My Plans for 2015

So, how did 2014 go?
The 2014 panzer is gone and the 2015 truck is passing

Writing
Well, not too bad, but not as good as expected. Less battle reports, my RRtK campaign frozen and some battle not written yet.

Expanding my reach

Audience wise, I have to thank Sean who gave me damn good advices how to share my reports to more people.

Painting
That were I am the happiest. I had a good production, not Golden Demon or award level, but decent quality with new twists. There was a load of survivors for my WWW2 campaign, zombies and bolt action.
I also participated to Zombober that gave me a good kick to paint my zombicide.
Battle For Alabaster - Bad guys painted
Games
THW games were the most popular system I have played in 2014, namely ATZ-FFO and RRtk, followed by Bolt Action. I have played 1 SOTR game and 3 games of Kings of War (KoW). We pledged to its last kickstarter with a friend and we had to try army combination before buying new extra stuff.

I have adopted a new format for my battles in RRtK

I have also play few small games with my son and my daughter recently, a paper Xwing game and a playmobile "Knights and Dragon".
Fighting dragons for few gems
Star Wars space fighter game (*unlicensed*)
2015 Plans
In 2015, I will try to avoid buying too much stuff. I think I will add more fantasy ranges than anything else, first to build my Kings of War army, secondly to try to get my son into it.
I am supposed to receive 2 kickstarters (3 if I include KoW): Incursion kickstarter and Stone Dungeon Tiles.

Games:
  • Continue my Reich of the Thousand Deads campaign, 
  • Play some Bolt Action, 
  • Start (maybe this year it will happen) my Fallout campaign, 
  • Play Kings of War,
  • Design a Star Wars game for my kids (they are deeply into Star Wars!)
  • Play a Man o'war campaign with "For a bottle of Rum" campaign rules.
  • Play Incursion
 Painting:
  • Paint at least an army of fantasy
  • Paint at least an army of Urban War
  • Finish all my www2 miniatures
  • Paint 2 fleets of Man o'War
dwarf fleet #1, the Rebel fleet

dwarf fleet #2

The Reich of the Thousand Deads: The Dirty Half Dozen (Rules)

Meet the Dirty Half Dozen.

Their mission will be to free an Airborne Lieutenant captured near Bastogne. He is kept in an abandoned farm.


All REP4


Special Rules: No Zombie. A vehicle in the middle of the farm has a special device to keep the zombies at bay. Capturing it would be a nice extra. If the vehicule is destroyed during the encounter, zombie will appear on a 5-6.

4 PEF to represent the patrols. (6,5,4,4), all on the right side.
1 convoy/reinforcement may appear, either from alarm, or by event.


As I don't know if the Dirty Half Dozen are worth their legendary background, I will resolve any kill as an OOF and see if the public wants them to survive or not.
Assuming that somebody collects the wounded at the end.

In each building, there will be a PEF roll for what is inside. In addition, an extra roll (2d6) to check if Mallory is in the building. On a 10+, Mallory is in there, otherwise the last building will be an automatic success.

The farm to swarm:
