About The Wargaming World of Nozza

Welcome to The Wargaming World of Nozza. This is my blog dedicated to tabletop miniature gaming, storytelling, and the joy of getting figures on the table.

This is a space where games aren’t just played - they’re experienced, recorded, and shared.

What you’ll find here

At its heart, this blog is about games played and stories told. Most posts revolve around:

  • After Action Reports (AARs) – detailed write‑ups of games, from setup to conclusion
  • Campaigns – linked scenarios that build ongoing narratives over multiple sessions
  • Rules exploration – trying out different systems, often adapted or remixed to suit the setting
  • Miniatures and terrain – the characters and battlefields that bring it all to life

Expect a mix of historical, fantasy, and sci‑fi games, often sharing the same table, figures, or rules with a bit of creative tweaking.

A narrative-first approach

The focus here isn’t just on who won or lost - it’s on how the game unfolded.

I’m particularly interested in:

  • Cinematic moments
  • Unexpected twists
  • Close-run decisions
  • The little stories that emerge naturally during play

If a game leaves you with something worth retelling, it’s done its job.

A flexible hobby

Like many gamers, I enjoy experimenting:

  • Using one ruleset for multiple settings
  • Proxying miniatures to fit different worlds
  • Blending themes and ideas to create something new

You’ll often see familiar systems used in slightly unfamiliar ways - because half the fun is making them your own.

Why this blog exists

Partly for my own enjoyment (a way to document my games, campaigns, and hobby progress etc) and partly to share ideas with others.

If something here inspires you to:

  • Try a new system
  • Start a campaign
  • Dust off neglected miniatures
  • Or just play more games

…then it’s doing exactly what it was meant to do.

In short

A blog about rolling dice, telling stories, and making the most of the tabletop.

Thanks for stopping by and if you’ve got figures sitting unplayed, this is your sign to get them on the table.

First game of 'Exploit Zero - Mission Critical'

Image
Expolit Zero - Mission Critical by Patrick Todoroff is a set of miniature wargaming rules designed for small-scale, fast-paced sci-fi skirmishes.  Designed for two players, the game is intended for use with various sci-fi settings between elite three-person teams - known as Direct Action Units (DAUs). Each player commands a DAU comprising a Ronin (ranged specialist), a Razor (melee expert), and a Specialist (medic/hacker). Players engage in missions with hidden objectives, meaning each team may pursue different goals within the same environment. The game employs a streamlined action system where each operative has access to three dice - a D6, D8, and D10 - allocated to perform actions such as movement, attacks, or hacking attempts. Successes are typically achieved on rolls of 4 or higher. Also, a free movement action is allowed as well and this can be substituted for other actions. The game incorporates stealth deployment, allowing units to remain concealed until specific act...

The Overgrown Factory

Image
Buried deep within the jungle and long forgotten by the galaxy, this ruin was once a Separatist droid foundry  - an industrial hub designed to churn out battle droids around the clock during the height of the Clone Wars. Back then, it echoed with the clank of metal feet and the cold hum of assembly lines. Now? It’s quiet , choked by vines and wrapped in rot. But the jungle hasn’t buried it. Not completely. And rumour says there’s still something alive inside . The Wayfinder crew spent hours trudging through suffocating undergrowth , machetes swinging, boots sinking into moss and mud. The air buzzed with heat and insects. It was the kind of place that smelled of rust, rot, and old wars . Finally, the jungle parted and the target emerged -  a skeletal factory , its structure buckling under the weight of time. Concrete walls split with roots , shattered walkways led nowhere, and thick vines strangled what was left of the upper decks. Nature was reclaiming every bolt. But not e...

Ghosts of the Clone Wars

Image
The Wayfinder  tore free of the pirate-choked trade station, hull scorched and shields flickering - a battered victor limping into the void. For a heartbeat, silence reigned. Then fate struck like a disruptor bolt. Brains was locking in the hyperspace jump when the console erupted in crimson light. “Contact!” he barked. The scans told a grim story: hull plating peeled like old armor, molten edges yawning into vacuum, blast scars etched deep. Yet - against all odds - sensors whispered of breathable pockets and a reactor barely clinging to life. Cap’in leaned in, eyes narrowing at the scan.   “That’s… Separatist tech.” The words hung heavy. A relic from the Clone Wars. A droid carrier that should’ve been dust decades ago. A phantom adrift beyond forgotten battle lines. Brains let out a low whistle.   “Those nav cores and tactical banks? Locked military-grade. Worth a fortune. Enough to buy a fleet.” Spike folded his arms.   “And enough to paint a target ...
