Hey guys, yup i’m still alive. Actually been suffering from a little hobby burnout for the past few months (serves me right for attempting to paint all my christmas stuff in one go) so have been giving a few of my other hobbies a little love. Well finally got back to it today with a small game of Bolt Action  and thats my belated pledge.

Quickly on to the questions before i post the pics from the game.

1) I really dont know it’s not something i’ve come accross personally (I dont get out much). I suppose if the games are set in the same universe and time period within that universe I don’t see why characters couldnt cross between games. On the other hand I couldnt see a crossover working with Rick grimes from the Walking Dead Board game making an appearance in the Resident Evil 2 board game. Then again I’m a strong believer in doing what you want with your hobby to make it fun so really it’s down to the individuals involved as to what they want to try for a laugh. (ouch got a splinter from this fence i’m sitting on).

2) Mmmm. It’s ok for the guys who can get to conventions but some of us cant and the only way we can get these Mini’s is by going on ebay and then you end up paying silly £ for them. I think I would prefer it if the “Exclusive Mini” was something like a pre-release, perhaps getting it 12 months earlier than it going to retail. After all, theres no way for the guys selling the exclusives to know if the guy buying the mini actually collects thier stuff or is just out to make a quick buck.

3) Uhhhm yeah a bit. With Matty being Autistic his tactics can be a little errrm… unconventional…. and he’s not very  co-operatative either, which can prove a bit annoying when you think you’ve made that game changing move and just need a little help from one of Matty’s units only to watch it head off on some random mission only Matty knows about.
