Core Space

Posted on by

This has to be the most I’ve gotten hooked on a new game in quite a while.

In the two weeks since picking up the core box set, I’ve read the rules, set up the map, and painted almost all of the miniatures that came with my initial order.

I even played the example scenario and found the game pretty easy to pick up and play.

I managed to paint the extra crew set that I want to use in my campaign playthrough, they should be ready to go sometime this week.

I do wonder how this got past my radar on Kickstarter all those years ago, though.  The Kickstarter ran in 2017, the game shipped in 2019.

To-Do List

Posted on by

A bunch of games came in recently, and I really want to play all of them as soon as possible.

But that’s not happening.

Links for the current bunch of games that came in:

Right now I’m focusing my time and energy on Core Space, reading the rule book, priming and painting the miniatures, and watching YouTube tutorials on how to play.

We’ll see if I can get a scenario in this weekend.

Go Ahead Punk!

Talk about timing:

I recently rewatched the original Dirty Harry a week or so ago, and then this arrived at the office.

It’s for a game called Go Ahead Punk! and is of course based on the Dirty Harry movie.

The game itself hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m looking forward to playing it on this cool play mat.

Senjutsu

While I’ve always been interested in Feudal Japan, I blame the recent Shogun series on FX for me looking for and finding this game.

This is a very quick play (20-30 minutes) deck building skirmish game representing duels between 2-4 rival samurai.

It comes with miniatures, cards, terrain, and map boards to play out the duels.

There’s also a solo campaign along with AI opponents for solo play.

This was a Kickstarter that I missed, and the base game is all that I was able to find on Amazon.com.

I did manage to find a couple of expansions that looked interesting, with other samurai/characters to play with.

And I’ve found a couple of 3D printer files for tokens and terrain for this game.

I hope to get to the solo campaign sooner rather than later.

Upcoming: August 20 – 26

Like I did with my Sports Gaming Blog, I hope this list will act as a prompt for my other gaming.

Paint miniatures for Cyberpunk Red Combat Zone
Paint miniatures for Star Trek Adventures
Setup Star Trek Adventures Captains Log RPG: TOS Era Captain
Setup new crew for Five Parsecs From Home

That should be plenty for the week,

New Game Table

Behold!

This was 3D printed and can be expanded if the need arises.

It’s currently 24″ x 32″, which is big enough for most of the games I currently play, sports and otherwise.

And in a IDGAF thought, any and all tabletop skirmish games will be played on this surface, regardless of the suggested playing area.  Because 36″ x 36″ is a bit big, for me.

Been a while, hasn’t it?

So, what’s been going on since last year?

I managed to start that Legendary Kingdoms solo game, but haven’t gotten very far.  I hope to continue playing fairly soon.

My crew for Five Parsecs from Home got a little boring, so I’m going to restart the game with a new campaign and a new crew.

I’ve sold off practically all of my Warhammer 40K armies (Guard, Ork, Necron, Marines) to an online store, I have maybe a handful of figures for Kill Team, or…

I’m looking into a newer, miniatures-agnostic system called Fistful of Lead, specifically the Galactic Heroes version, from Wiley Games.  This new system will allow me to use whatever miniatures I have laying around and finally have those battles we’ve always wanted to see, like Federation crew vs. Mandalorians.

Okay, maybe battles that *I’ve* wanted to see.

Speaking of miniatures, I’ve been printing them out on my resin printer and have way more than I need for any system.

I’ve also shelved a few games (Car Wars, Battletech, Blood & Plunder, etc) while I try to focus on what I actually want to play between these types and my sports games…

I’ll have it all figured out by the time we reach the Frontier.

*klaxon alert*

What’s that?

The Frontier.
