Thanks.

I have been looking for containers for quite some time. But I haven't decided on buying any yet

Not that there is a lack of manufactures, but quality and price is very different, so it is hard to decide.

The same guy who painted up that crate did a more in-depth review of the product over on our club blog. Check it out here: http://chicagoskirmish.blogspot.com/2013/04/review-rust-forge-28mm-shipping-crates.html

Time for a big update! Back in January, when Chicago was buried under 2 feet of snow, I braved the weather to play a game of Tomorrow's War with Josh. He was fielding his newly painted Tau warriors, but in true DIY fashion we added them to the Galactic Frontier as the Subathi Empire. Here's the fluff for our battle:

The Slums of New Tupelov
Colony World: Fornacis III
Area: New Tupelov

New Tupelov, long prized for its position overlooking the primary spaceport on Fornacis V, has been the scene of low-intensity urban fighting between the expeditionary elements of the Subathi empire and the Terran heavy infantry. During a brief lull, a squad of heavy infantry was able to deploy a heavy anti-infantry cannon to cover a key approach used by the Subathi to move soldiers and material in and out of New Tupelov. Within days this strongpoint was responsible for the destruction of three reinforced platoons. Subathi expeditionary command quickly drew up plans for a coordinated assault against the strongpoint and the additional Terran squads presumed to be operating in the area. Shortly before twilight, Subathi pathfinders deployed into the slums to find and destroy their well-hidden enemy.

And here are a few pics from the game. It was a big battle, with action taking place all over the map!

I figure I'll keep this thread updated with photos and links to our more recent Tomorrow's War games, even if those games are 6-8 months old at this point. Here's the next installment in our mini-campaign, which we played out in February of this year.

Operation Snakepit
Colony World: Fornacis III
Area: New Tupelov

Following their decisive victory in New Tupelov’s urban core, the Subathi empire has begun redeploying its heavy weapons in preparation for a long-expected siege of the city by Terran armored divisions. Sensing an opportunity, the Thunderbolts mercenary army, operating under its own agenda, has prepared an ambush along one of these resupply corridors, hoping to catch the Subathi off-balance and inflict a devastating defeat. A setback here would give the Terrans an opening for their massed assault -- and it would serve the Thunderbolts’ own strategic purposes.
