New AAR on the “what if” 1982 Battle for Warsaw. #wargaming #wargames #shedowar #6mm 1982 Cold War Battle for Warsaw: Soviet 20th Guards Division vs Free Polish Mechanised Division. youtu.be/MOVPuqMqdJI

ACW Rules Update The website design is complete & will go live before the end of July with pre-orders opening. Final editing of the rulebook starts next week, and I’m recording a series of “How To” videos for both the website & YouTube. Not long to go now! www.facebook.com/share/g/1MxS...

I’ve spent the last year designing the first 2D CQB Terrain pack, turning the tiles from an initial concept into something I’m happy to put on my own tabletop. I’ve been incredibly lucky to work through that process with Joe Bilton from Heroic Maps and the talented folks over at Deep-Cut Studio.

ACW rules update! The QRS is now finished, & I have just three chapters left to complete the final proofing of the rulebook. The finish line is finally in sight. #shedowar #ACW #Wargaming #AmericanCivilWar #MiniatureWargaming

1982 - Warsaw Pact invasion of Poland. After advice from my gaming buddy in Denmark, the road system for the rematch has changed. @IAFuller is also updating the OOB. So we refight next Thursday! #shedowar #wargaming #wargames #6mm

Update from the 3mm FFT in Poland 1982. Soviet intervention force clashes with the Polish National Division defending Warsaw. 1st wave Soviet forces are trying to clear the first line of defenders but struggling with constraining orders on use of artillery #shedowar #wargaming #wargames #6mm

Clearing up in the Shed O War and looked through some boxes of 6mm. These are German & Allied forces for Crete 1941. These must be 35 years old! Must get these out on table soon. #shedowar #WW2Wargaming #HistoricalWargaming #6mm #MiniatureWargaming #MicroArmour #TabletopGaming

Weekly Update on my upcoming rules. www.facebook.com/share/p/14pN... #AmericanCivilWar #Wargaming #MiniatureWargaming #TabletopGaming #ACW #WargameRules

First test bases! KRRC Motor Company (3 Motor Platoons + Scout Carrier Platoon), Battalion HQ and then a Squadron of Crusaders. Yes. That is a tank commander out of the hatch. In 6mm. I'm very normal.

For the past few years I’ve been working on a project: a new set of American Civil War miniature wargame rules.After many games, hours of research & plenty of rewriting, the finish line is finally coming into view. #ACW #Miniatures #Wargaming #HistoricalGaming #TabletopGaming #shedowar

Starship Troopers game this afternoon in the Sauna of War. A platoon of Mobile Infantry are racing across towards the research station, but already Arachnid swarms are emerging from the bug holes…. Do you want to know more? #6mm #wargames #wargaming #shedowar

Starship Troopers game tonight. Trying out Jonathan Ellison rules using 6mm figures and terrain. Photos of the setup, the last two being enhanced photos using AI. Added a lovely Martian style sky! Do you want to know more? #6mm #wargames #wargaming #shedowar

Shed O War wargame report from this weekend. A great days gaming with @iainf.bsky.social @badsocialism.bsky.social @flankmarch.bsky.social , Warren and Phil. #shedowar #acwrules #wargames #wargaming Battle of Fayetteville - Jackson in the Valley Campaign. youtu.be/D0XAXnbaERM

ACW campaign and the first battle in my Jackson in the Valley campaign. General Jackson & General Shields clash near Opal, on the road from Manassas Gap. Already shaping up into a humdinger of a game! My own rules & only a couple of clarifications so far. #wargames #shedowar #ACW

6mm WW1 Russian cavalry including cossacks. Some of the units have RCW flag bases, or the flag can be added. More cavalry in a box upstairs. Pretty well done with my 6mm forces now. Time for a game. #shedowar #wargaming #wargames #6mm

Rigging has tested my resolve! A Rigging Blues. Thanks @desmondo.bsky.social for the inspiration and Bob Dylan for the tune. Will try again tomorrow.

While in Leipzig we went to one of the local museums. This “wargame” caught my eye. #wargames #wargaming #shedowar

Wonderful day in Leipzig. Still cannot believe we have won a European Trophy. Not sunk In yet. Got today to celebrate, and then home Friday. #cpfc #shedowar #wargames

Snorkers (Good Oh!) fans now is your chance to vote for the rules in this tongue-in -cheek “World Cup of rules”. Only vote for the rules if you genuinely think they are as good as I think they are 😂😂😂😂 #snorkersgoodoh #shedowar #wargaming www.facebook.com/share/p/1BLA...

