Firelock Games

By Glenn Van Meter

I’ve been avidly playing Firelock’s Blood & Plunder for over a year now, and in that time I have constantly been on the lookout for more and better terrain options, especially as I intend to host some tournaments once COVID-19 risks are a bit more relaxed.

To that end, I have purchased terrain from Firelock’s own range, made some cardboard Spanish-style houses, purchased a few 3D printed options, and even bought a couple of Laketown sets from Games Workshop in the hopes of using the docks and older (albeit slightly fantasy) style houses in the future. So when Firelock Games announced a partnership with 4Ground to produce the “Ports of Plunder” range, I ordered a variety of kits to try out, including several of their dock pieces.

It’s peak season for leaf peepers here in New England. Cold temperatures usually accompany autumn in the North East, but this year has seen some really warm weather. I took the opportunity to play some demo games with my friend Tim outside.

Tim and the other gamers from in Catskill NY play a pretty diverse array of games. Blood and Plunder isn’t officially carried by the store, so I’ve been painting commissions for folks to get them started. I am painting a Pirate force for Tim, and he wanted a refresher on the rules before he dived into the kickstarter.

My Dad and I have also been selling hotdogs out of our roadside stand in Hudson NY as a way for him to kill some of his free time. (as a limo driver doing mostly airport work, he hasn’t had a lot of trips lately). So I packed my car full of Tables and Terrain, along with a bunch of my models, and headed for Hudson, NY.

In response to fellow Tales of the Sail caster , I demand law and order, unwavering discipline and bravery. Hence, I present the British Army.

Raise the Black focuses on this “law and order” era of the New World. In the 18th century, European powers sent their professional armies to defend the wealth of their colonies. Our sneak preview included the British Army (from 1690, to 1750) that I will be sharing with you today.

As the Halloween season rapidly approaches, there is piracy in the air. Firelock’s opens up on October 6th. And from the looks of things, my wallet is going to have a problem. what Mike Tuñez spilled the beans on back in July during

As summer has turned to fall, we have some more leaked details. As sculpts have been adjusted, and points have been tweaked, we are getting a fuller picture of what we have in store when the clock strikes midnight this October 6th.

I will do my best to give a general overview of all this, and we here at No Dice No Glory will follow that up with some exercises in list building. Tyler Stone, Glenn Van Meter and myself will embark on this journey under the black flag together.

Maybe the pandemic was a good thing for some of us gamers. We got a chance to read new rules to possibly play new games once in-person gaming resumes. Many of us also caught up on painting, something we never thought we would do.

One of the games that many people have been looking at since its late December 2019 release was Blood and Valor, a game we have covered here quite a bit. Coming from the crew at , Blood and Valor gives gamers a chance to play the war at the 28mm skirmish level that covers the war beyond the trenches. Well before the game’s release, the crew from stepped forward to produce starter kits for some of the major forces that fought in France during 1916-1918.

These affordable MDF kits are the result of a collaboration with , and have all of the quality the community has come to expect from 4Ground’s scenery.
