This Geek Week...

Finished up the 2 spare Panzer III's I had.  An L and N respectively, escorts for my Tiger...

Miniatures/Modeling/Hobby:
- Finished up the two Panzer III's from Flames of War that will act as an escort for my Tiger in Mid War.

- Played a dry run of FoW.  1710 MidWar, US Rangers vs my HG Panzerkompanie, and it could not have gone worse for the US!  Planes did nothing, no reserves ever showed up (delayed reserves), and once the Pz IV's took out the Shermans, they just casually rolled onto the objective.  Not a single German casualty...


Card/Board Games:
- Played a game of the Pathfinder ACG.  Sajan ended up dying due to extremely crappy rolls.  Now I have to redo his deck and start over...


Video Games:
- Been playing a bit of War Thunder lately, and I've actually been having a lot of luck with the US planes.  I've also been playing a lot of German tanks as well.

Guild Ball - Makin' Plans!


I've been following a game called Guild Ball for awhile now, since it was first posted on Kickstarter.  I chose not to back it for a couple of reasons, all of which had nothing to really do with Steamforge Games, but rather due to past experience backing games on KS.  Nevertheless, I've been super excited for this game since day 1!  Steamforge Games is a small company based in the UK, so it will take some before the game hits US shores, but I'm having a hard time containing myself!  I may look into buying a ton of stuff and seeing about having it shipped over just to get my hands on it sooner!  It has been a long, long, LONG time since I have been this excited and passionate about a game too, which is really refreshing.  There are a number of reasons why I'm excited, namely, I'm huge soccer fan,  Ive played it all of my life, up to a bit of indoor stuff in college, and it is the one sport I continue to follow to this day.  I'm also a bit of a fan of fantasy sports games, and I find every gamer should have at least one light, fun, sports game in their arsenal, that they can just pull out for a match every now and then.  As I'm sure many of you know, I am an avid planner, and one of the things I like to do when I start posting about a new game is to outline some of my plans.  So, below are just a few of my plans for Guild Ball, as well as showing off some of the teams and minis I like...

This Geek's Week...

Painted FoW Sherman, ready to invade Sicily alongside my Rangers!



It's been awhile since I've posted, and while this feels like a pretty long post, truthfully not a whole lot has been going on...
