Battlefields 2026 21MARCH26

 

a game I ran a while back 

      One of the surest signs of Spring is the appearance on my calendar of the Battlefields Warming Convention. This year it will be hosted by the Pro-Or-Con guys on 21MAR26 at a new location. This is always a great convention with an impressive Flea Market and a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Sessions run from 9am-1pm, 2pm-6pm and 7pm-11pm and games run from skirmish-level actions to battalion sized games. Admission is a paltry $15.00, there is an on-site bar and a food truck will be in attendance with plenty of nearby restaurants. 

        You can find the full information and register on the Tabletop Events website. Better yet sign up to run a game. I will be running a Midgard game, I hope to see you there.

28mm Wargames Atlantic Civilians and Survivors (1) Men

        So the (Zombie, Plague, Economic Collapse, et al)  Apocalypse has come and gone and you are one of the "lucky" survivors. You have to head out into the Brave New World and do that whole survival thing. Well, Wargames Atlantic has just released a set of 24 male survivors so you can play out your mission before heading out into the madness. This set provides six different poses, all standing and moving with varying degrees of alacrity. The heads (as usual, lots of them) and arms are all cast as individual items to provide maximum flexibility. You can send your guys out bare-knuckled or armed with a good variety of modern assault rifles, and just about anything in between (I am certain this  set will be popular with converters such as I who will revel in the endless opportunities with all the spare arms and armaments). 

       On the technical side there are four sprues with the minis in them and three sprues of extra arms and firepower. All of these are molded in the medium gray plastic that is standard with Wargames Atlantic products without a trace of flash and only the slightest of mold-lines. These will also mix nicely with the other sets from Wargames Atlantic, so I can look forward to grafting arms and heads back and forth between the existing ranges. You can model anything from "peaceful protestors" to the street gangs of a Third-World favela.
