2014 in Review

Because I am off work this week, I decided to get a head start on the end-of-year reflections. Last year, I noticed quite a few blogs (including the Stronghold Rebuilt) posted a pictorial year in review so that’s what I’m going to do this year (albeit with some commentary)

Early in the year, my focus was on the Grayrock Revolution, such as this battle in Balderdash Pass.

 I briefly experimented with dungeon crawl rules. Using my latest version, we completed the quest for the Silver Psalter.

 Then I went into a lull. I experimented with paper miniatures (although I never used them)

 In June, I caught World Cup Fever.I began experimenting with a set of soccer rules I found via The Miniatures Page. These eventually morphed into rules for a grav-ball style game.

From there, my interest turned medieval. I began a series of battles set in medieval Francesia, where Redgravian raiders attacked the settlements of the crumbling Empire.

Medieval battles:
This one in 6mm

Disaster in Transflumia

And one in 2mm

 Late in the year, my attention shifted to sci fi combat. I scratch built some spaceships and engaged in battles among the stars.

Battle of Artemesia

Then my sci fi forces landed upon an alien planet and duked it out with the army of a dictatorial coup.
