The Wanderers - Samurai skirmish using FFOL

-
Wandering Ronin Samurai are venturing through the countryside towards a local village. They have been called to help solve a bandit problem, but who’s that hiding in the undergrowth?
 
All the Ronin had to do was to get out of the other side of the village. The Bandits would be rewarded for each Ronin they knocked 'Out of the Fight'.

The Village
Both sides spent the first turn moving towards the centre of the village. The Bandits rallying at the Torii gate, whilst local villagers looked on.

The Bandits

The Ronin
The second turn saw both groups approach each other with weapons drawn. A couple of Ronin split off into the fields. Kanjani (Bandit's 2nd in command) raced after them.

At the Torii Gate, the sides clashed. The leader of the bandits (Arashi) duelled with one of the Ronin, inflicting a wound and knocking his opponent down. Temaki (Leader of the Ronin) fought a couple of bandits, forcing them back with a shock token a piece.

Mayhem in the village
At the end of the second turn, both sides had a figure prone and suffering from a wound.

The start of the third turn saw the Bandits activate first. Kanjani engaged a Ronin in a sword fight, wounding and knocking down his opponent. A follow-up attack on another Ronin ended in stalemate.

At the Torii Gate, the situation took a turn for the worse for the Bandits. Those armed with Nagitana and Yari were put out of the fight by the Ronin.

Arashi charged down a Ronin and engaged in a sword fight. Unfortunately, he was knocked down and suffered a wound for his efforts.

With only two team members left, the situation looked dire for the Bandits. The Ronin on the path took the opportunity to slip away.

For the Bandits, Arashi failed his 'Recovery' roll and stayed prone. In the fields, Kanjani found himself facing two Ronin in a sword fight (one of the Ronin used the Queen of Hearts to recover a wound). Kanjani found himself knocked out of the fight.

In the fifth and final turn, Arashi used the Queen of Hearts card to recover his wound. Having his two actions left, he raced after the Ronin. Unfortunately, his efforts in a sword fight saw him knocked down and wounded again.


A devastating win for the Ronin, with the Bandits only having one character on the table at the end.

We're all going on a Tribble hunt!

-

Inspired by the 'Attack Tribble' that appeared in an episode of Star Trek: Picard, I found some suitable miniatures that would lend themselves to gaming. The Attack Tribble from Star Trek: Picard I purchased these Triblite sculpts (designed by Lost Heresy) from a TwistedPinnacle3D on Etsy . The sculpts needed a little TLC upon arrival, as a few of the Triblites were misprinted. Also, some of the base rims had broken and neded repairing. Triblite Queen and Swarms protect their nest. More Triblite Swarms. I managed to create some Xenos Rampant stats for my Klingons and Triblites and had a quick game with them both. Klingons attack the Queen. Triblite Swarms charge some Klingons. Klingons find themselves surrounded by Triblites.

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

Woohoo, first game of 2024! This time we dived into the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. Picking the first scenario ' The Waterin' Hole ' as the basis for the game. Whilst on a manhunt for the 'Bad Hombres' gang, Marshal Bill and his posse have stopped for some rest and much needed meal. What the Marshal doesn't know is that the 'Bad Hombres' led by Ricardo are about to spring an ambush in the canyon. The posse start surrounding the camp fire. The 'Bad Hombres' start on the high ground in the canyon. Also, they took up the option of  placing a gang member in reserve, with the caveat that he turns up at one end of the canyon within the first three turns. Marshal Bill would get 5 Renown points for killing or capturing Ricardo. Also, he would get 1 Renown point for each of the 'Bad Hombres' killed or captured. The 'Bad Hombres' had different victory conditions. Ricardo couldn't leave the

28mm 3d printed Star Trek style warp shuttle

Earlier this year, there was a Kickstarter run by 2nd Dynasty for some 28mm compatible spaceships. I was pleased to see that one of the ships (a shuttle) was available as a Warp Shuttle variant and looked very suitable for Star Trek. However, my initial interest was then dampened by the fact that the Kickstarter was just for the files and that you would have to print the ships yourself. Not having a 3d printer, I let my interest wane. My interest was recently renewed by a couple of threads on Lead Adventure Forum and The Miniatures Page. Another wargamer had one of the 2nd Dynasty ships custom printed for him. More importantly the printer they used was based in the UK. Having found their website ( https://www.proteus3dmodelling.com/ ), I sent them an email asking if they could print the Warp Shuttle version. Imagine my joy when they replied with a yes! Proteus 3D Modelling were very professional and kept informed with updates and pictures of my shuttle. Additionally, they consulte
