I’m taking a plunge into a few skirmish-level games that have come out over the past few years, some of which I picked up some time ago, others I just picked up.<\/p>\n

Necromunda<\/p>\n

\"\"I don’t want to think of myself as a Games Workshop fanboy, since I’ve pretty much given up on keeping up with whatever version of Warhammer 40K is currently out there.\u00a0 Even Kill Team is less interesting to me.\u00a0 But Necromunda has always been an interesting game, both background and core rules, which plays much like earlier editions for 40K.\u00a0 This and Blood Bowl are the only two GW games that I’m planning on playing.<\/p>\n

Marvel Crisis Protocol<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If anything this scratches the itch for superhero gaming, more than the Marvel Champions card game does.\u00a0 There’s nothing wrong with the card game, I just bought too many supplements for it.\u00a0 For MCP I’m sticking to the core set and a handful of supplements that I find interesting.\u00a0 I’m probably not getting Thanos, for example.<\/p>\n

Five Parsecs From Home<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had picked up the previous two versions of this game from the designer through Wargames Vault, and was about to embark on a campaign, when I found out the the 3rd edition was being put out by Modiphius, the game company that currently has the Star Trek and Dune RPG licenses.\u00a0 This has proven to be a fun one to play, a solo skirmish game, miniatures agnostic, which allows me to mix and match miniatures for my crew and adversaries from ones that I own, thought I bought minis for the next game that I’ll probably use for this one, too.<\/p>\n

Stargrave<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After watching a lot of review videos, I picked this one up, along with the miniatures sets, even though this one is also miniatures agnostic.\u00a0 Like 5PFH, this one involves creating a crew to run missions, though this one is designed to be played with at least 2 players, though I may have found a solution around that.<\/p>\n

Hostile Tactical AI<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This card set emulates an opponent in 2-player skirmish games, like all the ones listed above.\u00a0 I haven’t tried playing with it yet, but I hope to soon, with one of the games systems listed above, or possibly with Memoir ’44 and the Commands and Colors games in my collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
