In The Beginning....

I've been wargaming on and off since I was about 14 years old but of course adulthood, career, marriage, kids etc. all intervened and gaming fell by the wayside...Then in 2006 I stumbled upon Ed and his rules at  Two Hour Wargames and quickly became a fan of the All Things Zombie series of games and Ed's 'reaction system' driven rule sets.

Many years (and many THW rulesets later) THW has recently published '5150 Fighter Command' written by Javier Herrero and Ed Teixera and upon reading the reviews and the batreps posted on-line it seemed to me that this might just be the set of rules which could tempt me into trying Sci-fi gaming......

So, I downloaded the rules, I've had a quick read-through (see my first impressions below), ordered some plastic spaceships from em4 miniatures (see pics below) and then decided to blog my adventures into Space....and well, here we are......I don't know whether it'll last, I don't quite know how I'll find time to play 5150FC and update this blog, but we'll suck it and see......
