There are many different ways to base miniatures and after trying out a bunch of them I've come up with a way that is pretty easy to do and is quick but still looks good on the table.
I just finished painting up some old US Marines from Warlord GamesBolt Action line. These metal minis painted up pretty nice and I'm very happy with them.
This year is the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War 1 so I figured it was time to get into the trenches. I finished 5 early war Germans I bought from Renegade Miniatures.
In my last post about Federation Commander, I played a simple solo game against a human opponent. Federation Commander is designed to be played against a live player but there are a few scenarios designed to be played solo. Today I'll be showing an After Action Report I played solo against Robot Rules. To be fair playing with the Robot Rules isn't as good as a human opponent and is a bit limiting but it is a good way to be able to play solo or to practice with a new ship, weapon, or strategy before you face an opponent.
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.
Amarillo Design Bureau released a Reference Rulebook for Federation Commander which contains all the current rules from every module released for the game. If you play Federation Commander I would recommend that you buy it for a few different reasons. The rulebook can be purchased in either a printed version or as a pdf from Steve Jackson Games e23 website.
