Soviets vs Nazis

Still working away on my late war Germans vs Russians game using the one page rule set FUBAR.  I think I'm set as far as miniatures are concerned, but I did just start assembling Warlord's plastic Soviet Infantry (Winter) set.  Mainly though that's looking ahead to possibly running the game at a convention.  What I plan for Heagercon (my personal gaming convention) will be relatively small.

The main thing I'm working on now for this game are various playing aids, mainly tokens and roster sheets.  I'm producing these using Google Docs.  At first I was getting frustrated by the perceived lack of functionality in Google Draw, though I started to think outside the box and am now somewhat pleased by the results so far.

To make the tokens I'm using this stuff that's for jewelry making (I think).  There are several videos on Youtube showing how to make tokens for wargames.  This is the one I followed:  Tokens.  I'm not too happy with the image quality of the ones I made, but I don't want to get too bogged down with just this one aspect.  Once I have them complete I'll post some pictures.

One small setback I suffered was due to my middle child's best friend.  I have the game set up on my small table in my basement.  The terrain tiles are 2'X2' drywall pieces that I applied textured paint to before painting black and drybrushing gray.  On top of that I have a bunch of ruins that I made out of foam and cork, and a building from Crescent Root.  Anyway, the drywall tiles hang over my table, and the kids were playing with their plastic bowling set, which of course they set up right by my table.  My kid's friend, even after being admonished to be careful, stooped down to pick up the bowling pins that were kinda under the table, and when he stood up he hit the corner of one of the tiles and knocked everything every which way.  I still don't have it set back up, still seething.

But, I will soldier on.
