I hope to be really producing some nice terrain this year in support of some of my tabletop campaigns.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-91060032220388798862017-01-02T11:13:32.216-05:002017-01-02T11:13:32.216-05:00Happy New Year, Paul and it's good to hear fro...Happy New Year, Paul and it's good to hear from you. Yes, I really need to pay more attention to my terrain. I believe that's part of the fun and satisfaction from this hobby is feasting our eyes on a beautiful table with nice buildings, foliage, etc.<br /><br />You're quite right, there is no Holy Grail out there in terms of rules. I love Battlegroup and they are one of my absolute favorite set of rules. They are quite involved however in the amount of time to get a game ready and I always feel as if I've missed a special rule here or there. I guess what I'm thinking is that Battlegroup needs a substantial amount of preparatory time before getting in a game.<br /><br />One of my biggest limitations is actually time - so the search for a rules set I like has the time crunch at the very forefront of the search. Bolt Action is a great set and I tend to play it in 15mm.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing that first aid base! My Ivans have been treated so roughly by the Germans this past year that they need all the help they can get!<br />Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-19209104041580481842017-01-02T11:09:16.771-05:002017-01-02T11:09:16.771-05:00Thanks Darren.

I just bought a bunch of second hand buildings, but dream of the day that I can lash out and buy a lot of much better buildings.<br /><br />All the best on your 2017 resolutions!

We all do it, but its fun to redo it as a collective and I think you'll find it quite cathartic as a diversion. Its also rather economical these days of you shop around a bit too.<br /><br />For your rules dilemma, I dont think there is one true rules set. I currently use Battlegroup for 15mm and both Bolt Action and Chain of Command in 28mm - because they give me different experience sea need different amount of time to play. (PS - Battlegroup Tobruk is coming out this year!)<br /><br />I've yet to really think hard about my resolutions but they are basically keep playing regularly and enjoying the current painting challenge. Add to that, I will be painting you up a nice First Aid base for you to help support all your 15mm Rookies in their Great Patriotic War!<br /><br />All the best for 2017 mate,<br />PaulPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-55535397263093167422017-01-01T12:44:49.856-05:002017-01-01T12:44:49.856-05:00Great post (and it's every gamer's duty to...Great post (and it's every gamer's duty to be rid of their GW stuff...wait, did I say that? ;) )<br /><br />I eagerly await the resolution to your WWII dilemma, and thinking that you should resurrect 'The Last Hundred Yards'Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.com
