I know last year I had thought I'd get in a few more games than what I actually did, but you never know.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Painting Goal: None</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Gaming Goal: None</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b>Marvel Crisis Protocol</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />MCP was my main game in 2023, and it looks to also be in 2024. I honestly do not currently see a game system that will be taking over in 2024. I am excited for some of the new releases coming out early this year and it will allow me to play a new Affiliation.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />That is one thing that I like about MCP. If you get tired of playing one Affiliation, just change it up to another (and you can still "splash" in your favorite characters).</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Painting Goal: 2024 will be much like 2023 in regards to painting, when I am in the mood or when a “new, cool” model gets released it will take priority. I still have to get to some of the models in the newest Core Set that was released a few months back. Right now models are getting done to fill in spots/roles in our current rosters.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Gaming Goal: With 80+ games played in 2023 (which once again was a record for me with a single game system), 2024 “should” be a good year too. Just like last year, I am going to set my goal of just shy of 1 game a week with a total of 50 games played for 2024. I need to keep it reasonable just in case "life" gets in the way.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b>Star Wars Legion</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b>Star Wars Legion (SWL) is one I am unsure about just like Bolt Action above. Usually when I have time to get a game in, we play Marvel Crisis Protocol. I think I will leave this one up as a "just in case".</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Painting Goal: None</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Gaming Goal: None</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b>New Games for 2024?</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I can HONESTLY say that I am not looking into any new games for 2024. Star Wars Shatterpoint was a possibility last year (and we did not jump on that) and I really do not see anything else this year. Atomic Mass Games is doing a nice job on releases for Marvel Crisis Protocol, and it is keeping me excited.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b>Events</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />2023 was actually a pretty good year in events for me and as much as I would like to keep that up, I think realistic 2024 may be a few less, and a few changes. AdeptiCon is our yearly staple event and especially with living in the Midwest, so as long as we can get registered for the events we want, that one is a must attend. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <br />New for this year will be Cherokee Open 2024, the Tournament Organizer for Marvel Crisis Protocol in 2023 is not able to run it in 2024 and Frontline Gaming had asked for a volunteer. I decided to step up and offer my services. I do like attending Frontline Gaming events and had never been to the Cherokee Open yet, so I thought this would be a fun event. This is where a lot my time at the end of 2023 went into painting terrain for this event</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Unfortunately with adding a new event, some previous events will fall of the list. One of these is Frontline Gaming's Atlantic City Open. I really enjoy attending Atlantic City Open, and we made it out there the last two years, but my vacation days are limited this year and I cannot justify that long of a drive. Another event with distance in Nove Open. I really thougt we had a chance in attending in 2024, but my company changed some of their days for their floating Holidays and removed a day from Labor Day weekend and added it to Christmas. So with a shortage of vacation days, NOVA Open in 2024 will be tough to attend, but we still may do it.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />A new event we attended in 2023 was Warfaire Weekend in St. Louis. St. Louis is not a far drive (about 5 hours), but I was not too impressed with the event. It may have to do that the location was under construction and some of the restaurants that were opened in years past have been closed/torn down. It "may" be one to add again in the future, but I do not think it will be one to use up vacation for this year.<br />In the fall we also have a couple more local events, Michigan GT and Second Wind. 2023 saw us attending both of these events for Marvel Crisis Protocol, and I think these are two we will be shooting for once again in 2024. Both events are less than a 2 hours drive, the issue with Second Wind will be if we can get in. This event sells out quickly</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the big events of the year, Las Vegas Open is going to have to be a pass again in 2024. 2025 is doable (as I still have airfare credit), but it will depend on how much money is spent on our Fall 2024 events.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I am also still thinking about adding another Canadian event weekend, it is just a matter of finding the right one and what dates will work.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Here is my tentative list of events for 2024.