It seems a tad ironic that an expansion for Dust Tactics based around the invasion of England should arrive here roughly three months after it’s worldwide release.  Still, as it’s finally with us this seems like as good a time as any to take a look at what’s inside the box. Unlike the previous expansions, Cerberus doesn’t come with any extra map tiles.  Instead, as well as the usual two new heroes, you get the...

Following on from the first part of the article looking at the rules and miniatures, we ran a demo game to give you a bit more of an idea how Tor Gaming’s Relics plays out.  Click on any of the thumbnails for a larger version of each picture. Setting Up We used two of the Starter in a Can sets – Britanans versus Orcnar.  Both come out at around 150 points.  One thing to note is that (unless we somehow missed it entirely) the...

One of the nice things about writing these pieces is that it gives me some impetus to look through my collection, pick out some of the more interesting or lesser known games, and then to put a bit of effort into painting or playing.  As all I seem to have painted recently is red power armour, I wanted something a little different to focus on and Tor Gaming’s Relics looked like just the thing.

(In case you...

I recently managed to pick up a second hand copy of the new starter set for Tale of War’s pirate themed miniatures and board game Ron n Bones.  Now, doesn’t it look great? The box arrived a little battered, but the miniatures hadn’t been assembled, nor the deck of cards opened.  In fact, it appeared that the previous owner had only flicked through the rulebook once before selling it all on for less than half price.  I...

Mantic Games have recently released Ancient Grudge, an expansion for their Dwarf King’s Hold line of games.  As my copy arrived this morning (two days from order to delivery – nice service from Mantic) I thought that this would be as good a time as any to take a look at the whole line. Lets get one thing out of the way – I like Dwarf King’s Hold (DKH from this point on), as you may have guessed from the fact that I...
