This will be my first report from my new house.
After working at the office I have been renovating
and also moving to late hours for almost a month.
Now me and the Mrs are installed and it feels
really great. I will also be able to continue my
hobby and building scenery and painting figs and
other creative things.
Before leaving the village that I once lived in
I made a find and bought 4 plastic-boats for
a total sum of 4 euros. Cheap and creative. I will
use the hulls as the frame and backbone of pirate-
ships and other vessels in my pirate-skirmishgame.
I will build a wooden deck,masts and sails and fit
them with cannons and other details. The scale is
really nice and will fit a rowdy bunch of sailors
or pirates and offer the possibility for skirmish
in navalbattles and boardings.
These boats will be a nice addition to my smaller
boats that I bought earlier.
I have bought a boardgame called "conquest of the empire"
second hand for 30 Euros and I fell in love with
the figures and the graphical look of the game.
I have read that the game include a standard version
and also a advanced game. Some critics on the internet
write that it is a game with confusing rules but I
have been told that some have rewritten the rules
more pedagocial and published it on some website.
I will start looking for these "extra rules" as soon
as I will get some freetime.
Two nice finds indeed and I am thrilled to start working
with my boats and start making my own pirate-skirmish
game called "Las piratas". :)
Detta är min första rapport som jag skrivit i mitt nya
hus. Efter att ha arbetat på kontoret har jag renoverat
och flyttat sent varje kväll i snart en månad.
Nu är jag och min fru inflyttade och det känns mycket bra.
Jag kommer att kunna fortsätta med min hobby i min
nya bostad och det kommer att bli många nya projekt
där jag kan bygga scenografi och andra kreativa projekt.
Innan vi flyttade från det lilla samhället där vi bodde
så fyndade jag 4 plastbåtar för totalt 40 kronor.
Billigt och kreativt. Jag kommer att använda dessa båtskrov
som stommar när jag ska bygga egna skepp till mitt
eget piratspel. Jag kommer att bygga trädäck, master,
segel och utrusta dessa med kanoner och andra detaljer.
Skalan blir perfekt för att husera grupper med sjömän och
pirater.Båtarnas utformning passar ypperligt för sjöslag
och bordningar mm. Ett välkommet tillägg till mitt tidigare
inköp av småbåtar i plast.
Jag har köpte begagnat ett bordsspel vid namn "conquest of the empire"
för 300 kronor och gillar verkligen figurerna och det grafiska.
Jag har läst att spelet ska vara uppdelat i en standard
version och en avancerad. Kritiker har skrivit att spelets regler
är mycket förvirrande men detta finns det en lösning på eftersom
entusiaster har förenklat och skrivit ner dessa regler i ett
mer pedagogiskt utförande som finns tillgängligt på nätet.
Jag kommer att leta upp dessa "förenklade regler" så fort jag får mer
fritid.
Två riktigt trevliga fynd och jag är mycket angelägen om att
börja bygga mina skepp samt skriva ner reglerna till mitt eget
piratspel som jag döpt till "Las piratas". :)

Finds and figures
Due to my renovation of my new house I
have not been so active but here is a new
report.Last month me and the Mrs. went
to the little swedish town of Ullared to buy
a lot of things needed to the new home.
I bought some plastic containers to use
moving my vehicles from home and to the
gaming club.They were both cheap and
robust and fit perfectly to one of my
bags. :)
I found some nice boats of plastic that I
will convert to my pirate-skirmish.
I will use the frame and glue on some details
and paint them with shading and "dirt"
to give the boats a more varnished and
antique look. Hoppefully the finished
result will look more like these boats:

My sweet wife also gave me a nice present
and it was the famous game of Civilization 5.
I love the earlier versions especially the
first one eventhough the graphics were a
little bit rough. :)
I also got a gift from a friend containing
some futuristic soldiers and a russian
sniper to SoTR.I will use them
for my Apocalyptic zombie-game as a
heavy military-squad.
Finally I have bought some flying dragons
to my ongoing project: Hugg och slag.
I think these figures will give the game
a extra dimension because I will use the
as "fantasy-bombers". Using fire and the
possibility that they can move fast and
afflict a lot of damage is thrilling.The stats
will be made so that these creatures are
vulnerable and must be handle with care
playing the game.The figures will be
used in the scale of 1:72.
