Xenos Rampant: Tunnel Brats Part 1

   So what is this all about?  Well the comic should explain it but for many moons I have been pondering rules for a basic AI system to fight miniatures battles in and now with Xenos Rampant I think I have both a good use of it and ideas to add to the fun of the game and make use of my entirely too large collection of games and tiles.  If one ruleset let's me use a bunch of things without having to remember and or relearn rules for each and every one of them?

  Well why the heck not?

Xenos Rampant Battle Report Comic Number One of... Well This is Me So Uhh.. One to Five Probably?

 Yes indeed I will make no bones pretending this will become a regular thing once more or whatever though I do quite enjoy this game.  Sadly my opponent seemed mild on it overall but much of that could be because he is quite taken with Warhammer Underworlds as it is even though most of the models could easily be used in Xenos or Dragon Rampant.  (Fantasy type Vampires and Ghosts versus AT 43 or 40K forces?  Warpath Universe?  So many fun options!)

  But we are at least getting one battle report and ideally one more from whenever the heck we can make schedules mesh up for the rematch with said switching of sides.  I am getting back into the groove of using Comic Life and this version being 3 with a much beefier computer and bigger screen makes it a bit easier and faster.  I might add in more fun effects and the like next time!

  Anyhow on with the show, click for larger, yadda yadda.

I Have Returned! With the Good News About Xenos Rampant!

 Yes.  I finally got and went through the hoops to both get the newest version of Comic Life for my current inexpensive but mad powerful 12th Gen Intel  i3 PC rocking a Geforce 3060, 32 gigs of 3200 DDR Ram, and a pair of SSD drives, NVME and SATA which gives me massive power over the old PPC G5 iMac.

I haven't been heavily gaming until the last year or so and even then I could argue its been light and semi casual, mostly Warhammer Underworlds and Warhammer 40K RPG Deathwatch/Black Crusade.

But I discovered a new game that might let me use all of my plastic dollies with guns and gun like objects.

Let's take a look!
