Thank you. I'm slowly getting better at it and manage to get decent shots sometimes.

I was happy to see this coming to Osprey.  I look forward to adding it to my collection of Osprey Wargaming Series- Blue Books!

I am intrigued by the Solo-play rules.

Always found the current post-apocalyptic offerings veer too Mad Max/Fallout for my taste - so I'm watching this one with keen interest. Some day I'll do a set up for the Moscow metro. :)

Metro tunnels, tracks, and stations would make for a great table.

Some really great stuff, the figures and table look really good.
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

Thank you. Fun with a high coolness quotient is what works for me.

I'm listening to the first book, Metro 2033, on Audible at the moment - SO atmospheric, although the narrator's faux Russian accent is a bit hard to take at times!

Audiobooks are tough. I had "A Prayer to Saint Strelok" turned into one and listening to the auditions was brutal.

Even tho I specified 'no accents. focus on the tone of the story', 7 out of 10 tried to act/dramatize their way through it with terrible, distracting effect. Others sounded like perky newscasters reporting the weather. Utter detachment/incomprehension of what they were reading. In the end, I went with a college-age kid with extensive theater experience.

He did well, BTW.

Is that bunker made from a electrical outlet box?

Oh and some not-Snorks and another Bloodsucker. Not quite finished but good enough for pictures.
