General Discussion / Nautilus series on AMC

« Last post by Kelly on June 24, 2025, 11:03:14 pm »

Has anyone else seen any advertisements for the Nautilus series coming out on Sunday, or have any interest in it?

https://www.amc.com/shows/nautilus--1072559

I have my doubts as to how closely this will be following the original 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but from the trailer it looks like there will be enough action scenes to be a hit in our house.  I successfully avoided the Nemo's War boardgame for the better part of a decade, but depending on how this show turns out I may have to break down and pick one up.

The Pavilus Binary War / Re: Quick Update

I would definitely be interested in hearing about both the campaign results, and also any lessons learned for going forward.  Will you be retaining the system map, or would that be changing?

The campaign wrapped up pretty much at a tie! My friend's Space Marines held a small advantage (about 15-20 victory points, although we were both over 200 IIRC), but it was competitive until the end. Ultimately, it was a bit of a stalemate, at least on the ground.

We are planning to add some things to spend points on in the next iteration, as we found ourselves with a major surplus of resource points. As a result, it was trivial to simply replace any lost units, so ultimately the battles weren't having as much impact as we would like. We also are going to make it so that air units can battle every turn, as it felt like they didn't have enough to do. Overall, the basic framework proved to be pretty solid.

The map is going to remain the same for this next go-around; we always figured our first attempt was just a beta test of sorts, so we still want to play it "for real." Plus, if I'm being honest I'm not quite ready to leave the Binary just yet! I've gotten a little attached to the setting I came up with lol.

True.  With rumors swirling about Warlord's future, I could also see it being dropped. 

However, that is less of a problem for me now because i have the rules and no one can take them away. 

Edition changes are worse because no one wants to play old rules, but they will play dead ones? 

It is a strange world we live in, but it is true!

After three (possibly more) years of having it on my radar to buy, I finally picked up a hard back copy of Victory at Sea from Warlord.  I now expect a new edition in about 3-6 months. 

Another edition is not the worst case scenario... I have had too many games dropped after I bought in to count, not to mention companies folding.  I backed the Firestorm Galaxy Kickstarter at 11, went to sleep dreaming about new ships, and then got the Spartan closure email the next morning on the way to work.

Yeah, that sounds great!

I bet you could grab Mike too.  He is a member of this board. 

Edit: You sly dog!  You and Man Battlestations gets a shout-out in the book!

General Discussion / Re: 3D STL files for Aeronef

 Going to give an upvote to Javelin, or as he sometimes calls himself, National Cheese Emporium. High quality STL sculptor, and with little to no issues with printing, he ran an excellent service on Shapeways Marketplace ( Much mourned) and now on Cults3D and CGTrader.

 He is reliable as a seller, and will even take suggestions - He upscaled one of his 3mm models to 6mm on my request.

 I don't have any of his Imperial Skies items, but I have had my eye on his civilian ships for some conversion potential for DW.

I've printed a number of Javelin's 6mm/8mm scifi models for Legions Imperialis! Can confrim, they do quality work.
