Backing a histroical Kickstarter from Microprose - Task Force Admiral

Task Force Admiral | Limited "First Team" Physical Edition

Only 15 hours to go, so by the time you read this it will be too late. 

When I saw it advertised by Drachinifel I decided I had to get it. And you get an old style physical box!   I wish I could afford the upgrade to the include the book with doctrines.

I think this was the first Microprose game I ever played on an Amiga 1000: I read the manual cover to cover multiple times. SO MUCH INFORMATION.

A layout of my current terrain, and what I need more of

Putting out all the kickstarter mats, FOGN trees, bushes, hills and rocks from Miniature Worldmaker and some of the ruined buildings from Battle Systems, over the Autumn battle mat from geekvillain.co.uk

 I need a LOT more trees, and much bigger ones for 28mm (the ones I have are for FOGN 18mm). I have some coming from Amazon but I think I'm going to need some of the more expennsive single sized big model railway ones (one tree costs as much as a single cheap and crappier Amazon 68 piece forest).

Review of Battle Systems: Roads & Rivers (updated with sizes and comparisons)

With nearly all the terrain I need to start doing solo play FOGN and Rangers of Shadowdeep, it's time to start some reviews of the terrain I have acquired. First is Battle Systems: Roads & Rivers

Battlesystems Bridge, and Road & Rivers. The blue plastic is a river mat from a Kickstarter I will review in future.

Lasting Tales: A Fantasy Miniatures Game kickstarter

 

A new game coming soon

I'm kickstarting Lasting Tales: A Fantasy Miniatures Game.

I got the Fantasy Series 1 box and look forward to the Fantasy Series 2 and the rule book.

I want to have a paint colour scheme for each character class to be able to identify them quickly.

There are ten playable Classes:

  • Fighter

  • Barbarian

  • Rogue

  • Ranger

  • Bard

  • Cleric

  • Paladin

  • Wizard

  • Druid

  • Monk

    I want to figure out a base colour for each class, which will vary of course.

    This reddit thread has some idea for D&D classes as does this dndbeyond offical answer but I don't like some of them

    So my current idea would be:

    • Fighter - Silver for their weapons and armour

    • Barbarian - Red for Rage

    • Rogue - Black/Grey for hiding in shadows

    • Ranger - Green for forests

    • Bard - Purple to stand out in the crowd

    • Cleric - Light Blue for the sky their gods live above

    • Paladin - Gold for perfection

    • Wizard - Dayglow and other not natural colours (bright pink/yellow/neon green/colour change etc) for their outworldly and strange spells and magics

    • Druid - Brown for trees and animals

    • Monk - Dark Blue for moving like water (bending)
