How do you keep track of your battles?

Its wednesday. I was wondering how everyone keeps track of their battles? Sometimes people write it on a sig, sometimes a notebook or forum. I have been using the 40K Nation Battle Board.

Here it is.

Register to add your games make them part of the worldwide tally! Cranberry Muffinman and Emperors Canaries have been working very hard to make this dream a reality. So check it out.

Its Sunday! : Editorial Time - And the Dark Kin are on the Road, Again.

Welcome to my Sunday Editorial. The time I put aside each week to just type about things that mattered to me during the week in gaming, life and more. Its also the place that I can expose some of the future brain children that are brewing in my head. So read on, if you DARE.

Ok, lets get started. First thing to chat about, I am going to Sault St Marie! (its about an 8hr drive) I will be going for work for the week. As such I have (like any good wargamer) reached out to network with the gamers in the community to maybe set up a game or two. I already have a few leads for some games and I am looking foward to playing against some different opponents. Im a bit like a traveling wargamer, and I like it really broadens your horizons and perspectives on wargaming when you play with people other than your regular group, this also makes you better as a player.

Second thing is a bit of Campaign News. I am running this Campaign that starts une 2nd. 9 planets that I have built painted and Read the rest of this entry »

Tau Tactica: The BLOB

Welcome to Skaredcast. I post a daily blog. Now this is mostly about 40k and today is no different. Today I am going to talk to you about the tau Blob.

The new Tau are a very dynamic army. They have introduced quite a few dynamics into the "meta" one of them being supporting fire. Now, this game dynamic makes a tau army a lot more complicated to charge into. So today I am going to explore the mechanic and talk about it from a Tau perspective and from an enemies perspective. The name of the game is the blob.

The Tau:

As a tau commander you want to have your units support each other. Placing bait units up front, drones, kroot, allies anything to take a charge, even a unit of Firewarriors. This will of course depend on the enemy at hand. (everything is relative) but the key to it is having some damage dealing units in support to soften up, even eliminate enemy targets as they move into engage the line. After all, its in close combat that the Tau usually do not feel at home. This means that your supporting units, usually units with multiple shots, such as burst cannons, missile pods, rapid firing plasma and missilebroadsides and riptides (even upgraded HammerHeads). Now, its important to remember that multi trackers on suits only work in the Tau shooting phase, so when overwatching make sure you pick the best weapon to snap shoot. Now, this means that Read the rest of this entry »

MLC’s - Multi Level Campaigns

Welcome to the wednesday post. I have been talking a lot about the campaign I am developing for the Gaming Community in Barrie Ontario. Now, if you are interested in seeing the player pack that I have been developing plese go HERE. Today I want to chat a bit about incorporating other gaming systems into a campaign. Now, it seems Games Workshop is no longer supporting its specialist games range. This is a shame, BattleFleetGothic and Epic are two of the best games GW have ever produced! I was lucky enough to score this book:

I am looking forward to reading through it and applying what I can to make some interesting scenarios when plating BFG within a campaign. Its a bit late to incorporate it now into the campaign that is going to start on June 2nd but I am hoping to have some sort of mechanic down pat for the next campaign in november at some point.

What do you think? Have you ever tried mixing thing up within a campaign?

Cheers!
