#Batalladores2025 was also the first public appearance of my new game “Catch-18 / The Battle of the Brenner”(albeit with my poor playtesting graphics). I was able to run two games on two different days with people playing and also watching.

Okay, here is round two for a new Historical Problem Space diagram for analysis and design. Thanks for any and all constructive feedback!

Première partie de la Der des Ders hier, jeu de grande stratégie sur la Première Guerre mondiale. Les Puissances centrales, affaiblie par la capitulation austro-hongroise, s’effondrent à cause de la grippe espagnole. Jeu court et bien sympa !

#Brest1811 Reconstruction 3d de la batterie Royale et du quai aux victuailles toujours en cours en utilisant une technique mixte. Rendu pour l'étude.

The Creality Halot-X1 is an interesting beast, for sure. I wasn't sure about the 'no leveling' claim with such a weird build plate, but it was absolutely true... and that odd design lets you twist the rectangular panels back and forth to work off prints without getting out a scraper. Pretty funky!

Last night I returned to the city of Mordheim with my Marienburgers, this time to face the Possessed. My pirates pulled off another victory, but lost two of their number permanently to injuries. Afterwards I let my Ogre mercenary go as he was eating all my food but not actually achieving very much.

Levy & Campaign PLANTAGENET new printing just out for preorder. Congrats @fgradaille.bsky.social and developer Christophe! www.gmtgames.com/p-1202-plant...

New (old) addition to the collection. The box is a bit tatty, but the inside is great, and it's unplayed. #nerdlings #boardwargaming #boardgames #tabletopgames

Can confirm. I’ve tried this and it really works! Highly recommended.

A weekend arrival in Enfield. Time to get back to painting Dutchmen and Scots in the service of the United Provinces… #histbookchat

Funnily enough, we were no less than four French designers in attendance, with such luminaries as Walter Vejdovsky, Philippe Hardy and Philippe Thibault, which was the opportunity for great conversations and sharing of ideas!

Back home tired but delighted after a wonderful 4-days trip to Zaragoza to attend the top notch Batalladores 2025 convention masterfully organized by @clubbatallador.bsky.social So impressed, and not a little jealous, by the super dynamic ConSim community in Spain.

I almost forgot: it’s that time of year again when @1805Club sends out both the Kedge Anchor and this year’s copy of the Trafalgar Chronicle! 🌊 📚 #histbookchat

Here's a quick look at some of the new bits n pieces used alongside some of the existing 'Dwarven' terrain (there's also a 2nd pic of the new textures) I hope to film the tutorial next week… but until then, feel free to check out the rest of the range: www.youtube.com/@CrookedStaf... #dnd #ttrpg

"Work" continues at the shipyards.

Minnesota representing! 24 People today at Gary's Combat Commander Learn & Play event. Had a great time meeting new people and made great strides learning how to play. Thanks for organizing! #boardwargames #boardgames @gmtgames.bsky.social

Interesting little piece on National Archives MH106 records. #ww1 #genealogy www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/explore-the-...

MREs in Batalladores2025 certainly have a different taste 😎

#OTD in 1941 the proverbial hit the fan when Eighth Army gave the order ‘pop’ to Tobruk Fortress, meaning they should break out to the southeast through the siege lines. All hell broke loose as the attack ran smack into the combined German-Italian force ready to attack Tobruk two days later.

Getting ready to launch into the weekend! #PhantomFriday

A little blast from the past here with this gorgeous cottage in the Cotswolds. Such a beautiful subject with lots of nice little details. If you’ve got a house you’d like recreating in miniature, drop me a line Examples of my previous work on my website lnrmodels.co.uk

Future historians might want to reconstruct when NATO ceased to exist IN ITS TRANSATLANTIC FORM. Here’s a hint. Look at this passage of the Ukraine „peace plan“. The US will act as a „mediator“ between NATO and Russia. As if they were no longer the lead nation.
