There are some folks out there still laboring under the impression that it costs you an 1″ to cross an obstacle. Here’s another more insinuous dilemma that I’ve come across more than once. Namely: does your model have to be 1″ into terrain to benefit from it? Said another way, do you have to ...

Recently, our local gaming community held the second annual gaming convention, known as NJCon. It’s a general gaming convention meant to draw in all the local gamers for a 2 day convention. It’s nothing fancy like Templecon, but it’s full of solid games, has a fleamarket, and a respectible number of vendors. We’ve been ...
Something came up at the recent New England Team Tournament that happens quite frequently here in the Northeast and I’m curious about how other groups handle this. The issue at hand is how to determine which side fo the table you play on. Most of the time, once a table is assigned, the matched pair ...
I’ve been thinking of the typical Steamroller 4.0 format we use. It’s a brutal system where one loss instantly puts you out of the running. I am not against this kind of system because it does push people to do their best. And many sports work the same way – like football during playoffs for ...
I love the Steamroller 4.0 rules. The scenarios provide enough impetus to get the players up in the action quickly and they don’t include VP sniping as win conditions which I’ve felt were entirely against the spirit of Page 5. At the recent NJCon tourney an issue came up where I started to demark the general ...
This past weekend, I was a participant in the 750 point Steamroller 4 tournament that was held at NJCon. I came in first at the tournament and won one of those nifty new statue trophies that Privateer Press is offering. I’d like to submit a battle report of my last game which was ...
Warmachine and Hordes are commendably about aggressive, offensive play. It was such a relief for me to find this kind of game after years of playing historicals which tend to be more focused on preserving troops. I will content however that Hordes has an unfair advantage in being able to go more “all out” ...
With the upcoming development of Hordes Mark II, this is an opportunity to examine whether Hordes and Warmachine are truly compatible with each other. Let’s take a look at the consequences of pushing Beasts. First of all it rarely seems like they fail their frenzy checks, so I usually count on nothing happening at that ...
I had an epiphany recently, but unfortunately a sad one. Something that I thought was natural is evidently something that most gamers don’t do. It seems that outside of traveling to their local hobby shop, gamers aren’t all that interested in traveling elsewhere to meet with new people and game.
So, let me give you a little ...
With all the recent additions and development of the Mercs, I feel Privateer Press is missing an opportunity to straighten things out with the Mark II reboot. Clearly the genie is out of the bottle on Mercs, and that tired refrain of, “Mercs are not a faction.” is silly. They have nearly enough to ...
