Painting Operation Icestorm Nomads

Sometimes you have to make some time for the squishy ones that supply you with food and companionship (in that order of priority). 

I co-bought Operation Icestorm with a friend of mine and have played it more with my awesome wife than him. The git (*waves*). Whilst wife and I have been playing 10+ games we did so with unpainted, unglued figures without arms, to get the hang of it. 

My contribution to family togetherness was getting these Infinity figures painted and ready to use in game. Because of wuv. Duh.

I touched Infinity and I loved it! Part 3; Playing your first game.

Yes its done. I have played my first game, and it was good. Great even.

So 6 months and 30 days after purchasing, I finally had my co-purchaser over to try out Operation Icestorm. Using our figures, and the included pack which starts you like a tutorial mission you would find in any PC game; simple mechanics, basic premise with more and more layers each time you finish a mission. For the moment, lets discuss this using the rules learned thus far. No delayed ARO’s etc.

3 grunts vs 3 grunts, kill the opposing team. Rifle and knife for each guy. No leaders.

Time Owning Infinity set without having played Infinity Set: 16 weeks and 2 hours.

Blame the child people, blame the child. 

So with the release of Third edition for Infinity (no idea what the primary difference is) Corvus Belli released their rulebook online and free to download, my first reaction...

I need more low profile scenery!

Operation Icestorm appears to be gaining a significant amount of momentum across independent stores in the UK, as this is the first pop-up gaming boxed set that Corvus Belli have put together that's really breached the public eye and its a cracker. I've got it and I can already tell you its miniatures are incredible. The game I've yet to have time to play with a new baby. Icestorm.
