You Are Not Evicting Time: Attack Wing Playing, Sherlock Holmes Impersonating & Doctor Who RPGing

 So, what nerdy business has been happening with The Quail and Sister Superior of late?  What have I been doing, apart from presumably continuing work on my ruined buildings?

Well, a week or two ago the two of us went round to visit Kenny who had invited us over to play Star Trek Attack Wing.  Sister Superior was a little nervous about this - her patience holds out for board and card games but full on wargames can sap at her a little.  Still, Attack Wing is kinda Kenny's bag so along we went for one of several nerdy gatherings I've had in recent weeks.  Below you'll find some rambling on Attack Wing, a Sherlock Holmes board game and my latest RPG shenanigans.

"Kiff, I have made it with a woman.  Inform the crew."

So, what's been happening in the world of George's nerdity since last I blogged?

Round Perdition's Flame - My First Games Of Star Trek Attack Wing

Explosions in the Mutara Nebula

I've written a couple of times before about the Star Trek RPG I occasionally run.  This is a very Next Gen style affair, all about the soul and diplomacy and resolving problems peacefully.  We only do violent starship-style exchanges for end of season affairs - much like the Next Gen TV show did, in fact.

Despite that, sometimes I have an itch for spaceship combat that I like to scratch.  One of the first wargames I played when I got back into the hobby as an adult was the Babylon 5 starship combat game, and last year I got the Star Fleet version of those rules.  (I've still to give them a try - I must get someone onboard to try them out sometimes soon)

Aaron introduced this to me a decade ago, when my Warhammer urge was lying fallow.

However, another Star Trek game is the focus of today's post.  A game I've walked past on Static's shelves for ages but never tried.  A game whose figures I've seen and glanced at as RPG props but always passed up. A game part of a family of several other popular games but of which I have no experience of.

I speak of Star Trek: Attack Wing.
