I.N.W.D. 2017 Sails and Powder Playtest

As promised, a very enjoyable if rather unrealistic and overly simplified Napoleonic naval game, using Sails and Powder for International Naval Wargaming Day 2017: https://teaandawad.blogspot.fr/2017/08/international-naval-wargaming-day-sails.html Anyone know of a more realistic but still fast play, ‚beer and pretzels‘ set of rules for this sort of thing?

Fantastic beasts and how to draw them – Hand-drawn fantasy maps step-by-step

I always thought the most intriguing aspect of historical maps such as the Carta Marina are the fantastic beasts and odd creatures depicted on them: Humanoid figures without heads, sea serpents swallowing ships whole and dragons terrorising villages. Many of these depictions are based on Roman and Greek myth or on tall stories told by…

I thought I would clear a couple of items which have been hanging around since March and Hammerhead, the first items which need to be…

A Fistful of Plastic

The sprog asked if he could have a game of A Fistful of Lead: Reloaded AKA ‚the cowboy game‘ today. We are on holiday at the moment so I don’t have access to my 28mm figures or terrain but I do have a copy of the rules on the laptop, so all that we need…

A Firefly in the Expanse

We used to play it a lot as a group; Star Fleet Battles, Dirtside, Star Grunt, Epic 40K, Full Thrust. But it went rather sour for me. A combination of factors came into play.
