The medieval armies got a bit of a rest this weekend as some Sci-Fi skirmish games found their way to the tabletop. Our Daughter is visiting from New Zealand and she is quite happy to play a game or two of One-Hour Skirmish Wargames. The rules use cards to determine figure actions and combat outcomes and are very entertaining to play. Our previous games have used a Necromunda style setting in the wastelands surrounding the hives. However, it was different this time as we ventured into the under-hive. This setting provided the opportunity for me to use a boxed terrain set I have.
We both selected 7 miniatures. I picked some local law enforcement figures who were trying to quell the gang activity in the under-hive while my Daughter selected a group of gang figures.

A couple of games were played using different terrain configurations. We both won a game so honours were even.

I have posted about this terrain by Tenfold Dungeon earlier this year. It has proven to be very useful on a couple of occasions, and can be setup and packed away very quickly. As you open one box there are more boxes inside, all or which can be come rooms, and finally you come to the doors and barricades. Although I tend to use my Games Workshop scatter terrain.

The 28mm figures fit quite nicely into the terrain.

We came up with some house rules for shooting through doors and moving, to avoid having to measure movement distances in confined spaces.
Fantastic game. I must look into the Tenfold stuff - really useful.
ReplyDeleteAny time I play either of my daughters, I always lose :)
The terrain works out well. I too often lose against my children and at best draw.
DeleteHi Peter- The Battle 'Rooms & Corridors' reminds me of the old Games Workshop boxed set 'SPACEHULK' which I did play whilst visiting a friend in Canberra - that was back in 1990...those 'Genestealers' are hard to combat with the 'Marine Terminators' - it was a great game and easy to learn. All the best. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly is a similarity to the look of those corridors.
DeleteThe box terrain is pretty neat, in several sense of the word!
ReplyDeleteIt has proven to be very useful.
DeleteGreat looking game Peter.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The boxed terrain make the setup very easy.