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />January 18th - 21st: Las Vegas Open (Not Attending)<br />February 23rd - 25th: Cherokee Open (Tournament Organizer)<br />March 20th - 24th: AdeptiCon<br />June 14th -16th: Atlantic City Open (Not Attending)<br />August 29th - September 1st: NOVA Open (?)<br />October xx - xx: Michigan<br />October xx - xx: Second Wind 6<br />October 31st - November 3rd: Warfaire Weekend (Doubtful)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />As you can see above I still included events that I know we are not attending for sure, just so that I still have a record of the dates. Michigan GT and Second Wind 6, the dates are unknown as of this writiing.<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now we’ll see if the above holds true for 2024. </span></div>Dean Vuckovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06510946576715236259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253451061149609759.post-56274623177990285372023-12-31T08:00:00.076-05:002023-12-31T08:00:00.129-05:002023 Year in Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzvPejFO75STfjrcfnpQnBRqI81oRLtg37YrH6VSfIs3p2LLhrJBWvW7vrdgh0QVxXiyX4iv7baRh57ykPuFrmrGue2mBMGH7mCAFuBIIg2frk5wVbG3vGp-mhctleJCN82bmino3JwP96WKr_paYwlB-1Po7ctpjJl9Lyscs1Uj4YJHjlMf9iTjC6IhA/s442/IMG_2986.AVIF" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="442" height="99" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzvPejFO75STfjrcfnpQnBRqI81oRLtg37YrH6VSfIs3p2LLhrJBWvW7vrdgh0QVxXiyX4iv7baRh57ykPuFrmrGue2mBMGH7mCAFuBIIg2frk5wVbG3vGp-mhctleJCN82bmino3JwP96WKr_paYwlB-1Po7ctpjJl9Lyscs1Uj4YJHjlMf9iTjC6IhA/w200-h99/IMG_2986.AVIF" width="200" /></a></div>As we come to the close of 2023 and welcome 2024, it is that time of the year for my annual "2023 Year in Review".<p></p><div>As I do each year, 2023 started with a "<a href="https://theoldwestchronicle.blogspot.com/2022/01/whats-in-store-for-2022.html" target="_blank">What's in store for 2023!</a>" so we will use that post as a basis for our year in review.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Bolt Action</b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Painting Goal: None currently, we have enough models painted for the 1000 point event and plenty for the 450 points for AdeptiCon.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Gaming Goal: We will probably be playing 3 games at the event, and I can see at least another 2 for the year. For now I am going to keep it real low at 5 games and we shall see what happens.</i></div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>As stated above, I had no expectations of painting anything for Bolt Action, and that stayed the same. I did manage to get in 3 games of Bolt Action, but fell short of 5 for the year. We played at one event early in the year, but did not manage to play at AdeptiCon.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Marvel Crisis Protocol</b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Painting Goal: I am not making any promises on this one. For 2022 I painted around 100 models for the game and we now have painted what really need. I still have 30+ models in the back log for the game and I am currently painting them when I am in the mood. I am sure when a “new, cool” model gets released it will take priority.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Gaming Goal: With 60+ games played in 2022 (which was a record for me with a single game system), 2023 “should” be a good year too. I am going to set my goal of just shy of 1 game a week with a total of 50 games played for 2023.</i></div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>Marvel Crisis Protocol was/is the staple game for my son and I currently, where most of our time has been spent with this game. In regards to painting models, I did manage to paint another 22 models for the year and as stated, it was mainly models that I thought were cool or wanted to try out in a new list. Most of my time the last few months has been catching up on painting terrain for MCP, and boy do we know have a lot of terrain.</div><div><br /></div><div>For gaming, I set another new record with 90 games played for 2023 (a new record for single game system). We ended up playing at quite a few events (local and distance) and quite a few games at home. With the quick game play of Marvel Crisis Protocol, we will be riding MCP into 2024.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Middle-earth SBG</b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Painting Goal: This one is hard to say, nothing is currently planned, but there is a chance that a model here or there may need to be completed.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Gaming Goal: Also as above, a few games of practice will be needed, in either case, I think maybe I can get in 1-2 games in for the year.</i></div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>Middle-earth SBG was a bust this year. I did not play Battle Companies at AdeptiCon, nor did we attend the NOVA Open. I think these models will still be staying in the gaming bag in the future.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Warhammer 40,000</b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Painting Goal: Currently no plans.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Gaming Goal: Currently no plans.</i></div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>I had no plans for Warhammer 40,000 this past year and it stayed that way, even with the release of a new edition. I realized the Games Workshop money grab once again and the game stayed on the shelf.

