Trying the new season of ITS (17) for #infinitythegame. New missions really breaking out of the old paradigm, really interesting! #tabletopgaming #miniatures

Time to get that #ForbiddenPsalm, sell it for 1000, and retire. The MAD Wizard Viprix would never lie, right? #miniatures #wargaming

Ohhh, that's one grimoire I gotta get my grubby mitts on. Will the typos and missing item from 2nd edition be corrected in this version?

Finished last scenario of #RangersOfShadowdeep #TempleOfMadness! Despite an abundance of 1s at the start of the mission, we managed to smash the evil wizard before turn 8. #tabletop #miniaturegaming

#HacTao adventures continue. After losing a game without even deploying it, I played more aggressively. This time, he dodged an Aquila HMG's bursts in ARO, to get the active turn, and turn the tables. #infinitythegame #wargaming #miniatures #tabletopgaming

Got This Is Not A Test book, a post-apocalyptic skirmish Campaigner. Gorgeous. Now to decide, Tribal (clowns 🤡 ) or Mutant (toxic Avengers 🫠)? #miniatures #miniaturegaming #tabletopgaming #TnT #thisisnotatest

Threw down #Dropfleet again. The pie plate moon was surprisingly interesting and useful. #tabletop #miniatures #wargaming

Hac Tao hacker truly gives you a Solid Snake experienxe, dismantling your opponent's army by themselves (but then you die against some grunt die to a stupid mistake) . #infinitythegame #miniaturegaming #yujing #tabletopgaming

#ForbiddenPsalm scenario 4 - Hanging 'round the lake, fighting an Afanc, as well as the others fighting an Afanc. Just normal post apoc stuff #miniatures #wargaming

Continuing on my #infinitythegame action pack challenge - this time I'm playing Operation Kaldstrom, adding enough to get to 300. Honestly it seems pretty solid (even if I can't seem to win) #wargaming #yujing #miniatures

Refining Buccaneer's Bluff, my wargame in a box game - now playing with standees I made for the pirates! Some small tweaking with the "Grab the Loot!" scenario. Definitely easier to play now.

Aylw @aylw.bsky.social · Apr 2

Going back to White Banner, with #OperationKaldstrom. With just a few additions (monks, bots, warcor), the unit buffs make it surprisingly decent in #infinity #N5! #wargaming #miniatures #infinitythegame #tabletopgaming

Picked up this great Kit at Anime Otaku Hobby in Toronto, Marrying two of my loves - Miniatures & One Piece! Now, to rip off the stickers, fill gaps and paint... oops, I broke it 😭 #onepiece #gunpla #miniatures #pirates

Love it! I have been experimenting with 20mm skirmish gaming (playing 28mm using cm instead of inch scale), and it was awesome. This is my 1' x 1' gameboard (so bigger than pocket), but given our hobby - smaller is better! #miniminiwargaming

Shizoku was going to frenzy, so instead she went on a rampage - taking out most of link, then leader in melee, before she finally went down. Crazy how much better the rest of #JSA #Sandtrap gets with a couple Yamabushi support #infinitythegame #wargaming #tabletopgaming #miniatures

More Pirates done. Just 6 more pirates and a ship to finish my #bloodandplunder starter, I'm on track to painting complete, having taken 3 years! 😭 I wonder if the game is good. #playitpainted #miniatures #minipainting #pileofshame #wargaming #pirates

Holy, never seen those before, they look awesome! Given how cool the minis were, how did this game die so fast?

Aylw @aylw.bsky.social · Mar 4

Played #sandtrap again, this time like they were supposed to - removed Shikami, ran #Shindenbutai - which gave me links & 2 Yamabushi + cheerleaders. Had enough orders & defense (though Raiden ML still died like a chump, he kind of sucks). Sandtrap isn't bad! #infinitythegame #wargaming

God, I stopped watching after they went TTS (cant stand it), I just check the screencaps after. Love a lot of these, but if I'm not listening to #Bostria, I see no need. If it's really just a speed thing, he needs to train a TTS of his voice at the least :P #infinitythegame

Aylw @aylw.bsky.social · Feb 25

So played #Sandtrap in the tourney. Besides getting outplayed, Sandtrap did, indeed, not do well 😜. In hindsight, adding vs swapping in Shikami was a mistake, as Sandtrap already has so much gas. 2-4 extra support / ARO would have been better. #infinitythegame #miniatures #wargaming #ShikamiStillOP

Finished my #JSA #Sandtrap army, with just enough extra units (*cough* broken good #Shikami *cough*) to bring it to my second N5 Infinity Tourney. Love trying out the operations boxes and seeing how they do competitively :) (usually bad, lol) #infinitythegame #miniatures #wargaming #tabletop

#Dropfleet hit the table with the new updates - Played into the mission, was way ahead, but threw it away trying to kill a #UCM Battleship - those things are invincible at 1250. Couple more revisions, the game will be there. Still Super fun! #tabletop #wargaming #miniatures #spaceships

Aylw @aylw.bsky.social · Feb 11

Another close game of #Infinitythegame #N5, I'm calling it. Shikami (not pictured) is busted. All gas, plus 8" Super Jump is ridiculous. Chopping heads never been so easy. Wouldn't mind a Super Jump nerf. #miniatures #wargaming #JSA #tabletopgaming

Finished my #TrenchPilgrims for #TrenchCrusade! Ready to punish the heretics and send them to hell. #miniatures #grimdark #tabletopgaming
