More #SpaceEngineers. I continue to randomly choose spawn locations with a dice roll. This time it’s the moon. I see a lot of Algae farming in my future.

Beth is back from a work trip to Timor-Leste with #Coffee! Time to recite the mantra. “It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.”

A movie you’ve seen more than 7 times with a gif

We used to have proper movies... and we still do... sometimes…

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only…

#StriderTheFoxHound jumping in my grave this morning because it’s too cold.

#Bastards! Just arrived in the post from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social.

Beth is home from Montpellier, France and she brought a very cool souvenir.

After receiving a box of #SpaceWolves for Father’s Day I picked up a codex & a couple of bits and pieces from the local shop. This inspired my eldest to gift me all the #SpaceMarine miniatures from his Nemesis & Indomitus starter sets. He only wanted the Xenos. #Wargames #Wargaming #WarGamers

It’s #FathersDay in Tasmania and it feels like Christmas. I would have been happy with a card, but who am I to complain? 😇 My oldest also answered the question of what ‘modern’ space marine army would I have? #SpaceWolves! My Son-in-Law who favours #ThousandsSons has declared me his mortal enemy.

Another successful foray into a bookshop, this time a second hand one. My son in law commented on how impressed he was my apparent ability to walk into a random bookshop and walkout with something hobby related. #Books #WarGaming #WarGamers #WarGames

Another successful foray into a bookshop, while out with on a Grandparent supply run with Beth this afternoon. I found it in the ‘Pop Culture’ section. 🤔 #WarGames #WarGamers #WarGaming #SoloWarGaming

Arrived in the post , something I have meant to get a copy of for ages. But of course I’m not there, so my 2 adult sons have dutifully agreed to read it on my behalf (probably won’t though, no where to plug in the usb cable).

What GIF pops up when you type your name?

Today is the birthday of René Goscinny (Aug. 14, 1926-Nov. 5, 1977), writer, editor, and cocreator of Astérix.

Stuck my head in a random book shop while out grocery shopping this afternoon and found this book. The 3 battles are Friedland, Aspern-Essling & of course Waterloo. Apparently it’s a reprint of a book first published in 1944(?), can’t hurt to have a read. #Napoleonic #WarGames #WarGamers #Wargaming

Logging on.

Drop an old person that you're going to turn into in the future.

My Calendar tells me it’s #InternationalNavalWarGamesDay and we’re still in Canberra learning to be Grandparents. So it’s on to the laptop for a game of #SeaPower. Here’s a screenshot where 2 ASMs are about to ruin USS Yorktown’s day. #NavalWarGaming #WarGames #WarGaming #WarGamers.

Starting to help paint Harry’s (the son-in-law) #ASongOfIceAndFire #Lannister army. Beth thought it would be a great idea to ‘show support’ & get him more miniatures & we should each get an army, #NightsWatch for her & #Stark for me. We’ll leave them in Canberra. #WarGames #WarGaming #WarGamers

Granddad mode ENGAGED!

Picked up a copy of Undaunted. Battle of Britain. #BoardGames

No cheating. Post your Lock Screen.

Arrived in the post today. A portable workstation to keep things tidy while I’m painting my son in law’s miniatures while we’re here in Canberra. Of course he gets it once we head home.

Friday night #BoardGame of Oceans with the daughter & son-in-law.

Started a new ‘Solar System’ game of #SpaceEngineers. I rolled a D10 to determine which starting position I would use and ended up on the ‘Mars Planet’. I’m in the process of building a ‘Mars Rover’, a mobile base. I’ll use it to trundle across the surface looking for resources.

Shamelessly stolen from the book of face....

I picked up some reading material while running errands yesterday afternoon.

Arrived in the post from before we left for Canberra. Landsknechts and a Jagdtiger (everyone should have at least one). #WarGamers #WarGames #WarGaming

After a shakedown cruise and dealing with the resulting repairs & further tinkering I’m taking the Space Cruiser Ajax on a proper jaunt out to the ‘Alien Planet’ for a look see. #SpaceEngineers

Beth, @tasfully.bsky.social & I will spending August in Canberra with our daughter & son in law. We’re going to help with his #MiniaturePainting backlog, I’m putting together a travel kit & I got this A5 cutting board from the local model shop that fits nicely in the pocket of the case I’m using.

#Coffee! Time to recite the mantra. “It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.”

A box of plastic crack! I need another project like I need a hole in my head, but the end of financial year discount at War & Peace Games was too much to resist. Especially since there’s now a #Midgard early Italian Wars list. #SpreadTheLard

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel. Extra hard mode, no Ghibli or Ghost in the Shell.

Tonight we are playing the Monty Python and the Holy Grail #BoardGame.

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

My notes on what has changed in Chain of Command v2. Hopefully useful for players of v1 making the transition. It's not a review, just a list of changes to help remind me of what is new/different, but I thought I might as well share it. #spreadthelard thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2025/06/what...

What it's like hanging out with me.

Finally sat down to rewatch an old favourite, Callan (1974). I think I first saw this film at the ‘Range Drive-in’ (Townsville, QLD) a very long time ago.

Turns up everywhere these days …
