Much delayed Rhubarb Report

Hello all,


Sorry for not posting in a bit. Life gets in the way sometimes. Things are rather good around here. People seem to be enjoying Monsterpocalypse and the new Space Marine stuff is doing well for us. We will be bringing back some old favorites and revamping our thinking on a game or two in the near future. Stay tuned for details. We are trying to keep things interesting at Rhubarb.

Armies of Arcana

Arcana is a great game. Any fantasy game that allows you to use historical miniatures, GW fantasy miniatures, Reaper stuff, Croc Games and any other company you can think of allows players a great deal of freedom. Combined with a relatively simple rule set and complex tactical decisions on the board this game is a winner. Of course finding places that actually carry it is difficult. We just started our new campaign with the old rules while we await a shipment of the new, shiny rule set. So far there are 6 armies involved in our campaign. This campaign is designed for people to be able to move in and out of campaign so that more people can enjoy this game.

So far we have seeded our players on the first 2 land masses of our new world. We have one player playing Graccans (Ancient Greeks with fantasy elements), 2 Undead players (one Egyptian themed the other I am not sure yet), a Caliphate player (fantasy Arab/Persian/Middle Eastern army), a High Elf player (using Lord of the Rings models), and a Dwarf player. Out of these armies we have people using figs from WH Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, Crocodile Games, Reaper, Tales of War, Rebel Miniatures, Fenryll, Mega Miniatures, Wizards of the Coast, and Blood Bowl. The only thing that is important is figs being relatively compatible in scale and the base sizes working off of intervals of 25mm.

After seeding the board it took us 3 turns for anyone to bump into each other. Our only fight of the first round is the Dwarves versus the Elves. You can find more about this campaign at our Settlers of Arcana board and that map you is our campaign map. I would like to thank Jagavahn for creating that map.

Blood Bowl

Our Blood Bowl leagues are still going on. We will have a better update later once we have accounted for all of our recent results. Thanks to Dan S for running both leagues.
