Richard Borg, that is. Following on from my last post, featuring the Borg board game Memoir '44, it turns out that this game I was definitely not going to buy (and on which point I essayed argument), has shown up secondhand.
I couldn't stop myself.
I now find myself wondering whether I need to get some expansions, and if so, which ones. Such is the gaming life.
In other, more miniatures-gamery news, I had to make another quick trip to Japan late last week to bring the kids back as a family situation has meant that my wife has had to stay on longer than we expected. On the last evening (of three) there I popped into a local hardware store and found, for about $2.30, wire enough to fit out a dozen pike armies. The beauty of this stuff is that it's stainless, cheap, and dead straight. 35cm sections, with one bend in each. A person of wargamery inclination can get seven to ten pikes per section. This lot should see me right for the rest of my (un)natural life!
I also snuck into the suitcase a few other bits and pieces I'd not previously had room to bring back. 1/72 Zvezda Samurai (could be used for another Borg-inspired project?), some WWII books, and not yet in my suitcase but will be in my darling wife's when she returns, a giant stash of my absolute favourite guitar picks, which can only be found in one shop, and then only if you are lucky.
Not ideal circumstances, but sometimes you can still get your pikes and picks.
The picks and pikes sound like a good score.
ReplyDeleteYes, two items you can't have enough of!
DeleteHaha, indeed!
ReplyDeleteResistance is futile. A few years back there was a samurai battles was both command and colours and Art of tactics with lots of nice zvezda 1/72 miniatures.
