There’s usually loads of D6 cubes wherever GW, Bolt Action and similar games are sold. Even Amazon has the Chessex sets. Should be simple and loads of colour choices…

all games are miniatures agnostic

I think the most legendary starter boxes was the original Hawk wargames Drop zone Commander starter. 2 forces, a city …. literally, paper playmat, all tokens and rulebook. omg. it was so good. I think […]

Three really good GBs again this week. Congrats to the winners.