Voting is underway in the Yarkshire Gamers World Cup of Historical Wargames Rules, Top 16 progress to Round 1. Links below Group 1 A to J www.facebook.com/share/p/1DCb... Group K to Z www.facebook.com/share/p/1BLA... #Wargames #wargaming #hobby #history

The drop is for Tuesday, but fog is forecast. The problem is we dont have enough transports to get us there in one go…. I am Surprised no one told Glasner before he won the semi final……. #cpfc

Today is going to be gorgeous so no painting figures. Rather reading and then playing a solo RPG, all while sitting in the sun. Alcoholic beverages of various types will also be consumed as the temperature rises….. #shedowar #wargaming #wargames

Off this evening to see a screening of “The Tales of Zatoichi”, a 1962 Classic Japanese film. My wingman is @roundwoodsworld.bsky.social Looking forward to this. #shedowar

1/4 Continued my solo game of Snorkers this evening after clearing up the WW1 6mm game. Love these rules, never give a boring game. Tonight the Allies gave the IJN something to think about, but some cost. #snorkersgoodoh #shedowar #wargames #wargaming

Full on battle 1914 Eastern Front with raw Russian Division running headling into a German defensive line. No subtle tactics with the boys from Saratov! bayonets! @badsocialism.bsky.social rules. 6mm Turner miniature figures #wargaming #shedowar #wargames #WW1

New Release! Happy to celebrate my Snorkers(Good Oh!) scenario book is available and already winging its way to those who preordered! #snorkersgoodoh #wargames #wargaming #navalgaming #shedowar New Release! A Rising Sun over Java. Wargaming WW2 youtu.be/vGUJI27AMKI

This arrived yesterday. Spent a few hours dipping in and out. Some beautiful stuff in this collection. #shedowar #wargames #wargaming #ACW

Fantastic breakout session on the Burma campaign at the WW2 History Conference in London. Charlotte Carty and Jack Bowsher hosted a one hour discussion with a small group of us. Great engagement from all involved and wish it had gone on longer. #shedowar #wargames #wargaming

Second World War History Conference. Looking forward to this!! Fantastic setting in the Scottish Regiment Museum in Westminster #shedowar #wargames #wargaming

Latest game video from my Shed O War. #wargames #wargaming #acw #shedowar Heth’s Attack & the Battle of Gettysburg. Wargaming the American Civil War youtu.be/l5W0-ZRjvOs

@desmondo.bsky.social has delightfully organised a "Jackson in the Valley" campaign for some of us at the South London Warlords - which I will document with some limits (for there are Confederate spies everywhere) on here!

Well, my first really big ACW battle, Gettysburgs Day 1 Heth's attack at @desmondo.bsky.social Shed o War I As one of the union players, got absolutely mullered by confederate artillery in the ridge but held it long enough to secure a union victory by game end. Played using Des's rules.

Real fans in the Home end, Real fans in the Home end…… #cpfc

Oh my…..1-3 to CPFC! #cpfc

So where are we all meeting tonight before the game? #cpfc

Start the day in the right way. Breakfast in Krakow with #cpfc on tour

Cheers all from Krakow Old Town #shedowar

In Krakow, via Warsaw, train plane but no automobile. Here for the football, supporting Crystal Palace FC. Game tomorrow. Tonight going for a nice dinner and drinks. #shedowar

A new Cold War Kickstarter means it's time for a new Wargaming Guide. This time it's a lot longer than any of my previous ones - around 25 pages - partly because I got a bit carried away but there was also just so much to cover.

ACW play test. Short video on the state of play at the end of the game. #shedowar #wargames #wargaming #acw Gettysburg Full Time Report. Wargaming the American Civil War youtu.be/jFB9hP7jn3U

It's nearly the weekend! BRUDERKRIEG 1 has been live for 7 days and it's already 100% funded with every single one of its Stretch Goals unlocked. If you've been on the fence there's now no reason not to jump in and become a backer.

Warlock!! No idea what I am doing but managed to win one round and then get banished to “limbo” in the next! Innocent fun at the end of a long day doing not alot (which included a rule learning session in the pub)!! #shedowar #wargaming #wargames #badmooncafe
