Ask a Simple Question...

Hey! I just set up a poll regarding your favorite miniature games!

This is the part where you, the reader, helps out my blog by inputting your favorite game!

Results will be announced sometime after the poll ends.

Photo Dilemma

Well, I was going to post the pictures of my collection of Mechwarrior miniatures, but all of the images came out upside-down! So, until I get this resolved, you'll have to wait to see my collection. I did leave out two of the miniatures, however, because one of them is broken and the other is a promotional item.

Miniature Trading

Hey! I played a game of Mechwarrior Dark Age today! I and my opponent had to quit early to eat lunch, but I was clearly losing.

Anyway, I'd like to refer you to www.miniaturetrading.com. You can trade and discuss all different kinds of miniature there, including Mechwarrior! Also, if you make an account, please say that srwestlake14 referred you. It'd be great if I got some referrals to make me more popular on the site.

Great News!

My package came earlier today! When I took all of the pieces out, for a second I thought that this was more than I had bought! But seriously, the minis are in pretty good condition, with a few broken and dirty ones thrown into the mix. I'll add a picture later, with them all arranged outside of the box.

Waiting, WAITING!!

Okay, not too much has happened this week.

On Sunday, I won a 43-piece Wizkids Mechwarrior lot on Ebay so I've been waiting and waiting and waiting until it comes. I will post on the blog almost as soon as it comes.

Yesterday, I played a good, 3-person game of Flipit Paper Combat. By the 3rd turn, the battlefield was a mess!

And today, I have a short, 8-mile time trial. (I'm also a bike racer)

So, when the package comes, I will either a. Blog about it right away or b. Hide in my room with an evil grin on my face. Probably the latter.

Okay, don't forget to send games you want me to feature to my Google+ account!

Littleroller Battle Report

It's finally here! The long awaited Littleroller Battle Report!

 Turn #1: (I'm the light blue 'bot and my little brother is the darker one.) We started by taking cover behind the odd paper structure while the monsters slowly advanced.

 Turn #2: The monsters relentlessly came forward, even as we peppered Nuckelavee with shots.

 Turn #3: We split up and managed to take out one of the Cherubile. My brother targeted a different Cherubile while Nuckelavee and the last Cherubile targeted me!

Turn #4: We ran back to hide just out of range of the monsters, (You can see my robot just barely peeking out!) as they regrouped, making them much harder to fight.

Turn #5: I took out another Cherubile, but the monsters closed in on us. We would have fought back, but we were low on health and P!

Turn #6: I heroically took a hit from the Cherubile on the roof and died to protect my brother. He avenged my death by promptly jumping onto the roof and body-checking it. Meanwhile, Nuckelavee came dangerously close to the energy factory. 

Turn #7: My brother circled and tried to shoot Nuckelavee through the paper structure, (It's hollow) but realized he didn't have enough energy to use his gun!

Turn #8: Nuckelavee finally gave up on chasing my brother and decided to just attack the factory, making us lose the game!

And he finished by jumping onto the factory and posing for the camera!

Well, I hope you liked Battle Report #1! If you'd like to see more battle reports, send me an email request with a link to or a picture of the game! I would also love to feature your game, so shoot me some templates and instructions. I love to build well-drawn miniatures!

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

Sorry I haven't been posting lately!

I've been having so much fun making those Flipit Paper Combat minis, that I basically shoved that battle report to the back of my mind! I have to get that on here, SOON!

Anyway, here are a couple pictures to prove that I'm actually DOING something!

First Battle of Flipit

Hey, everyone! I played my first game of Flipit Paper Combat (http://flipitpapercombat.com) today! I lost, but it was still great!

We played with six infantry and one transport each. We started the game rather timidly, with neither of us making much of a move. Finally, three of my infantry entered a building and stood on the roof. One by one, soldiers for both sides fell to the other factions grenades, rifles, shotguns and machine guns. The battle ended with a two-on-two rooftop battle, with both of my soldiers dying and falling off the building.

I will probably play another game soon, with less vanilla-rules and more faction abilities.

All in all, it was a great game, well worth my hard work on the miniatures.
