A Christmas Update

Just a quick update today before I head back to looking after children and enjoying Christmas cheer beer. :)

Dystopian Wars

I have assembled and base-coated all the Dystopian Wars figures that I picked up, and purchased a few more. It turns out my FSA force seriously outpointed the CoA, then a friend gave me another large FSA landship! I will supply photos soon.
I have also played a game of Dystopian Wars. It is very similar to Uncharted Seas, which I played a fair bit of when it first came out. There are quite a number of additional rules, however, for things like little fighter wings and shield generators which I have not quite fully got my head around yet!

Terrain

School holidays gives me time to make a big mess in the shed, which means terrain making! I have already done a bunch of extra pieces for my jungle terrain, some trees more appropriate for an orchard, and a forest full of christmas trees. A full post and photos for each of these is coming.

Cheers,
Nathan

Dystopian Wars

I went to visit my friend Jason at Good Games Newcastle on the weekend. The store has just celebrated its first birthday and they had a whole heap of new and interesting stock in as part of a sale. As well as heaps of Malifaux and Infinity, Jason also had a huge pile of Dystopian Wars figures and terrain.
Now, I am a big steampunk fan, and the Dystopian Wars game and miniatures are right up my ally, but I had so-far resisted buying any as I had bought in big to Uncharted Seas and now never play it. However, my will power was low this week, and I somehow convinced myself that other people would play Dystopian Wars if I supplied them with an army...

A review of the figures and game will come soon!
