Hello,

Ok, the Modern Aircraft supplement for Strife is now up https://sts-gamer.itch.io/strife-modern-aircraft . Baseline unit size is one aircraft, but you can make larger units in the same way as described in Modern Land Forces.

Modern Naval Forces is going on the backburner for a bit as I kind of want to get back to some fandoms instead.

Currently, I have the base wargame “Strife” https://sts-gamer.itch.io/strife-the-scalable-wargame and the base D100 roleplaying game that goes with it “Platinum.” https://sts-gamer.itch.io/platinum-rpg-system

Also available is Modern Land Forces https://sts-gamer.itch.io/modern-land-forces It covers infantry, artillery, armor and vehicles currently used in conflicts.

I also have Unofficial and Unauthorized RPG/Wargame sourcebooks for:

The 3 Musketeers https://sts-gamer.itch.io/musketeers

The movie “300” and the Battle of Thermopylae https://sts-gamer.itch.io/300

My favorite First Person Shooter Killing Floor https://sts-gamer.itch.io/killing-floor-2 in expectation of Killing Floor 3

Fantasy/horror classic Army of Darkness https://sts-gamer.itch.io/army-of-darkness

Cyberpunk Postapocalyptic anime classic Appleseed https://sts-gamer.itch.io/appleseed

Aliens vs Predator vs Colonial Marines for hard core sci-fi skirmishes between the three most lethal species https://sts-gamer.itch.io/aliens-vs-predator-vs-colonial-marines

and last, but certainly not least a full five part wargame adaptation of the Coalition Wars Campaign for Rifts https://sts-gamer.itch.io/rifts-coalition-wars-boardgame-playtest-unofficial

Everything is free and done to bring attention to these franchises, some of which are sadly neglected in the wargaming community. These are specifically built to give fans a way to wargame within their respective settings.

Happy gaming.

In a real war I feel like soldiers would want to shoot the most immediate threat first (I.e. whatever is closest to them) as opposed to a more logical choice (I.e. that anti tank team that’s behind the enemy unit shooting at them). Are there Wargames that take this into account? I believe Warhammer 40K had this mechanic back in 4th edition. But I may be misremembering.

For context I currently play Bolt Action. I suppose if Warlord was interested in making BA more of a simulation that could implement a rule that shooting a unit farther away requires an order test, but I’m thinking it’d slow the game down too much and take some of the decision making that makes Wargames fun out of the hands of the players.

Not knowlegedable in napoleonics. It comes with covered czapka heads, wonder if the horses and uniforms need any conversion.

Which of course really happened in WW2.

Hello r/wargaming,

I was searching for Transformers war games and I stumbled across Bot War. Giant robots, dinosaurs with guns, Kaiju, the diversity of troop types and the militarized dinosaurs is wicked cool. Unfortunately it's obscure, and the miniatures are pricy, and it's made in Australia. I wanted to ask are there any games out there with a similar vibe? Thank you for your help.

​

I've been curious about Deadzone from Mantic Games for a while now. Its ruler-less grid-based movement is intriguing to me - most units can only move one square, but where you place them in that square matters a lot. However, I don't want to shell out for the starter set just for a taste. Is there a minis-agnostic ruleset that uses similar movement?

Check out my blog! In this article I walk through what I've been working on and playing recently.

Hello,

I put up my “Modern Land Forces” supplement for my Strife Wargame at https://sts-gamer.itch.io/modern-land-forces It covers infantry, artillery, armor and vehicles currently used in conflicts. The base unit size is a squad or one vehicle, but any size of unit can be created. I hope to have Modern Aircraft up in about a week or so.

Modern Naval Forces is going on the backburner for a bit as I kind of want to get back to some fandoms instead.

I have a friend who is interested in miniature wargaming but hates the idea of gluing together and painting the miniatures. Does anyone have any recommendations for miniatures that are already put together and do not require any assembly? Thanks.

​

Big Fallout fan and I’m debating on whether or not to get into the wasteland warfare game. I have to be honest though, it looks overly complicated. If it wasn’t for the fact that that it had a single player mode I wouldn’t consider it at all because I don’t think there’s a community for it in my area. That being said, has anyone tried it? How big is the learning curve? Is it overly complicated?

All painted, which for me is a massive turnaround from Purchase at Xmas to done.
I've add a link to my blog rather than put all the phots here.
But here is my finished Stegadon.

I recently started building my historical armies with Victrix minis, but their shield transfers are quite expensive and shipping is killing me (base shipping to my country is something like 12 eur).

I was wondering are there any creators that sell cool transfers? Either brands/stores or Etsy sellers.

Hi all, looking at starting a Separatist Alliance Army and wondering what a good base starter would look like? What should I be getting to start playing?

Thanks in advance of anyone answers

I got some of Mark’s figures a while ago and today I decided to give this chap a nice paint job. Now all he needs is some finishing touches and matte varnish :D

hey all,

​

i am looking for a miniatures wargame that is kind of like buffy or supernatural where it is a group of hunters versus monsters (preferably vampires) in a modern day setting. googling around i haven't really found anything. just two notes, i am more interested in actual miniatures wargames that have miniatures then just rule sets as i can't paint rulesets lol and i please don't recommend kickstarters that came out 10 years ago that cost 400 euro and a blood sacrifice on ebay. i have seen a few and yes they all look fantastic but i have grown fond of my kidneys and do not wish to sell them (yet)

​

thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
