Well some of you may know that my personal situation has changed drastically in the past few months... living in Dorset now, I have no where to paint or play and most of my stuff is in storage several miles away but I am interested in the One Page Rules fantasy skirmish and Grimdark Future Firefight (free equivalent of Kill Team) so will try to paint a couple of small groups of figures for those games. I also hear that Studio Tomahawk are bringing out a WW2 skirmish game this year so I would like to get some stuff painted for that if I can.

Fair enough. Its been £3 for a very long time

Bit of a hefty document but this tidies up and clarifies and lot of things for one of my favourite sets of rules. It also House Rules out the infamous "gun line" of multiple magic users.

Unsure whether to put a force together for this using 28mm plastics or use the large number of 15mm sci fi figures that are in my painting queue...

Always been curious about this type of game, partly because of the chance of using some of the great small scale buildings that are available as terrain. I have the old Aeronef rules tucked away somewhere.

Ouch, and then more supplements, card decks and dice afterwards. No thanks i will stick with Star Breach

Sadly my painting output has been reduced by having to drink lots of beer whilst relaxing in the hot tub on my hols

Did I see something in the advanced rules about one Light (Infantry) Division being allowed for the Brits?

At 6mm my rubbish painting skills only allow me to create units that look vaguely recognisable from a distance, with names written underneath the base just in case i forget whats what

I am looking forward to the sci fi "Xenos Rampant" so that i can use the ton of 15mm figures i have

These MDF spaceships look like a cost effective alternative to regular miniatures:

There is an interesting article on Billion Suns website about suggested ship sizes which includes this advice:

"Having your ships mounted on pegs or magnets so that you can temporarily remove the ship allows you to leave the base and flight peg in play, but remove the bulk of the miniature until it can again fit. Having a marker on the base that identifies the heading of the ship allows you to rotate the ship to a place it can fit without losing game state information"

I know very little apart from watching a couple of Youtube videos  but the general message seems to be that any models will do and utility ships and tiny fighters are just as important as larger ships,  even more so in smaller games.

I have an old fleet from Firestorm Armada and have ordered merchant ships plus fighters from Brigade
