked sort of over the top Hollywood style or had the weapons similar to the characters. Then one Sunday at my local wargames club (<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "sans-serif";"><a href="http://www.bristolwargaming.co.uk/index.htm"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lincombe Barn Wargames Society</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">) a fellow gamer was selling off some Warhammer 40K figures. Just what I needed. Some Slight filing here and cut there made their weapons somewhat similar to the film characters. I also had an old plastic Warhammer 40K figure that I added a bow,wooden spear and arrows to.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I already had some Ground Zero Games figures of said alien (under a different name), but these were 25mm and were just too small up to the other figures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Copplestone does some nice figures, but a bit pricey and I only needed one figure.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">E-BAY my saviour. Some one was selling a limited edition 'Hero Clix' predator for £2, bargain!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now I know it's bigger than the other figures, but the film predator was and It also gives a more menacing feel to it!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">OK now needed a target to reach. Yes the chopper. Nothing special just to visualize the extraction point. Well on the way home from Turkey last year I found just the right thing in the duty free shop. A plastic helicopter attached to a tube of sweets (which were pretty tasty as well).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Placed on a wire stand, to simulate hovering and a quick paint job and done. Also made some medi-packs out of round base and couple of old ammo crates.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All I needed to gather then was some tokens to use as life tokens, couple of hands full of D6's and the original character stat sheets from the game, which I laminated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The terrain belonged to the club and was set out as per the original game map/board.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The games went well and especially the kids loved it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It says in the rules that either none or only one of the characters will 'Get To The Chopper' and in all the games this was true. The game needs team work and it took some time for the kids to grasp this!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Anyway a great game and I recommend it for beginners and seasoned wargamers alike.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
