Stepping upon the Field of Glory

Thursday, April 16, 2009

I neglected to mention this earlier, but I finally purchased Field of Glory and subsequently ordered and purchased two expansions, Rise of Rome: Republican Rome at War and Legions Triumphant: Imperial Rome at War.

Monsterpocalypse

Friday, November 16, 2007

I just learned in this Dr. Rotwang article that Privateer Press will be releasing a collectible miniatures game inspired by Japanese giant monster movies: Monsterpocalypse.
