Two hour wargames dry erase
#TWO HOUR WARGAMES DRY ERASE PLUS#
I've got quite a few of the Reaper Bones figures painted (and many, many more to go) plus an unopened box of Dwarven Forge terrain.

Only got as far as getting the stickers applied, but I'm hoping to get in a few games, albeit with a full hex marked table and 28mm figures rather than the blocks and board. I picked up the board game this summer, hoping to get my ancients fix while in temporary housing awaiting the completion of our home. We're also thinking of trying a fantasy version of Hail Caesar as well.

I think we're both ready to move beyond straight up slugging matches, but our first attempts at scenarios pulled from the old Tabletop Teasers weren't quite satisfying. We have a good handle on the rules, but Mike and I have been talking about making a few adjustments. I'd like to get some tanks on the table too (something I think Fireball Forward does well), so hoping I can get both some panzers and T-34's put together and painted up quickly too. We just need to get them finished up and a few of the markers and flags necessary for the game and we can give an infantry game a whirl. My soviets are ready to go, and Mike's Germans are nearly so. I've really enjoyed every game of Fireball Forward I've played at cons, and my buddy Mike and I are jonesing to get it on the table. Still, I've heard lots of good things about SAGA, and the demos I've played at cons have been fun, so I'm looking forward to take a deeper dive into the rules. It's long been my back burner side project, and I would have preferred to get some dark ages battles before the game line had wrapped up it's entire run.

I finally have enough painted figures to give SAGA a try. Urgh! Scheduling this year really put a crimp in convention attendance (we moved into our new house during Fall In), but I did manage to get a few new friends to join us for Historicon and they're already making plans to attend again this summer. I'm quite eager to push some lead around in the new year. That said, we did play quite a bit of King of Tokyo and Pandemic. One fewer than last year! Again, I spent 5 months in temporary housing with no room for wargaming. I also managed to resist adding new periods to the lead pile which is good, and with a mountain if lead already on hand I think I'm going to focus on getting it painted up. I failed to get up to 6 divisions per side for Hail Caesar, but I did manage to get a pair of basic forces for SAGA completed, and I made a dent on my Reaper Bones. Hoping to get back to 2012 totals in 2014. It was an eventful year with a move to a new house and a new job which didn't leave a lot of time for painting. Painting Totals for 2013 28mm foot: 111, 28mm mounted: 17 which is about half of what I knocked out last year. I'll need to find time to polish off this monster in 2014 too!

Time to wrap up what I managed to accomplish in 2013 and make some plans for 2014. Is this a trend, or is everyone I know just old and ditching the drinking (and subsequent hangovers) for quieter pursuits? Even a bunch of coworkers broke out Catan and Cards Against Humanity for the New Year. Checking my various social media feeds after getting home I saw tons of game playing across the board, even by people who aren't "gamers" per se.

The next day I joined my buddies for our 2nd annual Axis & Allies game. After we returned home to put our boy to sleep, my wife and I broke out "Command and Colors: Ancients" for its inaugural game, finishing up just before the ball dropped. After we wrapped up, we piled into the car and went to a family party (kids downstairs, 'rents upstairs) where various party games were broken out. So are "games for New Year's Eve" a new tradition or something I've just aged into? My son insisted on a game of Smash Up after I got home from work on the 31st (pretty fun game, although I haven't figured out the trick to getting the Wizards to be useful yet).
