Hi Guys,

I'm watching some Babylon 5 episodes today.

I have four packages packed most of the way... looking for items or waiting on copies of Monster Island:

- Vanvlak...
- Dafrca...
- Mojarn...
- Tas...

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi Guys,

I finally got ahold of Firefly Games today.

http://www.firefly-games.com/

Hi Maksim,
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you more quickly - I've had a very hectic couple of weeks, and what time I've had to spare I've been spending on getting Battlegrounds: New ?York City ready for release.

I'd be happy to sell you a couple of copies of Monster Island. Firefly Games is based out of my home, and I also work full-time, so we'll need to set up an appointment. I apologize for the problems but I'm not sure why your friends are having trouble with the store - we have received emails from a couple of people about it, which may have been your friends, and we checked everything out but couldn't come up with
anything. And we've had several sales of various products to other people since then.

Please send me an email or give me a call at ***-**** and we'll set up an appointment for you to pick up the games. I'll be available from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, or just about any time that works for you Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks!

I called Patrick, the owner of Firefly Games, on the phone and am going by his office in about two hours to pick up a copy of the Monster Island "2 for 1" deal for Dafrca and VanVlak.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Please pass on my regards - he is another "Internet buddy" I've never actually met!

I got my free copy of Battlegrounds NYC today (For being a playtester) - excellent!

Hi Tas,

Tas: Please pass on my regards - he is another "Internet buddy" I've never actually met!

I liked him. He works at the same place (The Sacramento Bee newspaper) as my friend, Chuck's wife. They know each other.

He even played "Call of Cthulu" with Chuck and Ralph in Elk Grove (A local suburb).

I invited him to the playtesting of my monster game when I'm ready. He said he'd be happy to come.

By the way, you are credited in "Battlegrounds NYC."

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Just goes to show how small the world is, even though we always think it is so large.

In any event, your effort is greatly appreciated.

The earth, physically, is bloody large. I've sailed most of it it can take awhile... :;):

The nerd wargamer social world, is pretty darn small...Thats why we sit here and chat with people we havent met who live across the globe!

But would you have it any other way? Apart from a few of you a tad closer to actually play against, I wouldnt! :cool:

Hi Daniel,

I'd really like that GROPOS flyer you have left and any credit I have left over after that is a gift to you.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

P.S.
*** DO you want to know what is in the package I sent you? Or keep it a surprise? ***

Of course, I'd like that!

I would be happy to see it in good condition for you.

Hi Tas and Gang,

Tas: The nerd wargamer social world, is pretty darn small... That's why we sit here and chat with people we haven't met who live across the globe!

Here's a vivid example of that:

Today I spoke with both of the major authors of kaiju games...

Patrick of "Monster Island" fame in person...

And...

Ken of "Giant Monster Rampage" fame via Instant Messenger...

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

MODELLING: 6mm Miniature Bases!

Quote (Lextar @ 01 2005 July,07:54)

*** Just wondering what people think about mixing circle and square bases within one army? ***

I did this with my Eldar Fire Dragon Troupe. Originally all the vehicles were going to be on circle bases, but I switched the wave serpents to square base so they stood next to each other on the shelf without wasting any space. So the only one left is the command Falcon.

I'm thinking of doing something similiar with my Tau. Troops on Square bases and the tans on circle ones.

*** What do people think? ***

Hi Lextar,

I don't have a problem mixing base types or sizes.

In fact, I have done this many times. I use the following with regularity for older Epic editions or ?the current E-A:

SQUARE [20mmx20mm or roughly 3/4"x3/4"]:
- I still use the 20mmx20mm 1rst and 2nd edition sqaure bases although I prefer the 3rd edition rectangular ones.
- Metal shims that can be glued under these bases to make them magnetic are readily availible.

RECTANGLE [12.5mmx40mm]:
- I love the 3rd edition 12.5mmx40mm rectangular bases.
- The only bad thing about them is that they are such a funky size. Noone makes a metal base you can glue under the E-40k rectangle so I have to custom make them so that my infantry stands can be stored magnetically. This is a pain.
- I'm thinking of switching to 15mmx40mm bases since this is a standard DBA base size and is readily availible.

RECTANGLE [20mmx30mm]:
- I have custom-made and cut these pieces for smaller artillery pieces such as Thud guns and the like when the 20mmx20mm was too small and the 20mmx40mm was too big.
- Cutting plasticard is easy but time consuming.

RECTANGLE [20mmx40mm]:
- The Warmaster 20mmx40mm bases are wonderful. Metal shims that can be glued under these bases to make them magnetic are readily availible.
- 20mmx40mm bases are also a standard DBA base size and are readily availible.

CIRCLE [3/4" (Roughly 20mm) and 1" (Roughly 25mm)]:
- This is the newest kind of base I have been using and I really like using circles.
- I use two sizes primarily: 3/4" (Roughly 20mm) and 1" (Roughly 25mm).
- I purchase fender washers in this size and cover up the middle hole with a piece of Scotch tape or small paper.
- 3/4" fender washers make great pieces for individual pieces such as robots or jet bikes and also are fabulous for character pieces such as leaders or even for individual units such as snipers or missile teams.
- 1" circles are good for regular infantry units and are a great size on which to base E-A Tyranids.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

STAR TREK: Ground Combat?

Hi Guys,

I've been looking at various Star Trek sites trying to figure out how ground combat is fought in the Star Trek universe.

Hi Guys,

I've been looking at various Star Trek sites trying to figure out how ground combat is fought in the Star Trek universe.

Some interesting websites there.

I have always thought the ground warfare would be fast and dull. When both sides have weapons that can disintigrate almost anything, there are not a lot of "second hits" or "near misses."

dafrca.
