Victory by Any Means System Generator

Posted in Computing, Gaming, Victory by Any Means on June 18th, 2009 by admin

A new upload for you all.

Generating systems in Victory by Any Means can be a little daunting if using the Admiral level system presented in the Campaign Moderators Companion.

The little program linked below is a little rough about the edges (making it pretty is only a priority when it works right?), but it will take a lot of the stress out of generating systems - especially in an exploration campaign.

The interface couldn’t be simpler - simply decide whether the system is to include a Homeworld or not by checking the checkbox, and hit “Generate System”. Each click of Generate System will create a new system using the full rules. Once generated the system text can be copied and pasted into a text-editor of your choice.

To install the program, download the zip-file and extract the contents somewhere convenient. Then simply double-click on “setup.exe”. The program will install, and include a start-menu entry to launch the program. Uninstall it using the control panel in the usual way.

Battlestations Action Summary and Adventure

Posted in Battlestations, Gaming on March 1st, 2009 by admin

I’ve just uploaded two new files for Battlestations,

The first is an action summary, which includes most of the commonly used actions for all of the main supplements - great to print out and issue to your players. The front has personal actions, the reverse actions for battlestations, divided by module type.

The second file is the first part of a mini-campaign, entitled “Bushwhack at Epsilon-Delta” - a rescue mission…

The files can be downloaded here:

Gallery Updated

Posted in Gaming on November 9th, 2008 by admin

I’ve just updated the Gallery section with some pictures of Napoleonic era frigates. I’ve just recieved and started painting a group of warships - all at 1/2400 scale (around 1″ in length for the frigates, not much larger for the ships of the line).

The figures are extremely good - lots of detail for something so small, plus very reasonably priced and easy to assemble. I hope to add more pictures as the fleets are completed (I have three English 3rd rate ships of the line around 75% completed).

Mercenary Air Squadron: WW2

Posted in Mercenary Air Squadron on August 7th, 2008 by admin

This weeks “Bonus Feature” if you will is a game-summary sheet for “Mercenary Air Squadron: World War II

The game is really neat, but as an expansion suffers from having its rules distributed across a couple of books, with no summary to speak of.

So here it is:
