My daughter decided this morning that she wanted to play a “game like daddy plays” with her Littlest Pet Shop animals. So we headed down to the basement, set up a world, and deployed our forces.

The rules are as follows:

-Each player gets an equal number of pet shop animals.

-Each player may choose to take pet shop animals of the same type, in which case they move together and combine their combat abilities.

-Pet shop animals are deployed all over the table.

-Each player takes a turn rolling a GW scatter die. A chosen petshop animal then moves as far as you want in the direction of the arrow unless they come near an enemy pet shop animal, or have to stop because of terrain.

-When two enemy pet shop animals meet, roll a GW artillery die. The highest result wins. If the result is an “explosion” then the player that rolled it automatically wins. In the case of a tie, reroll the dice.

-Several pet shop animals of a single type move and fight in a similar way, as long as they are within a few inches of each other. When fighting with a group of pet shop animals, you roll the GW artillery die, and a d6 for each contributing animal. Add up the total to determine what you get in combat. Highest result wins. If a group loses, then they lose one member. Keep fighting until one side has eliminated all enemy pet shop animals.

My daughter proved to be a very clever adversary. Her ability to roll explosions against my 4 member snail brigade of doom won her the day with a very heroic purple squirrel.

Ahsa Ruyar for Confrontation and Cadwallon by Rackham.

A Gormandizer from Comfy Chair Games. Originally made for the game Spinespur, I will be using it instead as a special objective in our upcoming Confrontation campaign.

Progress on the bridge. The banks still need a bit more detail work and the bridge itself is far from done but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The farm is finished. I’m rather pleased with the thatched roof.

I’ve decided to split off the Confrontation campaign into its own Tumblr just to keep it clean and focused. The group’s progress will be charted there as I am fed updates from the GM. Nothing terribly exciting at the moment but some background, rules, and a higher res version of the map with player starting locations.

Progress on the farm and the addition of a new project; the bridge! The interior of the farm house is finished so hopefully it is a quick sprint to the end of this structure. Once these two settings are complete I will have finished all the pieces I need to make for our group’s Confrontation campaign. I’ll be back to painting miniatures again for awhile.

A couple closer shots of the inn for detail. I’m calling this project done now. On to the farmhouse!

And of course with the completion of one project, I prepare the next. This time a thatched farmhouse to spare me weeks of shingling.

Almost finished with the inn. Only some weathering and detailing to go. Hooray!
