Putting Things Together

It's been a few days since my last post.  I find that sometimes life gets in the way of gaming, which I am sure we all suffer from.  This past weekend I went backpacking, and am still catching up a bit from that.

I have received a lot of comments on the blog thus far, and from those comments I have a lot of info to sift and sort through.  I am eager to receive my Liberation Miniatures order so I can start painting figures and start hosting some small games.  Using Force on Force will make things a bit easier as many of my gaming buddies are somewhat familiar with those rules.  Currently, in 15mm, I am working on a few projects* that all have Ambush Alley/Force on Force as the rules of choice, so expanding into this period using Force on Force is a natural progression.  There has been some mention of Irish Wars ratings already appearing on the Ambush Alley blog, I will have to check into those soon.

There have also been some comments pointing me towards more realistic Irish terrain.  Looks like I will need to not use my fir trees and add some additional deciduous types to the mix.  No worries there, easy enough to do.  Otherwise, once I have added a few buildings, I am pretty happy with what I have, mostly using the ESLO products I bought on eBay.

Next post should be a bit more on unit ratings within Force on Force for this period.  I hope to get that post up over the next few days.  My goal for this blog is to keep it fresh with new posts at least once a week, but we'll have to see how much real life interferes with that!
