Poor strategies should be studied as well as wise ones, for generals shall adopt the former more oft than the latter. Tuesday, October 6, 2015. Recon Patrol - Skirmish Sangin AAR. Finally. A proper Skirmish Sangin game! What sounds like a miracle did happen - earlier today I played my first proper Skirmish Sangin game. Did I have fun? OMG, this game is so cool, I wanna play it again! Start of the game. He thought he could peek in and shoot them. They shot him. Few turns followed when nothing happened, bo...

The British Civil Wars 1639-51. The Russian Civil War 1917-21. Thursday, 12 September 2013. Fight at St Johns Parva September 1643. Parliament by contrast fielded 1100 horse, mainly 'trotters' trained to caracole, and fewer infantry than their opponents but with twice as many shot as pike. The battle that followed was remarkable fo...

Peter Pig have released these as a pdf and I bought a set for the princely sum of GBP10.00. This copy of AK47 belongs to John, there are many like it but this one is his'.

Bobinantes Boreales: September 2014

http://bobinantesboreales.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

The Roaring Northerners are Dave Stewart, John Hill and Iain Robertson; a loose affiliation of tabletop wargamers and figure painters who inhabit the frozen and somewhat soggy wastelands of west central Scotland. Shadowy and secretive, they stoically quest to reduce the scale of the lead mountain that threatens to engulf them all, and perhaps even find the time for the occasional game. This is their story. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Tricked by Dave and John into buying. However, I'm now engaged in a bit...

The British Civil Wars 1639-51. The Russian Civil War 1917-21. Monday, 4 August 2014. Somewhere North of the Border. Chris and I had a game of DBR on Sunday. It was a 300 pointer on a 3 x 4 foot table - a bit of a practise for the forthcoming Harquebusiers and Hussars gathering that the indefatigable Keith McNelly organises. In the...

Poor strategies should be studied as well as wise ones, for generals shall adopt the former more oft than the latter. Friday, July 24, 2015. Trumpeter 1/72 UMSC LAV-R - build log Pt.1. After some time, that I spent on terrain pieces for Frostgrave, I needed some proper modelling - so I took out that USMC LAV-R I bought for Skirmish Sangin. The kit is pretty basic - I did not count the pieces, but I managed to put it all together in an hour or hour and a half. Can't remember I had so much fun with a kit.
