Bases finished. I go to conventions so the bases keep the models from banging into each other. Waiting on crew from AB Miniatures. #FestiveTankChallange2025

#FestiveTankChallange2025 Declaring these done, just Dullcoat, Decals and crew I ordered from AB Miniatures.

More progress in particular on the stowage. #FestiveTankChallenge2025

Solid progress until my carpal tunnel got the best of me. Wash with Agrax, then dry brush with Vallejo Russian uniform and then a lightened Russian uniform. The kangaroos will be painted white. #Festivetankchallenge2025

If you don’t have one of these, buy one for yourself for Christmas, it’s well worth it. Anyone else agree?

Last night we played a game of Armati 2, Gauls vs Germans. The Germans are very tough and would give the Romans a run for their money.

There has been a rush on tickets this weekend and there are only a few left - so if you are planning to come to Winter Wonder Lard VI and have not bought your ticket yet don't delay to avoid disappointment... #SpreadTheLard

Our group The White Rock Gamers put on 3 games from the RFR scenario Operation Market Garden book scenarios #1, XXX Corps Breakout, Scenario 2, Attack of Panzer Brigade 107, and scenario 5 Charge of the Paras. I didn’t get many photos of the other games as I ran scenario #2. All three games ended

Oct 29th 1943 the Battle Of Nevel outside Velikiye Luki my wife's grandfather was killed. My wife's mother is the little girl on the left. He was drafted as a cook as he worked at the Maggi factory in Cologne. He obviously transferred to a line company later.

Game on Thursday Control to Catastrophe Caesar. War of the Roses. My continent Clifford the Butcher was on the left flank of the Lancastrians. Red and white figures. My opponent managed to get numerous hits from 2 turns of arrow storm, this would not be good when it came to melee.

Very glad, if knackered, to say that Vol 1 of Jocks, Dragons and Sospans, the new history of 53rd Welsh Division has been submitted to the publisher. Now to finish Vol 2. #WW2 #SWW #History

An ACW made up battle. Confederates attacking a Union position. We had all light rifled artillery the Rebs had smoothbores.

Why do wargamers worry about uniform colour?

Last nights game The Battle of Raab, 1809 from Michael Hopper’s scenario book using Shako 2 rules. I played Austrian on the left side of the table. The French cavalry I painted.

Game last night, battle of Morat 1476 Burgundians vs Swiss. Burgundians in the camp and Swiss boiling out of the woods. Burgundian light troops and guns defend the Grunhag earthworks while the camps troops get organized.

I finished 3 Battalions of Napoleonic Murawski Poles.

Thursday we played the battle of Toftek within the FFL standing in for the British. I played the Mahdists. My brigade got wiped out early, I took over another which had the same fate.

The myths about Ian Fleming’s World War II role—whether as the real James Bond or simply a faceless bureaucrat—are inaccurate. In truth, Fleming was closely involved in British intelligence as the personal assistant to Admiral John Godfrey, Director of Naval Intelligence.

Thursday evening we had a game of Italian Wars, rule set Control to Catastrophe. All the figures I contributed were from one of our group who passed away last November. We eventually prevailed.

On the weekend we had Ericon VIII 22 gamer outdoors. Two gaming sessions with 3 game each. Morning ACW 28mm Gettysburg Day 2 Sickles follows Meade’s orders a what if scenario. Cruel Seas, and Chain of Command. Afternoon, ACW, Sickles advances as per history, Bolt Action, Saracens and Normans.

Getting rid of some stuff I do not longer need - some 2mm stuff for the Roman Imperial era. Link in thread.

Cheers everyone!

This is awesome!

Game last night, Napoleonic Naval, Battle of Havana, British and Spanish. I played Spanish. Rule set “It’s Warm Work.” All ships owned and painted by Mark. British are in the centre of the table, downwind from the Spanish sailing away from them. The Spanish are at the table edge.

Game last Thursday to test a new set of rules being written by Chris Leach. Battle of Poe Field, during Chickamauga 1862. Confederate advance on a Union position. I knew this would be a Rebel slaughter but wanted to test the woods rule.

Ericon VII is off and running!

The most remarkable film shot on one of the most remarkable days in history. It captures the North Shore Regiment on JUNO Beach near St. Aubin-sur-Mer on D-Day. For me, the most touching moment comes at the end of the clip when a soldier pats his comrade on the shoulder to say, "it will be ok." 🧵1/4

From the Juno Beach Centre.

Cheers!

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

Game last Thursday from the Road to Carantan scenario book, Rapid Fire Reloaded. An all infantry game, so unusual. 4 platoons of US airborne 502 regiment attack Fallschirmjager regiment 6. A very bloody fight. U.S. troops moved up and got decimated. All the figures you see were wiped out. Only one

67 trips around the sun!!

On Thursday I put on a RFR game, the third scenario in the Canadians in Normandy Putot Counter Attack. Just FYI, as all I have are figures kitted out in winter gear and paint, these are what I used. The Germans are all hidden. The Canadians used the stone wall as cover for the Sherman’s which had
