Raindog

I am still working out n the command room.... At game night, I tried to help Justin and Joel with play. I tried them on a stop clock to let them know how long they were playing and help them speed up for OFCC play. Joel had no luck. Justin responded with multiple crits..... Then, I faced Evan. Evan went first and took the command room with a scout. The scout raided the panolpies and ended up with Armor 5! I advanced my Muyib link and shot up his Chassuer, hacker, and antipodes. My one Muyib tanked six shots. I wanted to sacrifice him to take out the antipodes. It worked, but I didn't expect the Muyib to live. Evan moved up his Spez and jumped into combat with one Muyib using smoke. The scout killed the other. For my second turn, I ran up Farzan and kill Uncle V, his antipode controller and his other Spetz. In his final turn, Evan's Spetz killed my Muyib in combat. For mine, I ran up my Ghulams into the Command room area. One ran in, discovery and shot his scout with a crib to win the room. I won 6-3.

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. The movie is dynamic and really funny, but don't expect realistic action sequences. It is not as good as the first, but it was worth seeing on opening night. 7/10.

Thank you Jay, Justin, Pete, Justin, Joel, and Evan for attending and thanks to everybody who helped Bronson bring items back to the club.

Hey, my daughter was not sick, sleeping propped up on the couch last night, so I could paint! The resin bases for my new fancy MAS mini Kiosks are painted and matted. Heck, I even assembled them! Now, it is back the command room. I have spend so much time on this piece of terrain......... I hope Chris Matthews will be proud when I am done with it!

Camping is good. I hope you have no rain. ITS are good, I hope you crush in Tacoma Petes are awesome, so his awesome will make up for your absences.

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen, We are going to change gears. It is OFCC prep time. Please bring a 200 point list with one 4 point spec op. The mission is Armory. Please bring your awesome selves and try to get in two games.

The easiest way to start is to get the basic trooper SWC box, like Alguacils for Nomads. That way, you can have a basic fire team for sectorials or at a minimum have basic troops with medium and long range guns. I also recommend looking at the MayaCast podcast and listen to what they recommend for lists on a budget for the factions you like. If you don't know yet, proxy models and see what you like.

Or like... Zombies appear on" 1-2 - (2) Camo Zombies - It is coming through the sewers, dirt earth, duct work, and has to be discovered to appear. 3-5 - (3) Heavy Zombies - 4-4 MV, 3 ARM/BTS, 2 W, and 15 CC 15 Ph, Poison. 10's for all other stats. 6-10- 5+x for Zombie Gen. 11-15- 1+x for Zombie Gen. 16-20 - Nothing.

Last Knight: Clive Owen, Morgan Freeman. A mish-mass of Byzantine, French, and Japanese Middle Ages culture. The movie drags in the middle. It is trying to be 300 and Braveheart, but falls short. 6/10.

Best ending gunfight in a Western.

Last night was the finale of Jay's Spring League. I must say it was super successful. The game nights were full. Players brought tasty treats. We all learned a different way to play Infinity using the 20 x 20 system. I think my play improved from playing in the league. Thank you Jay! I played two games. The first was against Pete. Pete has a brutally efficient 15 Order vanilla Aleph list. We have not played in sometime, so the battle was on. The mission was to repair a drop ship, jump in, and escape. The secondary mission was to kill the enemy LT. Pete plays a superior game. His tactics are more than solid. Making matters worse, Pete was on a crit streak. I could not win roll offs, so I decided not to play the firefight game and went for the scenario. That did not go well as Pete pulled my models off the board one by one, so I knew he had won. I shook hands at his play, but said, I wanted to play on. I wanted him to truly earn the win, so I played the my end game of denying Pete the win. I blasted the drop ship as it was about launch. The game was four turns, so he got out to repair it. In the final turn, as he repaired and relaunched the ship, I crit it in close combat with my Muyib (in the dogged state while still fighting a Myrmidon in CC) and then shot it with my smart missile launcher in direct fire mode. The ship failed to launch. I had three models board, he had lost 2? With no LTs dead, the game was a tie. It felt like a win to me. In the second game, I played Jeff and his French. Jeff had a wicked team of Briscards with a sniper and two heavy rocket launchers in a fire team on high ground with a good view of the drop ship. He put a picket of mines and camo guys around the ship as well. He did not guard his flanks. One Farzan went on a run and took the high building commanding the center of the table. Two of my Mutts died running up the center after I failed to throw smoke around a corner, but the other two made a run up the other flank and got up into chain rifle range and blasted the Briscard Link. One went down. That was all I needed. The Asiwria/Muyib link ran up the same flank and hid in the smoke until they could slice the pie and kill the Briscards one at a time. We called the game there. I was well behind his lines and inches from his LT with orders to spend.

The shifting issue also causes me concern. More games and time will tell. Perhaps, I am missing a trick as well. PS. We missed you at drinks after gaming.

Tonight's tables

Review of the Infinity Terminus Segments. The mats made their debut at Game Night tonight. Guys, what did you think of them and the riser platforms?

I will be opening the joint early, so I can work on projects. Cheers, RD

Well, instead of painting models, I wandered off the grid and found an old project: a cargo container and painted it. Then, I slowly filed the interiors of the new MAS kiosks, so the acrylic insert would fit. Then, I started a whole new project that I will unveil tomorrow. Finally, I added more paint to my command room project.

I plan on being there!

So there are little acrylic signs with resin bases meant to sit on the ground as mini-kiosks. The signs do not fit in the resin slots. Seriously. The acrylic is bigger than the slot. With careful filing on the inside of the base, I may get the sign to properly fit. Meh.

Hello All, My Micro Arts Kickstarter Arrived today. It was only six months late. There were a few freebies thrown in (a car, a van, some stickers and logos). The detail on the mats is very nice, but the edges are all slightly frayed. Meh. I will bring it on Sunday, so we call all look at it.

Hope to see you on Sunday! Plus, you owe me a beer!

Olive green where the orange traditionally is painted. Gray (blue tone with white hight lights) in the greaves and holsters. Jade as the standout color for the tech glow, tabards, etc.....

Stranger Things: I felt manipulated watching the show. It had a check list of memes and homages as I watched it. Still not bad, but bit too horror for my taste. 7.5/10

Olive green, jade, gray.
