The Curious Incident of the Interviewer in the Night-Time

I've just been contacted by a journalism student from Monash Churchill who wants to do some interviews and write a story about Gippsland Gamers for an assignment. He will need parental permission for those under 18 to be interviewed. I've told him to bring the permission forms with him when he comes - probably this week.

EASTER WARS


The Terrible Toads of the Swamps or Surpassing Stench have banned Easter. Bad news for the oppressed Teddy Bear Peasants. Luckily, teams of Commando Ninja Easter Bunnies are determined to see Easter comes to the swamps. By any means necessary.
The Toads in question.
Easter Wars is on this Thursday, 17th of April from 13:00-15:30.
Come along and paint up your own crack squad of Ninja Commando Easter Bunnies and battle through the Terrible Toads to deliver your cargo of eggs, using a simplified variant of the FANTICIDE rules.

  • Learn how to paint your own 28mm Wargames figures.
  • Learn how to lead them in combat using simple, but versatile rules.
  • Take home three highly detailed Eureka Miniatures samurai rabbits and a D10 gaming die.
  • Also chocolate.
Ninja Commando Easter Bunny Team Red takes out a sentry.

The miniatures have kindly been supplied at a hefty discount by Nic Robson of Eureka Miniatures, possibly the nicest bald man in Wargames (and that's saying something!). Check out Eureka's website for other cool figures.

As always, bookings are esential via the Coal Creek website, or PH: 5655 1811.

A frenzied melee in the middle of the swamps.

But wait... there's more!
On Sunday 20th, to coincide with the annual Coal Creek Egg Hunt, we'll be running FREE participation games of Easter Wars from 10:00. Come along and experience the fast-paced thrills of Ninja Bunny Commando Combat - you don't get to keep the figures, but you DO get to keep the chocolate and the rules.

And you don't need to book.

See you there!

Where have all our eggs gone?

Patience furry freinds -we shall bring them to you!
All eggs will be CRUSHED!!

GG finds a path...

Well, it took a while because Milsims never seems to bother to restock things, but I finally got the Pathfinder Beginner Box (by going to Mind Games instead!) along with the Reaper Bones figures for the pre-generated characters included. Like the Star Wars Edge of the Empire game, this one teaches you as you play, so we'll certainly be having a shot at this in the near future.
