Avengers assemble! - Updated 16th of Jan 2021

 Diving headlong into Marvel Crisis Protocol

My first born daughter is a big time Marvel fan and I've tried to get her into painting miniatures and gaming with me. She has artistic drives, but miniatures have not ignited her interest, to my disappointment. Late 2019 I bought the MCP starter set from our FLGS and we did some painting and gaming in early 2020, but then her interest dropped and my focus went elsewhere, as there was also nobody else at our club playing this. As I was finishing my 2020 painting projects in December 2020 I also finished starter set models and of course I had to get a game with them - I don't think I have any painted miniatures, that haven't seen the battle field. Soon I had ran couple demos with my mates and several guys were buying and ordering starter sets and reinforcements - community was born!

FANTASY PLASTIC

It's always a celebration, when a Kickstarter pledge is delivered to you. This was a Kickstarter I had really anticipated since a great flame for Game of Thrones or the Song of Ice and Fire is burning inside me since last fall, when I listened all the books and (re)watched all the seasons of GoT.

Unboxing STAR WARS Legion

Dream of a Star Wars Fan - Wargamer came true?

I was very positively surprised when our local game store Fantasiapelit sent me an email yesterday, announcing that pre-ordered Star Wars Legion -products could be picked up today! I had been warned, that deliveries from FFG or their European distributor haven’t always been in time.

So even if suffering from a nasty flue I hauled myself towards downtown Helsinki and got my precious loot!

Getting started with X-wing... in an affordable way?

After hearing several recommendations from my friends and testing the game of my friend with kids and a friend, I decided to buy the starting kit. Since expansions are quite pricey, I set out to find a bit more affordable options...

Blood Rage!

I was truly and positively surprised, when UPS delivered a huge box to my door last night: Blood Rage -Kickstarter set! I've been involved in some 5 Kickstarters and this was second of them to be delivered in time. Delivery costs rose to much more than expected - which created quite an upheaval on Kickstarter site, but receiving all this goodiness on schedule kinda makes me forget that...
