Getting A Round Tuit

Not much hobby time recently but I decided that I needed a quick game today. A War of 1812 Square Brigadier game seemed about right.

About 2 years ago I decided that having done 1812 for 20 years in 54mm and 40mm at various level from skirmish games to refighting historical battles, I didn't want to continue as I had been doing but neither did I want to drop it. A few test games showed that a Square Brigadier version was just right for short, easy to set up and play, One Hour style games. More experiments showed that 2 stand, 12 figure infantry units on the 6" grid worked well for me. They could also supply 1 stand units for use on the 3" grid portable board.  All I had to do was rearrange my existing units and  rebase, touch up or add a few figures to fill out my existing 40mm British and American armies.

So there I was, starting to consider scenarios,  then I looked at the cluster of figures in three different basing systems with various organizations and a few figures needing repair.....oh......I had made the decision about what I needed to do to make my 1812 armies game ready at a minutes notice again, but..... I hadn't gotten around to it.

1 infantry, 2 light infantry, and 1 artillery unit waiting for the glue to dry.
Since basing doesn't matter in Square Brigadier I could have  played with the figures as was, but I decided to finally get a start on executing my decision. Tomorrow though, I plan to play a game  regardless.

The Battle for Light Rock Valley

Where to start? This game could have made a great Newport Noodle article or  made for a good long blow by blow post describing how the rules worked turn by turn and what affect they had on each player decision but that might have been as tedious to read as to write. So I'll quickly summarize the game in the picture captions while writing the post about the rules and how they worked in the game. The scenario, which I picked as a nod to the origin of the turn sequence which came from one of the sample games in Don Featherstone's Battles with Model Soldiers, was, as identified by Cesar Paz in a comment, "Action in the Plattville Valley" from Don Featherstone's Wargames. The Dominion (Red) Advance Guard under Brigadier Ross pushed quickly over the bridge while the main forces arrived at the end of  turn 3 (after a joker froze the 2 advance guards for turn 3). Alas for the young volunteers in the Dominion advance guard they were facing the crack shots and stubborn vete...

Ford Racing 3 Game

Ford Racing 3 PC Game  Overview: Empire Interactive has released Ford Racing 3, a straightforward racing game featuring 25 of the most popular Ford vehicles from the past nine decades. Like its console cousins, Ford Racing 3 for the DS is a budget title, and it offers the same brand of no-frills, arcade-style racing as those versions of the game. But, while the console versions of Ford Racing 3 have halfway decent racing mechanics and online play, the DS version has neither of these things, and it looks ugly too. The end result is a stiff, lifeless husk of a racing game that will disappoint even the most forgiving of Ford fanatics. There are 25 vehicles, 14 competitions, 22 challenges, and 10 race types in Ford Racing 3. For some annoying reason, though, when you start up the game you can only access a measly three cars and a few basic tracks. So right off the bat you can't help but feel cheated, since almost all of the content in the game is locked away. You have to complete a num...
