28mm Italian Wars Gendarmes and AHPC

This year, as in the previous two I am taking part in the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge, a Group of gamers and painters from across the world who get together, in a virtual sense, once a year. The idea is part competition, with points tables, side duels and part collective support of like minded…

This Jungle is Rubbery…

With the big jungle bits done, the bamboo complete, some native residencies finished and the low level jungle on the way, my thoughts turned to the next phase of the project, where I want to make some colonial buildings for… Dieser Artikel stammt von einer der angeschlossenen Quellen.

Party Like It’s 1756

This evening the local power company bestowed a power outage on Hesse Seewald.  So we made the best of it by lighting a fire in the fireplace for both warmth and light in the room. We also collected all of the candles and candle sticks in the house and lit them in parts of the…

Sails of Glory

I had a very enjoyable game of Sails of Glory at the club this evening, my first game of the year and my first at the club for months. The game was umpired by the ever generous Gary, who did an excellent job of explaining the rules before the French and British fleets sailed into…

Special Delivery Axis Adaptations

I set about re-jigging the Special Delivery scenario yesterday with the aim to increase the Italian fighter complement from six to nine aircraft in three sections of three planes each. This meant identifying named pilots of 73 Squadriglia for each of the aircraft. To do this I dipped into a new book that I didn’t…

Celtic Shields II

Here are the shields from the last post with the LBMS transfers applied- I love LBMS transfers! I’ve found I can apply around 20 an hour, whilst watching TV.
