This pandemic lockdown has been both a boon and an affliction. The most important thing is staying home and staying safe, making sure we don’t cause an outbreak, of course. But to say I’m going stir-crazy is an understatement. I used a lot of the early lockdown period to get some hobby done; I had bought into the Kings of War: Vanguard Kickstarter when it came out but it had mostly sat on my shelf. I’m not even sure why, but I picked up the book, started reading, and broke out my Empire of Dust models that were on my hobby shelf. We’re going to do a review of the game coming up on the pod bu ..read more

The Walking Dead: Call to Arms from Mantic Games released in July and since then I’ve played about a dozen games. It is a great time and a good contrast to All Out War. But how do the two rulesets compare? This has been a hot topic on Facebook groups for a while now. In this article I’ll do my best to compare the two rulesets and give you an idea of what they’re like, as well as offer my opinion on how the differences stack up. Game Size Traditional All Out War player vs player games were a warband-size affair, likely around 5-6 models. Call to Arms can be played at this level, but has been ..read more

The Walking Dead: Call to Arms recently released and I’m eagerly awaiting more TWD model releases. The latest set released included The Hunters, so we’re about halfway through Compendium Two (they’re specifically in issues 61-66 of the comic, out of 193). I’ll be writing a series of articles about who I think should be included for the rest of the game and why, including the art of the characters themselves. I won’t include spoilers of deaths or anything huge. Mostly I just want to get a roadmap for what I hope to see. Most of the information will be from here. I’ll also be doing the novel se ..read more
