Planetstrike

I recently purchased both the Planetstrike expansion for 40k, and an Imperial Bastion. I must say, the Bastion was a joy to put together. It is well designed, and was easy to build. No swearing necessary!

The Planetstrike book is cheap at only about $27, with some sweet additions. I've yet to play a Planetstrike game, as my scehdule is difficult to line up with that of my friends'. Next time I play a game though, I'd like to make it a Planetstrike mission, so that I can actually get the feel of these games. With the Planetary Empires expansion not far off (less than two weeks, actually), 40k is now perfectly set up for protracted campaigns, with the normal missions in the rule book, Cities of Death and Planetstrike. I'm going to suggest that my play group sets up a campaign using each of the missions.

... First, we have to complete our SC40k campaign.. if we can ever all get together that is. More on that some other time.

Tournery Thoughts

There's been a lot of shuffling feet with the 1850 tourney that I was supposed to be taking part in. I submitted my list on time and paid my fees before the deadline, but it appears that I have been dropped from the tournament. As you can imagine, I'm a little frutrated. I'm awaiting a response to find out if I can at least get my money back.

...

Ah well, at least I was able to construct a solid list out of all of this. I'll continue to paint and get games in when I can. I think I'll talk to damien_frosst about setting up our own tournament. Maybe things will be slightly more organised that way. We'll see.
