A blog about my interest in all things military, wargaming and last but not least my military vehicle adventures.

Picture Of The Week - No 64 - Star Citizen - MISC Hull C
-
Commentary: Often called the most common ship in the (Start Citizen) galaxy, the Hull C is the most-produced of the range and is considered by many to be the most versatile. Intended to hit the ‘sweet spot’ between the smaller single-person transports and the massive super-freighters that make up the rest of the range, the Hull C offers the expansive modularity of the larger ships while still retaining a modicum of the maneuverability allowed the low end of the range.

'Infamy, Infamy!' At The Vapnartak Wargames Convention In York
At the Vapnartak wargames convention at the York Racecourse on Sun 2nd Feb, my friend John Savage who goes to the Harrogate Wargames Club put on a superb looking demo game (with some help from other members) using the shortly to be released 'Infamy, Infamy!' rules by the Too Fat Lardies. Here's a few pictures of a couple of the games that were played.

New Blog Header Picture - Picture Of The Week - No 63
Just changed the header on the Blog to this fabulous (cropped) one showing an awesome looking sci-fi tank.
This picture speaks to me... It encapsulates beautifully my interests; wargaming, sci-fi, military vehicles, great artwork, simply love it. Not sure of the original author, whoever he is, I hope he doesn't mind me using it :)-

BEAMSTRIKE RULES & SUPPLEMENTS
I have a great affection for the Beamstrike sci-fi rules (which I contributed to). They are described as: "Beamstrike', a free, open source miniatures wargame developed for 15mm Science fiction figures. Inspired by 'Imperial Commander', Beamstrike rules are comprehensive, yet fast moving, there are ample examples of weapon systems, vehicles and equipment. You can use the background universe provided, yet the rules are generic enough to be used in your favourite science fiction setting."
Sadly with the demise of the Yahoo groups and the disappearance of the wed page that the author Neil Copper used to have, it is now difficult to locate all the supplements that were created. I have decided to remedy that by uploading all the Beamstrike files into dropbox so they are downloadable :)
#1 Core Rules - version 1.22 - author Neil Cooper.
#2 Quick Reference Sheet - version 1-2
#3 Alien Supplement - version 1.2 - authors Neil Cooper and Din Clarke,.
#4 Imperial Era Supplement No 1 - author Neil Cooper.
#5 Star Wars Conversion - author Neil Cooper.
#6 Urban War (draft version) - author Neil Cooper.
#7 Counters & Templates.
#8 Turn Monitor Sheet.
#9 Army Record Sheet.
#10 Visual Record 1.
If you are looking for an alternative set of 15mm Sci-Fi rules, Fubar Sci-Fi Expanded are worth a try, they are currently my rule set of choice.
