Despite having duty on Saturday, I was able to spend yesterday and today having fun with Gwen, my friend Mike, and his wife. We played a couple of games, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iellogames.com\/KingOfTokyo.html\">King of Tokyo<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/strongholdgames.com\/store\/core-worlds-line-games-accessories\/core-worlds\/\">Core Worlds<\/a>, and in general just had a good time getting caught up. I&#8217;ll be batching it for a few days though, as Gwen flew down to Virigina ahead of her friend&#8217;s wedding next week.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, I&#8217;ve been busy at work, as usual. I&#8217;ve made some time here and there to play around with some of my models, though. I finally got my first game of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spartangames.co.uk\/products\/firestorm-galaxy\/firestorm-armada\">Firestorm Armada 2.<\/a>0 in, though! I played at a store called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ToySoldierGames\">Toy Soldier Games <\/a>in Amesbury, MA, which is about 25 minutes from the shipyard. I had a lot of fun, and finally managed to get my Directorate fleet into action. I&#8217;ve had these models for 3 years already, but had never gotten them onto the table! Here is a shot from the game:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-27-15.35.13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-453\" alt=\"2014-09-27 15.35.13\" src=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-27-15.35.13-225x300.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-27-15.35.13-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-27-15.35.13-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been able to do some modeling, though that has slowed down to a trickle lately due to being busier at work. I&#8217;m working on some new models for my Prussian fleet for Dystopian Wars. In the last year or so, a lot of new units have hit for the game, and I&#8217;m a bit behind thanks to deployment, etc. Here is where I stand so far:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-12-21.11.27.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-454\" alt=\"2014-09-12 21.11.27\" src=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-12-21.11.27-300x225.jpg\" width=\"390\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-12-21.11.27-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-12-21.11.27-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/a>I&#8217;m hoping to have at least these three minis done by the end of the week, but we&#8217;ll see!<\/p>\n<p>Until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just had a great weekend!
