‘1490 Doom’ – The World Died at the End of the 15th Century
by A review of 1490 DOOM, a grimdark medieval skirmish game in which small bands of survivors fight to gain height above a deadly fog, “the Creeping Death”.

As many I fell into the wargame cauldron when I was a kid, which for me was during the 90s. I also do a lot of role playing and board games.
I love discovering new games and innovative rule systems, so I play a lot of different wargames, historical as well as fictional. But there are some to which I get back time and time again, like "Infinity", "Onepagerules", "Fireball Forward", "Blücher", "5 leagues from the borderlands" and "5 parsecs from home" (the Sci-Fi cousin of the previous one).
I'm not keen on competitive play (my list above contains solo/coop games and another one without point system...), but meeting fellow wargamers at a tournament is its own reward.
I recently got into Malifaux and I'd like to share that discovering with you!
Be on top of your gameboard : terrain in Malifaux 4th
The 4th Edition of Malifaux has strengthened the role terrain plays in the game. Your models can climb walls, jump from rooftop to rooftop, smash through palisades, and push their opponents off ruined towers. Some mission objectives even involve claiming the high ground or causing falls!
Infinity, a tactical and reactive wargame
Infinity is a tactical science fiction miniatures game where every battle is played out in small, elite squads. Combining strategy, bluffing, and action, the system relies on dynamic command and reaction mechanics, offering total immersion on detailed game tables. Every decision counts, every line of sight can be fatal, making Infinity a game as challenging as it is exciting.
