I am playing a weird ww2 campaign following the adventures of Sargent Reickhart and his unit, a 101 airborne group of soldiers, across a Nazi occupied Europe, fighting nazis and monsters at the same time...
I made a post on the background, and another on the rules I am using (a reskin of Rangers of shadow deep), and at this moment I have made 6 AARs of games played, and the story is getting weird...
I'm making some kind of narrative games, similar to those of pulp alley, rangers of shadow deep, and many others where the underlying story is the backbone of the campaign.
Expect Nazi zombies, werewolves, vampires, summoned demons, cultists... And if course, nazis...
Have a look, and I hope you like it!!!

Very nice.

A friend told me to tell you what the blog I'm working on is about, so that you know what you are going to see before clicking in the link...
I'm used to play wargames alone, so, I have started to develop "narrative" skirmish wargames, that's it that I play stories (borrowed from other games, rpg, films or made up myself)...
I'm tired of the usual "you deploy in this side, I deploy there... Let's kick some asses", and I look for a story to work as the backbone of the game I'm playing.
Nothing new, you may see it in pulp alley, rangers of shadow deep, arkeo obskura... Or any rpg...
So, in my blog you will find stories, stories that I'll be playing and showing to all of you... Always in the Weird side of history (I'm in love with call of cthulhu/pulp/weird ww2 settings)
Up to now, in the blog, you will follow the adventures of Sargent Reickhart and his unit of paratrooper belonging to 101 airborne in a Europe occupied by nazis and monsters...

All these pictures are from actual games that I have played along this campaign, and full AARs with pictures are in the blog.
I'll keep playing and updating this thread for those interested...
And of course... Hope you like it!!!!

Cool Beans! :D

I do like your blog, have it bookmarked for further reading.
Especially liked the Dog Soldiers episode - one of my favourite 'corny but great' films.
Every Town has it's Secrets next.

Thanks a lot for you support, I hope you enjoyed reading the Reports.
Weird ww2 is a blast, but not everybody enjoys it, I love to think of it as a horror/action movie, with scenes, plot twists...
I'm planning some games more, not only in weird ww2 setting, but also pulp in a call of cthulhu style

Getting ready for an assault to a French mansion that is used by Nazis as headquarters...

I did, and read all the other posts for your weird war gaming. So I will now be fallowing your blogger.
-
great project.

Brilliant more power to your elbow.
:)

This looks awesome. I have a German army for Konflikt '47. They will be great to use with this. What are you using for scenarios? Are you just using the regular scenarios from the RoSD books?
-
Thanks everybody for your support!!!
For weird world war 2 I used several Rangers of shadow deep scenarios, also some homemade (the bunker, dog soldier...), and others are adapted from different rpgs (never going home, weird wars...)
You could use all the Rangers of shadow deep scenarios with a little twist to fit www2.
My intention is to continue playing weird ww2, but I wanted to change a bit and play a few pulp games.
I have thought of some scenarios that are going to be cool, but I want to finish before the Pulp campaign I'm playing.
Keep weird!!
I'll be back...

Welcome to the weird, brother.

I'll be back as soon as I finish the Pulp campaign I'm playing right now.
I have new ideas for scenarios... Always on the weird side of ww2...

After a long break playing a pulp campaign based in a pulp alley supplement (perilous Island) I'm planning some weird ww2 games, and right now I'm preparing scenery for the next game...
Sargent Reickhart and his men will keep on fighting nazis and monsters across a devastated Europe...
Weird ww2 games will come back shortly...
If you are interested in the Pulp campaign (8 reports of games following a dissapeared archeologist that ends in a lost city buried in the sands of the desert) follow this link to the first chapter...

Have to say one of my favourite new blogs and one I will be taking some inspiration from for my own solo wargames. Especially the WW2 US Airborne idea.
Did you make all the Egyptian terrain? If so, can I ask what you used?
Looking forward to future updates.
Cheers

Thanks a lot!! I really appreciate your support!! It means a lot to me!!
The egyptian terrain is a mixture from many different sources:
-columns are a mix from a boardgame and others are made out of wine bottles corks...
-sphinx are from playmobil (yes... Playmobil)
-obelisk are 3D printed
-big walls and temple are from a toy set for kids (or grown kids, as is this case)
-palm trees are aliexpress ones (10 for 3€)
-some scatter terrain is 3Dprinted and a mix of Warhammer bits...
And I think that's all...
Hope you stay tuned, the weird ww2 campaign is going on...
-
I forgot to make an update with a terrain post.
It's a piece of terrain for an upcoming weird ww2 game, it fits as an objective and as scatter terrain, and for under 3€!!!

This was at the beginning, but I was pointed out that the canopy was wrong, so I changed it a bit...
