Well, I know I'm trying to stick to just the three gaming projects (Flames of War, Bolt Action, and Saga), but I was unable to resist getting involved in two more projects this week, one historical and one non-historical.
The store's copies of Musket and Tomahawk from Tomahawk Studios (makers of Saga) came in this week, and the game looks better than I imagined. Now we're looking for good miniatures; the best chance of getting these will be the Conquest Miniatures line just purchased by Warlord (the Bolt Action guys). This game is both French and Indian War and the American Revolution (called American War of Independence across the pond), and allows for armies to play in both periods. The army lists are substantial: for example, I'll be able to run American colonists with up to 50% French forces, and some Indian forces mixed in as well (most of the armies are able to take Indians, plus they make up their own army). There are also options for German Mercs. It's a pretty neat system with a card based element.
I was also able to make a great trade with a friend at the shop to get some Space Wolves to try out the new Warhammer 40k edition (6th, I've played since 1st). I had gotten out of the game for a few years, but the community at the shop is getting stronger and the game has been well received. I feel the improvements make the game fun and I'm having a great time. There was an intro tournament at the shop this past Saturday and I had a lot of FUN, which is the purpose of wargames.
I'll be posting some pics of my finished projects soon. My initial stage of Bolt Action (around 700-800 points) is almost complete, and I'll be posting some Flames of War as I get them done as well.
On another note, I was accepted into University of Tulsa's College of Law last week (a not so easy feat). I will be a first year law student in the next two weeks, and my posting and activity may be slim. I'll keep everyone posted here.
