  1. The most interesting Muppet in the world.
  2. Finished the Defenders last night. My wife kept repeating the following mantra: Danny Rand is an idiot. Danny Rand is an idiot. Danny Rand is such an idiot. The ending was unsatisfying, the last 30 seconds that is. Jessica, Luke and Claire rocked. 8/10
  3. So Grognard is not a word I have heard before Rick and Morty: French[edit] Etymology[edit] From grogner (“snarl, grunt, growl, grumble”) +‎ -ard. Noun[edit] grognard m (plural grognards) a grumbler; one who grumbles an old veteran soldier, specifically an old grenadier of the Imperial Guard (Grenadiers à pied de la Garde Impériale); an old complaining soldier English[edit] Etymology[edit] From the French grognard (“grumbler”). Noun[edit] grognard (plural grognards) An old soldier. (games, slang) Someone who enjoys playing older war-games or roleplaying games, or older versions of such games, when newer ones are available. quotations ▼ James is such a grognard, he only plays the original edition of Dungeons and Dragons.
  4. Yes, I will make it work and have faith in the power of air conditioning.... and exaggerated weather forecasts.
  5. Can Grognard Cranky pants be a real person or nickname. Please? I want a shirt with the logo? Maybe it can be an OFCC team last year.....
  6. Ordered 200 toppers for more tokens for the Rampage today. I have a chance to work on them before November......
  7. Come play AoS, Blood Bowl or 4OK. Get your league games in! Or, join us for Infinity.
  8. Possible new Druze Stats: Fatality, X-Visors (with the LGL, oh, my!). I hope Mercs become a full faction in N3....
  9. Set lunch for the aliens on Deep Space 9.

  11. Okay Gents, We have a mission with very little need for Specialists. There is one Classified which you can always switch for secure the HVT and Specialists let you roll twice on the booty chart. Killing is more important. Hope to see you Sunday.
  12. 300 points, unless you want a teaching game. Firefight. See you at 3 PM. Objectives: » To kill more Specialist Troops than the adversary (1 Objec-tive Point). » To kill more Lieutenants than the adversary (2 Objective Points). » To kill more Army Points than the adversary (4 Objective Points). » Acquire more weapons or items from the Panoplies than the adversary at the end of the game (1 Objective Point). CLASSIFIED » Each player has 2 Classified Objectives (1 Objective Point for each one). Special Rules: In this scenario, Retreat! rules are not applied. The whole game table is considered a Designated Landing Area. Any trooper with the Airborne Deployment Special Skill can apply a +3 MOD to his deployment PH Roll. This MOD is cumulative with any other MOD provided by any other rule. Moreover, troopers with any Level of this Special Skill ignore the prohibition of the Deployment and Dispersion rules against deploying inside the enemy Deployment Zone. PANOPLIES There are three Panoplies, placed on the central line of the game table. One of them is in the center of the table and the other two 12 inches from the edges. EFFECTS Allows the trooper to use the Logistics Trait of a Panoply: » By succeeding at a WIP Roll, a trooper can make a Roll on any of the Booty Charts to obtain one weapon or piece of equipment. Once a success has been rolled, that trooper cannot use the Logistics Trait of this piece of scenery again. » Troopers possessing the Booty or the Scavenger Special Skill, or any other Skill which speci es so, don’t need to make the WIP Roll and may automatically make a Roll on any of the Booty Charts. » A trooper in base contact with this piece of scenery may spend one Short Skill of an Order to cancel his Unloaded state. » By succeeding at a WIP Roll, the Specialist Troops can roll twice on any of the Booty Charts but they can only choose one of the results.
  13. In Search of Spock: 9/10. Sam Nimoy does a documentary on his father. I really like it. It is great to paint with on the background and it is on Netflix.
  14. I have the next few days off. The wife has had major surgery. I took FMLA to take care of her. While she is sleeping, and I have no chores, I am slowly painting models. The FO Barid is done. The helmet and layers for the base are left on a Muyib. The next Muyib is waiting as well as the Asiwira. I should hit the Mutts with some paint as well, but that has yet to happen. My goal is to have 300 points Haqq painted before I can assemble and mess with my Battle Kiwi buildings.
  15. @thediceabide Check it out! Infinity Tactics 101: Sensor, Sniffer, and Sat-Lock Or How to combat camo
  16. Well, coming to the club is a great way to encounter several different styles of play from light army hordes to camo spam to pain trains to defensive beat sticks to Rambo bullies.
  17. And thin beads of green stuff to fill any gaps and help hold the arms in place.
  18. I like Thorakites are flank protectors and button pushers, but I wonder if they should be running with Hector.
  19. It seems a better choice to have a Phoenix in an Enomotarchos, but is a huge point sink. 91 points and 3 SWC for a three man team. In general, I prefer spitfires, but a plasma carbine is a better weapon.
  20. Each unit has two huge hitters and also point sinks. Since the hacker needs to push buttons, he may wish to be with Phoenix. I would prefer one hitter, one specialist, and two body guards per Enomotarchos.
