I have put together several of the Wild West Exodus buildings by Warcradle and I'm having a blast with them. I thought today I would take several pictures and post my thoughts and comments. Overall, the WWX buildings go together very easily and very well. I have only have very minor problems and once I put together a couple and figured out a few tricks they have gone together smoothly.<br />

Today I put the Doctor's/Post Office office together during lunch. It's great that you can build this as two different buildings. In this build, I used the Doctor's office sign. It took about 75 minutes to build and that includes letting my dogs outside and actually eating lunch. I would rate this as one of the easier builds of the series and would be a great place to start.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are all the pieces laid out and the tools I used, Gorilla wood glue and an exacto knife. In most cases I break out the pieces just using my thumbnail. In a few cases, I use the knife to help cut out the piece. All the pieces on this build come out very easy except part of the door frame which as been a chronic issue with all the builds. </div>

This is a typical front for the buildings in the series. The doors have been the biggest challenge overall, but I'm getting the hang of them now. Overall the directions are pretty good, I do dry fit the pieces as sometimes it is hard to tell which way the pieces go together. Sometimes when you are bunching out one piece another may fall out. I just set these aside and make sure I know what number the pieces go to, in this case the numbers where on the piece that come out. The number of the piece I will use later on is on the far left side on the top piece (A4). I will mention this again later.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing I did learn from the doors is to make sure the notch that is mention in the instructions goes in this orientation. The single notch goes at the bottom and faces out. </div>

One of the few problems I have had getting the pieces out has been with the top and bottom of the door frames. As you can see below, part of the notch on the left has extra wood in the notch. I have <span style="background-color: yellow;">found</span> that this is really no big deal, just make sure you clean the notch out with a knife. </div>

The next section took me a minute to figure out as the picture wasn't super clear. Once again dry fitting really helps when you are not 100% of how the pieces fit together. Mainly which is top/bottom and left/right. I actually attache one piece backwards at first. The good thing about the gorilla wood glue is that it is sticky enough to hold the pieces together but gives you time to redo pieces if needed. </div>

The building of the Hordes has began. Looking at doing the Undead and it's going to be a lot of miniatures. I haven't ever done anything close to this number of figures in a long time and close to this number in 28mm. <br />
<br />
I really like the Mantic figures. The castings are really cool and even with 40 minis in a unit, I'm not sure if there are 2 alike. <br />
<br />
Right now, I'm working on Ghouls, Zombies, and Skeletons. Also have some Mummies and Wraiths. But right now my favorite are the Soul Reavers. Hope to get some priming done in the morning. <br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of the masses.<br />

