I recently completed two more IA miniatures, specifically
Emperor Palpatine and Chewbacca. I finished
both in a couple of hours, which means I now have time to try an finish my Orc
Blood Bowl team.

In other news I’ve been trying to create some videos for my Keep
Calm & ReRoll YouTube channel, however my computer has decided to have
other plans and doesn’t want to run the trim tool on Windows Media player
without freezing, so it looks like I’m going to have to update my hardware in
order to start producing content. This
is very frustrating but in truth it’s probably about time I got a new laptop as
this one is starting to get old. So bare
with me folks video content is very much on its way!
I’ve recently purchased the new Firefly Adventures game by
GaleForce9 (The first video I tried to make for my channel was an unboxing of it). I played it on Tuesday and I have to say that
I really enjoyed it. The game perfectly
captures the spirit of the TV series (Much like Firefly the board game does) and
can be played as a cooperative game or competitive (1 player is the goons the
rest are the crew). For those of you not
familiar with it Firefly Adventures is a skirmish game where you play the crew
of the Serenity Mal, Jayne, Kaylee, Wash and Zoe (with the rest coming as expansions
later in the year) trying to complete various jobs. We played 2 cooperative games, mainly to try
and learn the rules and get familiar with the mechanics.
The only issue I have with the game is how the rule book is
laid out as it took us ages to figure out how to play it (about 2 hours) and
even when we had the basics locked down we still spent a lot of time trying to
find out specific rules, such as how do you move a body. Mainly because there not bloody reference in
the book! Apart from this small gripe I
really loved the game and I’m looking forwarded to playing it some more. If you’re a Firefly fan I’d strongly recommend
considering it as a purchase.
Well that’s about it for now. Keep an eye out for my next post.
