Much of Saturday was consumed by a four-player, Zoom-based, virtual play test of Wars of Ozz<\/em> in the afternoon. The game went well, but Dave’s Munchkins were badly mauled by Chris’ Winkies in the most lopsided outcome we’ve seen with these rules. It was a combination of Dave not realizing that he should try to avoid Melee with Winkies and Dave’s dismal die rolling of Biblical proportions. On the other flank, Zeb and Greg had a very even match between their Gillikins and Quadlings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the game, my wife decided that I wanted to take her out to dinner :), so that consumed the rest of the evening. We’ve become big fans of Bonefish Grill. The service is always excellent, and the food is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday I had a chance to paint some. Late last week, I had pulled three Eureka Miniatures French Revolution vignettes out of the project box to the painting table. I don’t know if they will ever find their way into a game, but they were fun to paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next set were some workers. I am not sure what the women with the sacks are supposed to be doing, but I like the guy sharpening a sword on the big stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then I found this guard post. I have no idea where it came from or why I purchased it, since I already had one, but it was an easy project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, I painted the last three Marshall Ney figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Saturday morning, I filed and based a much of recently arrived duck figures, some of the Bad Squiddo women of WWII Kickstarter figures, and some figures I received from Badger Games. Look for pictures soon.<\/p>\n
