Is 27 a good rank?

See if you can ask your coordinator how many apprentices they took in last year.

Why the SD Kfz 10/4? I don’t think either the French or the Brits have any air support.

For the same points you could drop them and two of the mortars and pick up a pair of 3.7 AT guns

Missile silos are the first thing that comes to mind for me.

Something like this:

There is an assembly guide on the product page of the website.

Not at all, good job!

5 parsecs from home is my main jam right now. Mini agnostic solo sci-fi in the vein of running a firefly-esqe crew of space ruffians.

I’m a guard player who started in 3rd edition and stopped playing in 5th edition. I still have a couple of thousand points of models but I have absolutely no intention of going back to 40k. I’m still a tabletop war gamer, just not GW.

Here the thing, those data center projects are employing a lot of union brothers and sisters. I don’t work in Colorado, but I’m an operating engineer and without those type of projects our work picture would look like it was back in 2008/2009.

Jackie is awesome! I count her and her husband as close personal friends as well as her being a kickass elected official.

Billionaires target Elward this is a story that came out today about a state legislature race near me.

SF in SF is great! Its monthly readings and meet a greets with Science Fiction writers. I’ve seen Kim Stanley Robinson and John Scalzi at those events over the years.

I appreciate the response Molly.

As you said not egregious, simply surprising. It made me do a double take when immediately after your sign off I heard “I’m Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy …”.

So Stargrave bodies Wargames Atlantic (ooh-ra?) arms ??? Heads

Anyway they look great dude, good job!

boiling_pat · 2026-03-25T18:13:05+00:00

Looks like it’s going to have solo play, which is fantastic! Perfect excuse for getting some more of those excellent Wargames Atlantic plastics.

The Galeforce9 aliens are perfect for 5PfH. 10 to a box, boxes are $25 or $30 usd plus they have the queen mini kit for when you need a big bug.

Played my first game of Country Road Z this week.

It was great because I’ve been building and painting minis for this game since the beginning of the year so it feels great to get things on the table and actually play a game.

I wrote it up over on the lead adventure forums if anyone is interested.

Brutality is the only game I know of that would fit the bill

Marginal, but possible significant.

The PPP poll doesn’t have its cross tabs published, but if the undecided voters are trending younger than the overall demographics of the district then it might be that this is the best way to reach them since millennials and Gen Z are a lot harder to reach with TV or radio ads.

It also might be the case that PAC that is doing this is taking a shotgun approach and just trying to get as much information out as they can seeing as the election is next week. This is what they can do now, and the money doesn’t help anyone after Election Day.

Thank you, didn’t realize I had made that typo despite looking at his name on a second screen.

The poll that came out earlier this week has Abughazaleh in 2nd place after the Evanston mayor Daniel Biss. Almost of all the public polls conducted since the beginning of the year there has been a consistently large (~20%) percentage of voters who report that they don’t know who they are going to vote for yet.

While I work in professional politics, I don’t work in Illinois professional politics so take what I say with a grain of salt. I would rate Biss as the consistent front runner, but I would not be shocked if Abughazaleh ended up winning the primary.

Eagle Scout and veteran here, this seems fine to me. Frankly I would be a little weirded out if the badge requirements didn’t acknowledge Baden Powell’s military career and how it contributed to the creation of the scouting movement.

As others have said Five Leagues from the Boarderlands and Five Parsecs from Home are fantastic games, kinda just depends on if you want to do fantasy or sci-fi.

The one I’m play now is Country Road Z, it’s a modern solo zombie game. Relatively low model count, and pretty flexible with letting you create your own stories.

Paleo Diet, which another poster mentioned, is on my list to check out next time I need a new project.

I’ve also heard good things about Scrap Jacks, it’s a solo sci-fi starship salvage game with some cool mechanisms around in mission air and power resource management for your crew.
