Prodos Games and Warzone Resurrection are heading to the Las Vegas Open in February. The Las Vegas Open (LVO) will be held at the Flamingo hotel on Feb 20 through the 23^rd.

There will be a Warzone Resurrection 3 round tournament starting with the 1^st round on Friday evening; the remaining two rounds will be on Saturday. This will be the first Prodos Games run tournament in the US. So far we are half booked for the event with a solid 8 players with room for another 8.

There are 3 custom LVO missions, which have been turned into oversized cards (including special objective placement rules) for the event that every participant will receive a set of to take home with them. 

Undead Legionnaire added to show the size of the cards

The players have even created a commemorative logo and shirt for the event!

Here is the mock up for the shirt!

They also sent me two of these cool dice pouches to give away at the event, these dedicated Warzone Resurrection players want to show the community how they support their game and do it in style!

Prodos Games will be presenting 3 Razide Diorama trophies for the first, second and third place participants. Who will win the Coveted Golden Razide!?! Only the dice gods know! 

You can purchase your event pass here: WZR Tourney you must also purchase an LVO con badge as well.

There will also be Warzone Resurrection demos run Friday before the tournament and all day on Sunday.

Happy New Year and the road ahead!

I want to wish all my friends and followers the most prosperous New Years possible! It has been a long road and I appreciate all the support you guys have given me over the years!



So the question is what is on the road ahead here on Galaxy in Flames? Well expect a lot of Warzone Resurrection in 2015, because I absolutely love the game and universe. Obviously there will be a smattering of other game systems posted about as well, since y'all know I play many games!


Bringing Mike aboard to help with content and should give you plenty to look at as you discover Warzone for yourself or just enjoy pictures of great mins and terrain!


Then there will be lots of promoting of the League of Extraordinary Gamers Blog WZR narrative Campaign, this was a had fought victory in the voting for which system they would cover as their 2015 campaign.

I am painting again and am working on a squad of Nasca Razides for WZR, pics soon!

Until next time, keep your powder dry and lead flying!

Welcome Mike to the Blog as a Content Contributor

I’d like to welcome my good friend Mike aboard, as a new content contributor to Galaxy in Flames.

He originally played Warzone back in the 90's when the first editions were out and new, that eventually brought him to play other games as will happen. However the release of Warzone Resurrection has reignited a passion for gaming that had been dulled in him for quite some time.

I am going to let Mike introduce himself in his own words:

“Well hello out there, thanks Jim for asking me to contribute to your blog.

Well I’ve been demoing for Prodos Games as a Crusader now for about five months, in that time I appear to have become possessed, I have produced a ton of scenery to add to the demos we have been running, a jungle based table to represent Venus, including habitation, disused landing pads, containers and lots of scatter pieces.

Warzone Resurrection benefits from a mass of terrain, bring an element of realism to the environments the forces fight over, long gone are the open field for combat that the medieval to American civil war. These fights take place up close and personal.

Cheers, Mike”

As you might have guessed he is a keen terrain builder as well and will be sharing plenty of awesome hobby content with us here. He is currently working on a war torn cityscape for Warzone Resurrection.

He currently plays Capitol, Cybertronic and Mishima as his factions for Warzone Resurrection. He has quite a sizable Capitol force!

Everyone please give Mike a warm welcome!

Until next time keep your powder dry and lead flying!

Warzone Resurrection the basics

I have had a few people ask me to give a very basic rundown of Warzone Resurrection when it comes to table size, model count, game play and cost. So here is the quick rundown.

Warzone Resurrection is typically played on a 4x4 table but has rules to expand it to a 6x4 for large games. Armies can contain as few as 12 models up to 30 models, it seems that 1k points is becoming the standard game level, but some people are pushing that lately up to 1250pts which I personally think is the sweet spot for WZR.

The rules and army lists are available for free on the website, so you do not have to rush out and buy them right away unless you are dieing to know the fluff right out of the gate. So you can literally start playing for around 75 USD that will get you a faction starter and a set of Warzone templates.

Warzone uses a unique resource mechanic to be able to activate special skills or give models extra actions. It really causes you to think about their expenditure. There is also an advanced version of the game that introduces a card deck that each player can build. This allows for new tactics and strategies; adding special Wargear to units, or special skills or the ability to effect the whole battle field with things like a Solar Eclipse that shortens all LOS or an Earth Quake that effects all movement and many more table wide effects.

The game uses an alternating activation system; so you activate a unit do the models actions then you opponent does the same until all units have been activated. The game is D20 based so you have a wider variety to work with for skill numbers.   

Bottom line is Warzone Resurrection is inexpensive to jump into compared to many other major games and has some really dynamic game play that will keep you interested. 

Until next time keep your powder dry and lead flying!

What I have been up to

I have been working my new job with Prodos Games for a few months now and have been busy as heck. Prodos Games are the people who brought back Warzone and late this fall Aliens verses Predator the boardgame and wargame. It is like a dream come true to work for a company that is making two sci-fi settings that I adore as miniatures games.

I am their US Marketing and Sales Manager, things are finally starting to roll and the first five shops should have product shortly. I am working on many others as I type this. Additionally I get to help write rules and do the groovy behind the scenes stuff as well!

So as you can imagine my gaming and hobby time is filled with Warzone Resurrection. This past weekend I attended the Bay Area Open and ran Warzone demos all weekend, it was a total blast! I even made a few new shop contacts for stocking Warzone, so this was a bonus to a great two days of demoing. Here are a few pics from the weekend:

Now on to things 40k, I still love the 40k universe and will still be playing on occasion but as you can imagine the new job will keep me busy. 40k Killzone is dead until I have the time to write a make your own army list out of the codex set of stipulations, cause I just cannot make updates for every single codex.

30k Killzone will get an update and official PDF by October, I still need to order the latest HH book from Forgeworld. I can reasonably update it with only one book arriving every year. 

Finally I am going to try to post once a week from this point forward, more if I can.

Until next time keep your powder dry and lead flying!