No models were painted and no games played were played. Atomic Mass Games did release a new game called Star Wars Shatterpoint which is more skirmish based like Marvel Crisis Protocol, but we did not jump on that game either. We have been just having too much fun with Marvel Crisis Protocol, nothing else fit in.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>New Games for 2023?</b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>As I had mentioned twice above “see below”, Atomic Mass Games (makers of MCP, and current owner of SWL) are releasing a new Star Wars game this Summer called “Star War Shatterpoint”. AMG currently has only teased the game with planned demos at AdeptiCon 2023, but as of now looks to be played very similar to MCP. If that is the case, this game will be competing for time with Star Wars Legion.</i></div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>I think I can honestly say that 2023 was the first year I probably did not get into a new game. Already mentioned above plenty of times, MCP was the game.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Events</b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>March 22nd - 26th: AdeptiCon</i></div><div><i>August 30th - September 3rd: NOVA Open ?</i></div><div><i>October 6th - 8th: Michigan GT ?</i></div><div><i>October xx- xx: Second Wind ?</i></div><div><i>November 3rd - 5th: Warfaire Weekend?</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Events are what I look forward to in the year, and we actually had a really busy year (especially in the Fall). We managed Adepticon in March, Atlantic City Open in June (not on above list), Michigan GT in October, Second Wind 5 in October and Warfaire Weekend in November (not on above list). We also attended some one day events of MCP in Chicago, Lansing, Kalamazoo and even a trip to Ontario Canada. Next year a new event will be on the list, but stayed tuned tomorrow for that one.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Come back tomorrow to see What's in store for 2024, I have a feeling it will be a very short list.</div>Dean Vuckovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06510946576715236259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253451061149609759.post-30954321114905985452023-11-16T08:28:00.000-05:002023-11-16T08:28:20.285-05:00MCP: Ultron, Metal Tyrant (Ultron) and Ultron Drones<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUax0MY6MyEc0FkmIp8fW403XpTl4YDR6hivCSixwYqnNzE3boEpxBV_JGQV4c7yLqxT05_aM-cdFCCG8AgB-Lah_lpr3wZtiFMDjv4iNv1Ziu7pnvHaPnjyqnJ2xhfMWwsVKvYPSagFZe-sHIPQjihGmBnfXy0Qx7Wh0w3y3Ba4lOK_oVjQcdqF9A=s1465" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1327" data-original-width="1465" height="auto" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUax0MY6MyEc0FkmIp8fW403XpTl4YDR6hivCSixwYqnNzE3boEpxBV_JGQV4c7yLqxT05_aM-cdFCCG8AgB-Lah_lpr3wZtiFMDjv4iNv1Ziu7pnvHaPnjyqnJ2xhfMWwsVKvYPSagFZe-sHIPQjihGmBnfXy0Qx7Wh0w3y3Ba4lOK_oVjQcdqF9A=w200-h181" width="100" /></a></div>I finally got around to assembling and painting a model from the new Marvel Crisis Protocol (Earth's Mightiest Heroes) core set, and elected to go with 'Ultron, Metal Tyrant' and his 'Ultron Drones'.<div><br /></div><div>I elected to go with this model so I could have an updated Age of Ultron list that I play with my Avengers, but for the time being, Avengers are going to take a back seat.

I managed to play 8 games over 3 days, and had time to do some vendor hall shopping and meet up with some old friends, for me that is what AdeptiCon is about.</p><p>We played Marvel Crisis Protocol all weekend (Thursday/Friday/Saturday) and the nice thing about MCP events is, if you are no longer in the running, you can easily drop out of the event to go and do other things at the convention, and that is what I did. I am not a competitive player as I go for the comraderie.</p><p>Thursday started with the Affiliations tournament and I played one of the smallest affiliations with my "Winter Guard". I ended up going 0-3, but they were all fun games. There were still 2 more games left in the event, but we went to start our shopping and get some dinner.</p><p>Friday was the 2v2 Team tournament, and game #1 they put us on table #1 streaming to all the viewers. It was a tight close battle, but we lost by 1 point, 10-11. Games #2 was better for us and we managed a win in the event. Game #3 was another tight battle and lost by 1 point again, but it was really fun, all 3 games we had great time and left after going 1-2. It was going to be a long night as there were still 2 more games, so we headed out to complete some final shopping and dinner.</p><p>Saturday was Championship day and one last hoorah for my "Age of Ultron" roster. Game #1 did not start off to good for me, my opponent was nice, but you can tell right away these guys were serious for this event. The super fast play and not much chit chat was not that enjoyable. Game #2 was much better as I had a great opponent and we had a good time. I had the early lead in this game, but then fell apart and got another loss, going 0-2. Only the Top 8 were advancing to Sunday, and you needed a 4-0 record to advance. So with 2 loses, it was my final day for last minute shopping.</p><p>After my son was done (who played all 4 games), we headed out to Buona Beef for dinner and then went back to the hotel and packed our bags and headed back home.</p><p>The one good thing about this years shopping was, I managed to control myself and kept my purchases to the essentials and did not walk away with a new game (like I usually do), but it was tempting.</p><p>Here is a photo dump from the weekend.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
