Noshers Wargaming Review 2013

[fateeore]

Rules of the Year: CoC

Wargames Range of the Year: The Perry's WWII plastics, I don't have the space to game with them properly - unless I use them for WH20k  - but they are nice scuplts, paint up well and offer plenty of variety.

Mini of the Year: PSC Churchill... I haven't bought the model, so I can't say what it looks like, but for some reason it pleases me that it exists.

Army of the Year: Really like the Pendraken ACW range... it's about sixth or seventh on things I want to do, so doubtful I will do anything more than cast admiring glances from the corner of the dancefloor while drinking a Cherry B through a straw.

Forum of the Year: Pendraken

Retailer of the Year: Pendraken - there is a theme here - but it was beyond the call of duty to open a second box of gliders at Fiasco so that my little lad could get the German plane he wanted. It's also nice to have a company with a sense of humour, which genuinely and actively engages with it's customers.

Let down of the year: The TFL forums. A curious combination of back biting, sycophancy and a terrible advertisement for the company.

Most looked forward to of next year: My WWI project, getting some German in feldmutz

No worries at all, got to make sure the little ones are kept happy (and quiet!), especially at the shows!  I hope he's enjoyed chucking it at those nice Perry WWII figures!

Most looked forward to of next year: Release of new LoA sculpts  (Apart from my holiday in NZ)

Message me if you are making it to Wellington on your holiday in  NZ. Will have to make sure you get a game or two in

Great idea Nosher!  


Rules of the Year: Dux Bellorum.  Simple, quirky, and jolly good fun.  Also highly adaptable to all sorts of other periods and genres.

Wargames Range of the Year: 4Ground Scenics mdf laser cut pre-coloured buildings.

Mini of the Year: Hmmm...tricky one.  Probably Hasslefree's Andreah Space Pirate.  http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=andreah-%28resin%29~hfsf112b&category=miniatures~%2Aresin-figures%2A

Army of the Year:  MY favourite army constructed?  Probably my Pendraken 'orcs' http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/something-lot-more-orc.html

Forum of the Year:  Pendraken.

Retailer of the Year:  Hmmm...gotta go with Pendraken again, although the 2-3 week delivery time can be annoying.

Let down of the year: A tie for first place.  1. Bolt Action rules.  Should have been called 'Bolt Action: Misfire'.  2. In Her Majesty's Name.  Couldn't wait for this Steampunk skirmish game, played it a couple of times...meh.  

Most looked forward to of next year: DBA v3  Playing the current draft rules at the moment and its a joy!  Also, finding out what Pendraken's next new/revamped ranges will be.