I really like the game at this level. There is a lot going on with this many points. I think a fun quick game would be around 200 pts. As the Imperial player, I choose 2 Victory class Destroyers with a LOT of Tie support. Our last game the X-Wings ate my lunch and I wasn't going to let that happen againThe Rebels had their puny CR90 Corellian Corvette and 2 Nebulon-B Frigates support by a handful of X-Wing<span style="font-family: verdana, lucida grande, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11px; line-height: 12px;">. </span></span> Grand Moff Tarkin was my only upgrade card and he is very useful and powerful. Ethan played the Rebel scum and pick a few upgrades, not sure how much he got to really use them. (I need to use my real camera and not my phone).<br />
<br />
The setup<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pvFFqe3sTlw/VSyAJoA83yI/AAAAAAAAApQ/VCYAOBX6Yy4/s1600/CAM00378.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pvFFqe3sTlw/VSyAJoA83yI/AAAAAAAAApQ/VCYAOBX6Yy4/s1600/CAM00378.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Noticed the Rebel scum split their forces, while Grand Tarkin as commander for the destroyers kept his support close at hand.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Imperials focus on the ship on the right. An easy target with the Ties to support against those pesky X-Wing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vi7CROctDS4/VSyA8AoKYlI/AAAAAAAAApY/mTkSJZPPecg/s1600/CAM00379.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vi7CROctDS4/VSyA8AoKYlI/AAAAAAAAApY/mTkSJZPPecg/s1600/CAM00379.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The Rebels try to out maneuver the slow destroyers but with superior command and tactics, the Imperials move in for the kill.. The Tie fighters swarm the X-Wings. The Rebels on the left are no factor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the little Rebel ship is no more... Time to turn into the Rebels which have been slow to attack while taking out more X-Wing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Rebels close (finally) as the destroyers turn back. The next few turns were actually a pretty close battle. I got lucky with several rolls with the Rebels obviously usually second rate equipment and not being able to hit anything. Notice the lone X-Wing in the middle of the swarm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Tie swarm engages Luke and the destroyers continue their turning move just out of range of the Rebels. Having Grand Tarkin really helps with the turns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Rebels close the gap but their firing must be out of calibration. And the slow turn continues. Both commanders disregard orders to disengage and continue the fight. The Imperials have won the day at this point but let's see what happens. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luke is the lone X-Wing left and the Rebels continue with their shooting woes while now in range of the destroyers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-irdL_LG9hQY/VSyFvHPjmRI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/VYvoc2uOcG8/s1600/CAM00387.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-irdL_LG9hQY/VSyFvHPjmRI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/VYvoc2uOcG8/s1600/CAM00387.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luke finally engages a destroyer and... misses. The Rebels actually make a couple of good maneuvers to stay out of range of lead destroyer. The Rebels get several hits on 2nd destroyer but are getting their shields battered. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d6NSzlrDd4g/VSyGXHUlgkI/AAAAAAAAAqc/pkPx3URNmsY/s1600/CAM00388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d6NSzlrDd4g/VSyGXHUlgkI/AAAAAAAAAqc/pkPx3URNmsY/s1600/CAM00388.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And Luke is no more... The Rebels try to maneuver but the lead destroyer is turning to blast away. So the Rebel commander cuts his losses and flees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ended up playing 10 turns. I think it took about 2hrs. We did stop to take a snack break and are still learning the rules. I think the big difference in winning this game versus my loss last time was taking out the X-Wing. They got very few shots (I think 3) at my ships. Yes, they shredded my Ties but my massive numbers were able to overcome this and take out all the X-Wing. It hurt the Rebels by splitting up his forces and help me. I also got lucky in picking the correct flank to attack. We did not use objectives this game but hope to on the next one. I think they will give even more flavor to the game. </div>

So no Star Wars. But I did prime some new miniatures. Just what I need, more to paint. These are just really cool minis. They are simple but very unique and like they they will be fun to paint. They are the miniatures for the game <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/90274/dawn-rise-occulites">Dawn: Rise of the Occulites</a><br />
<br />
I've been watching the game since it was a kickstarter. I didn't KS it but I have been keep an eye on it. After watching/reading some reviews, I decided to pick it up and am very glad it did. The design, Ben Boersma has done a great job with the game and developing the world of the Occulites. The game is a very unique combination of card and dice play and is a very tactical game. The more I read and learn, the more I like the game. <br />
<br />
Here is the start of painting the first tribe. More to follow:<br />

We both really liked the game. We did play with just one core box but that was all that was need for our first game. By the end of the game we both had everything down. I did go back and look a couple of things up just to confirm we were doing things right. <br />
<br />
Love the over all feel of the game. I never was able to get my Star Destroyer in a good position to do a lot of damage, while my son was able to get behind me with his two ships and he was also able to get a squadron of X-Wing in close. His X-wing blew my Tie fighters to bits. I was on able to destroy 2 of his squadrons while he kill all of my Ties. <br />
<br />
All ships at the end of the game had lost most of their shields. I was never able to get a massive shot off which would have taken out one of his ships. He was able to get one critical hit which left me unable to turn. It took me 3 turns to get a navigate command out but by that time I was off the board edge. <br />
<br />
We will be playing a 300 point game tonight, adding a 2nd box set along with upgrade cards. I will try to take some pictures also.ajbartmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16808594944584289337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860706853596570219.post-32670774917726244642015-04-05T10:25:00.000-04:002015-04-05T10:25:29.889-04:00Star Wars ArmadaJust got my game in. I have been reading up on this one and after watching a couple of videos on game play and ready the rules, I think this one if going to be great game. I will be breaking in the ships to night. Here is a link to a blog that gives you a great feel for the game.<br />
