The miniatures Crooked Dice released to support the Vlad's Army feature pack cover some of the more interesting characters needed for the game. But, there are many more characters that are left up to you, the owner and player, to find and paint. With a large variety of WWII and Weird World War miniatures available,... Continue Reading →
Vlad's Army needs an army. The good guys are probably well taken care of, so we look towards the bad guys. My goal is to put together and paint all of the possible forces I will need for all of the episodes at the outset. I could focus on one episode at a time, but... Continue Reading →
I look on my chosen project, assembling everything I need to play all of the Vlad's Army episodes, as a chance to build more terrain. Terrain is one of those odd things for me. I already have a good amount of terrain, but I don't often find that terrain applies across projects. Sure, there are... Continue Reading →
I've painted a few things this year but I haven't posted pictures of them. These were mostly minis that were started in 2022 and completed more recently. Painting and building for Vlad's Army has taken up most of my hobby time. Those parts in still in progress, however, so no pictures yet. Maybe next week.... Continue Reading →
To truly play Vlad's Army, I need to have Dad's Army. I could not find the Bolt Action figures for DA at Historicon. And we looked. No one had them. Everyone knew what they were and remembered seeing or selling them, but no one had them ready for me to purchase. In October at Call... Continue Reading →
For my focus project this year I plan to paint and assemble everything I need for Vlad's Army. There are three episodes in the Feature Pack, each with a different set-up of terrain and miniatures required for the two casts. I may have some of the parts already, some I will have to make. The...

Still an odd year, 2022 was closer to normal. No lock-downs, no stay at home orders, and pretty much back in the office. Most of the COVID restrictions and effects were gone, so of course I got COVID back in May. Back to work, my hobby time was restricted more than the previous two years.... Continue Reading →
Playing through the Christmas Episode, we broke out the 7TV Fantasy rules that have been sitting unplayed and unloved. Son1 and I were on the side of Evil (or Misunderstood). Son2 and the Wife were the Good casts. A little creativity in the selection of the miniatures gets casts filled out using what I already... Continue Reading →
SYNOPSIS If you are going to do something, you have to do it right. And, nowadays if you don't do it right, don't sweat it. Someone will come along and tell you. This goes for everything in life. Why would Christmas be any different? Someone out there thinks that you are doing Christmas wrong. Those... Continue Reading →
At some point I will run out of steam on this "Not a Santa" thing. It was a good and semi-funny idea the first time. The second was similarly "inspired" but how long can it last? Here's year six and the it's time to branch out and try something a bit different. The previous five... Continue Reading →
