Greeting troops,
I have had a recent twitch for some space combat. I know that Firestorm Armada is popular right now and the models look fabulous. I have also some basic knowledge of Full Thrust. So my question is .... anyone have a preference or experience to lean this general one side or the other ?
A brief yet small request to my blogging family.

Zombies !!!
Greetings troops,
Recently, during the holiday season I was able to venture off and grab a new board game called Zombies !!
The game is made by Twilight Creations. Currently there is 9 expansions to this game along with numerous other great games. You can see for your self all the game goodies at Twilight Creations
The game (in its 2nd edition) comes with the following:
In true gaming fashion, I lost. Ian was able to make it to the helipad and lift off.
Two thumbs up. I recommend it to all. It is great for the younger gamers in the family due to the simple game mechanics.
Keep an eye out ... I have some FOW pics coming this week of some bail out markers. We are also getting WWPD: Episode 11 in production for the end of the week. A nice gaming week !
Keep the Dice rolling and the Paint flowing ....

Mezz's Savage New World (2)
In the last posting for Mezz's Savage New World I posted the character sheet For William McCoy. This posting will be the character sheet for Jeff Savage, US Marshall.
McCoy and Savage walked across the street to the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office had a front desk near the door, the sheriff's main office, a spare room and the lockup. Simple and yet to the point.
"You can have the spare room. There is a bunk and a closet for your things. Here's a set of keys for the office, lock up and gun cabinet." McCoy tossed the keys towards Savage.
"Thanks, anyone else have access or just me?" Savage sat down and put his feet up on the desk.
"Nope. I haven't had a chance to swear in any deputies ... yet. Last sheriff was ran out of town by the local gang running rampant in this region." McCoy glanced out the window. "Amazed they haven't peeped their ugly heads out today."
"The day is young, my good sheriff." Savage smiled and walked over to the gun cabinet. The standard single and double barreled shotguns along with some Winchester Rifles were inside.
Suddenly the familiar sound of pistol fire was in the air. Savage grabbed his pistols and walked to the door. "Shall we go and meet our misunderstood citizens my good Sheriff ?"
"I spoke too soon, I have the worst luck." McCoy shook his head and walked out to greet the commotion.

Mezz's Savage World
Recently I was able to purchase Savage Worlds - Explorer's Edition with some holiday money. I have been following a fellow blogger's blog Savage Timmy's Playhouse that has been using this ruleset and was impressed with the game mechanics. So without further delay ... introducing one of my 2011 goals. Mezz's Savage New World.
The saloon was slow considering it was a weekend. McCoy glanced around the bar and noticed nothing that caught his eye. Out of town visitors seemed to be slowing down since the Flash. Matter of fact, everything seemed to be slowing down since the Flash.
McCoy looked left and saw a new face in town. He appeared to be a government type. Plain and serious. Loner with no one else sitting with him. McCoy ordered another shot and made his approach down the bar.
"New to town ?" McCoy said glancing for any signs of movement or weapons.
"Just got here." The stranger muttered. "Been riding a stagecoach for a week. Figured this saloon was a nice stop as any." He took another shot and another ordered. "Are you the welcoming committee ?"
McCoy smiled and shifted his weight to his gun hip. "Yes, you can say that. I am sherriff for these parts. I welcome every new face."
The stranger looked up and smiled. "Good to know. Name's Jeff. Jeff Savage. US Marshall at your service." The marshall opened his jacket and branished his badge. McCoy felt a wash of ease and sat next to Savage. Waving to the bartender, McCoy signalled for 2 more shots.
"I know I was riding a stagecoach for a week. And I know things seem to get hazy but I swear I am losing it. Yesterday, a flash occured like the sun hitting a mirror but so bright I had to shield my eyes. Know anything of it ?"
McCoy shrugged. "I saw it too. Matter of fact the whole town saw it and talking about it. Other than that it is just gossip about town, nothing more or less."
Standing up, McCoy motioned to Savage to grab the scotch. "We can head over to the sherriff's office and get ya settled in. I will fill you in on the town gossip and clicks."

Greetings 2011
Hello Troops,
I thought I would just post a brief hello for the New Year. Family plans have the painting on a halt for the next week or so but before that I was able to get the remaining 81mm US mortars done as well as the remaining US Sherman tank. I need to purchase a 2 1/2 ton truck for my pioneers and finish the hedge cutters for my tanks for a tournament at the Williamsburg Muster in Feburary.
Some plans for the New Year include ...
Be safe and have a Happy New Year 2011 .... Keep the Paint flowing and the Dice Rolling !
