Year of the Ram

2015 is the Wargaming Ninja Turtles' year of the Ram.

The Obligatory Look Back on 2014

If 2014 wasn't without its turnmoil in my personal life (and even more in my circle of friends), it might have been one of my most productive year yet when it came to miniatures:

Dust Elba Campagn: Enter the Allies!!! - Dust Tactics Battlefield Blog (Intro) - Part 2

...And Knowing is Half the Battle! 

This is the continuation of my thoughts prior to the beginning of the Elba Campaign being run at our local Store by Guillaume Sartem...if you didn't start with part 1, please go back and read it!

I will use the G.I.Joe Slogan a lot in the next few posts as the more I play games, the more I will get a feel for my units...and Knowing is Half the Battle!

DUST: Elba Campaign Scenarios (Beta part 2)

Dust Elba Campagn: Enter the Allies!!! - Dust Tactics Battlefield Blog (Intro) - Part 1

Fellow Turtles,

For me 2015 will be the year of WWX, Mage Wars, Kings of War, Rum and Bones (assuming we don't get it late!) and Dust Battlefield!!!

Don't get me wrong, I'll still play me some Warmachine/Hordes...I'm just gonna make room in a busy schedule for all of these other GREAT games!

I've played some Warfare during the reign of FFG and I really enjoyed it...however I was very hesitant to jump on the bandwagon of the Dust Tactics Babylon Kickstarter, I followed the whole transition period between FFG and Battlefront but I was very indecisive about investing more money into this game not knowing where it would end up...

DUST: Elba Campaign (BETA)

''The Navy Seals had failed thus proving that Elba was definitely more than a green dot on our maps to our enemies too.
With the ''Frontenac'' and ''Champlain'', the two new Allied aircraft carriers fresh from Montreal's drydocks on their way to the Italian Coast, it was made clear to all Allied commanders that Eisenhower had agreed with Lieutnant General Francois ''Frank'' G. and Admiral Jean-Sebastien C. 's plan of invading Corsica and Elba as the first steps to somehow cut or divert Axis reinforcements from their ongoing operations in the Middle-East and give some reprieve from the besieged Marine divisions.

While Corsica's landings went smoothly with minimal life losses, Elba was another problem altogether with the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and even what seemed to be (but is still unconfirmed) SSU submarines waging a relentless war to the Allied Navy around the island. Still, for all their enemies' strenght, the new Allied aircraft carriers and anti-submarine tactics developped by Pelican pilots allowed the Canadians to continue with the operations and begin the landings.
Thus started one of the fastest and bloodiest campaign the world had seen: Elba's Campaign.''

Welcome to Campaign Elba, the desperate defense from German Blutkreuz divisions as well as various Wehrmacht's Zverograd veterans to protect the Axis Island's secrets and scientists from an Allied invasion as well as Smersh and Soviet Navy.

Wilkommen auf dem Mond

As you step out of the shuttle that brought you into the Moon's industrial area, you cannot miss it, the Haas-Bioroid corporation's factory: The Foundry.

It is here that new technologies are being developped and it will be here that you will steal their secrets. Corporate espionage at its best!

First, a little run on their HQ servers to see what's coming up...What is this? Did this firewall just modifiy itself to have more subroutine?

Cellphone Pictures

Hello readers! Been a long time since I wrote anything on the blog...It is in huge part due to an unfortunate accident in which my battery charger for my camera was lost...And now I can't post picture until I get a new one. Combine that to huge expenses happening in my personal life and I'm sad to say I'll be posting 'cellphone pictures' (ah the infamy!) until the end of Spring 2015.

And so it begins...
