Let's Play After The Horsemen Campaign Episode 1 With Card Decks

I've been thinking about starting a new post-apocalyptic campaign using 2 Hour Wargames rule set After The Horsemen so here we are. If you've never played After The Horsemen you can read my review here. I decided I would play as a lone wolf and created a character named Larry Templeton. The encounter for this game would be wandering with a goal of finding an NPC to interact with or to find a settlement.

Federation Commander Reference Rulebook Review

Amarillo Design Bureau released a Reference Rulebook for Federation Commander which contains all the current rules from every module released for the game.

The rulebook can be purchased in either a printed version or as a pdf from Steve Jackson Games e23 website.

Federation Commander Review

Many years ago while I was still in high school I was at a friend's house playing some computer games, I believe Warcraft 2, and as my friends and I were leaving I passed his dad's den and he had a table set up with a big hex grid space map that had Captain Kirk's TOS Enterprise surrounded by two Klingon D-7s. I love Star Trek and didn't know anything about the game that was set up so I asked what it was and if we could play and was told it was called Star Fleet Battles but it was too complicated to teach. We were playing a bunch of different games back then so I let it go but my interest in the game never left.

New Stuff!!

After nearly a year we're back with some new stuff! First up is a quick picture of the first miniature I finished painting from my Empire Of The Dead Kickstarter lot. His name is Iron Head Ned and while my painting skills are around a D- he looks good enough on the table, plus it's better than anyone I play with can paint.

Strat-O-Matic 2013 Windows Game Review

Strat-O-Matic just released their 2013 game which is all the stats from the 2012 season. I bought both the card set as well as the Windows computer version. As far as game play goes it's the same game just one is played with player cards on a table with dice and the other is played fully with the computer. I've had it for about a week now and all I can say is that I love the Windows version. The game tracks all the stats for every play made and then some and for that alone I would recommend the computer version. If you've never played Strat-O-Matic you can click here for my board game review.
