Some shots from the Goblins vs. Evil Scientists game me and the 9yo just wrapped up. Goblins pulverized the Scientists, but Scientists secured the VPs for a narrow victory. I'm thinking to go up to 30 points like Dragon Rampant 2e going forward. #wargaming #XenosRampant
Photo: the Goblin defense line consisting of support infantry (heavy weapon platforms plus crew and a goblin riding an attack dog with a missile launcher strapped to its back), heavy infantry (Stuntbot), and a recon sniper team Photo: the recon snipers are perched on a hill with the heavy infantry visible behind them Photo: the Abomination has been Transported by a Psychic test in front of the gun line. While it would have wrecked the goblins on its next turn, it was put down by gunfire before it could get there. Photo: the Elite infantry (goblin commander represented by a Gruntbot) charges into the Evil Scientist commander (lesser xenomorphs represented by some plague models and the evil scientist from Star Saga)

I'm glad Mantic basically brought back a non-novelty version of the Red Gobbo. #mantic #Wargaming #Gorkamorka #goblins

Played this scenario over a couple of days with the 9yo between other chores and commitments. Two sides were fighting over control of an asset with VPs scored if you could escort it into your area of control. Kid says he likes having objectives because it gives him something to focus on. #Battletech
Photo: I used the new CGL Marauder model but ran the -5R variant and good lord are Rotary AC/5s fun. The ER PPCs certainly didn't hurt either. My Centurion took a beating from his JagerMech and Vindicator, but the Vindicator went down first. Photo: the Centurion closes with the opposition Panther while the objective, represented by an old Epic Leman Russ, is caught between them. Photo: the JagerMech is about to have a bad day as the Marauder closes and lets its autocannon do the talking Photo: the Panther kicks the leg of the Centurion which promptly fails its piloting test and lands on all of its LRM ammo. Oops

We thought the cat was trying to be sweet when he hopped into my 9yo's bed first thing in the morning, but no he just wanted him to leave because it's actually the cat's bed.

9yo insisted on continuing the Dungeon Saga Origins adventure today, but swapped out some of the heroes. Scenario 3 is a tough one with the party split and we had our first casualties. #DungeonSagaOrigins #ManticGames #Mantic
