It's a ways off, but with everything postponed due to Covid I'm hoping there will be demos of this at Adepticon 2022.

DeepWars / Quarantine Project
« on: April 13, 2021, 09:54:59 pm »
Some pics of my Deep Wars project over quarantine.
I was struggling to find a carry case that wouldn't destroy the models for that day when we can play again, and I settled on crystal fortress. I wouldn't put it in my checked luggage to Adepticon or anything, but the kit for magnetizing the models into the case works well for keeping them relatively stable and well protected. Also displays them nicely. Now I just need to wait for the carry straps to come back into stock.

Quick public service announcement. When Greg talks about the book series he's reading at the beginning of the podcast, he's talking about the "Ketty Jay" series. He is not, I repeat NOT, saying "The Kenny G Series". That is all.

Space Naval Games / Star Wars Armada - Clone Wars
« on: November 03, 2020, 12:08:30 pm »
So, who is excited for this? I'm definitely going to pre-order the Separatist starter set. What I'm seeing of Wave 2 looks pretty nice as well. I like the idea of a one-faction starter to let folks who are interested join with Clone Wars without having to buy the Rebel/Imperial starter. I'm just hoping they release the ships from the starters as individual blisters.

Space Naval Games / Re: X-Wing Scenario: The Great Escape
« on: September 24, 2018, 01:10:27 pm »
Thanks for the game and the write-up! You covered everything really well. The little loop-de-loop in the early game really did you in. I was using FO Ties, which probably didn’t help either. The Falcon was surprisingly nimble. I think part of the problem was also that the Falcon can only fire once per turn. That means my 3 Ties are tripling the Falcon’s rate of fire. The Ties have a lot less dice, but it adds up.

Thanks for writing all this up! Spoiler alert! The Nereids did not do as well in the second game. It got bloody fast, but was still a lot of fun.

I like the stealth mechanic in X-Wing the most. It's always difficult to hide something from your opponent on the tabletop and the X-wing solution seems to fit the need without being overly complex or breaking the game.
