Bullets,Bandages & Lard: Action Station!
http://bulletsbandagesandlard.blogspot.com/2015/06/action-station.html
Bullets,Bandages and Lard. Wednesday, 17 June 2015. Having started the latest pint-sized Chain of Command campaign "Old Hickory" against new oppo Ian (this time I get to play as Germans), I saw in one of the scenarios there is a train station. I've already got a lot of Normandy buildings for 15mm but don't have a station so I set out to add one to the collection. The kit arrived next morning from Wales and I set about putting it together. Next came a heavy drybrush of the walls. The windows with the ...

Bullets,Bandages & Lard: May 2015
http://bulletsbandagesandlard.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Bullets,Bandages and Lard. Monday, 4 May 2015. Jonny and the Diggers (part 2). View from the Anzac approach. There's about a 20"(50cm) rise from the near edge to the top of the slope. I already had a plan in mind of how I wanted the table to look. 6' x 6'. A long sloping rise, based on two foot square tiles with a cloth overlay. Gallipoli is surprisingly much more verdant than would first be assumed with plenty of vegetation (cotton bushes, long grasses and even pine trees! I'll be trying to make the dry...

Bullets,Bandages & Lard: October 2014
http://bulletsbandagesandlard.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Bullets,Bandages and Lard. Thursday, 16 October 2014. It's NOT all WW2 and not even all Lard (that's a technicality - more of which later). Savage and godless. Heading to a settlement near you soon? I was unsure at first on painting war paint. In the end I just dived in and was pleasantly surprised I didn't ruin the test batch of figures. I'd acquired some autumn leaves too. Here among the undergwothe". Using Foundry's triads and Citadel reds and yellows for their vividness, I managed to paint all 20 of ...

Bullets,Bandages & Lard: July 2014
http://bulletsbandagesandlard.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Bullets,Bandages and Lard. Monday, 21 July 2014. As I said last week's game may have been short on support points but it did give me the incentive to finish up a couple of loose end projects. The minefields and wire were in the last post but it also pushed me to finish my first platoon of panzergrenadiers along with enough extras to fill quite a few of their support options too. A full Panzergrenadier Platoon. Three sections plus command. Forward Observer and radio- again for either system. And finally s...

Bullets,Bandages & Lard: March 2015
http://bulletsbandagesandlard.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Bullets,Bandages and Lard. Monday, 30 March 2015. 2015 Sooo Many Anniversaries! Pleased with how it turned out, I hatched a plan to add two more. The model is a 15mm Lil' Flying Fokker available from http:/ www.oldgloryuk.com/wwii-allies/44/157/412/420. With decals from I-94 which I picked up from here http:/ www.minibits.net/BR-122-p672/. But have since found out are also available at Old Glory. However. (I'll try to keep this short). After a few highlights and some tufts I thought they were "keepers".

Bullets,Bandages & Lard: OML3 The Post 20th Century Games
http://bulletsbandagesandlard.blogspot.com/2015/06/oml3-post-20th-century-games.html
Bullets,Bandages and Lard. Friday, 12 June 2015. OML3 The Post 20th Century Games. Moving on to the games from the turn of the 20th century. First up is Stu Surridge's lovely Russo-Japanese War encounter based on the battle of Shaho 1904 using Through the Mud and Blood. Both morning and afternoon games were apparently bloody affairs and remarks were made about not wanting to be a leader as they nearly all died! Rob Avery stepped up like a hero at the last minute to put on an IABSM late WW2 Russian Front ...

Bullets,Bandages & Lard: December 2014
http://bulletsbandagesandlard.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Bullets,Bandages and Lard. Thursday, 4 December 2014. Barrages - A Mixed Month. So, it's been a busy few weeks. Jon's Churchills move off their start line in support if the attack. A Panzer IVH lies in wait. Immobilised, This tank crew bailed and went "into the bag". The Germans would be defending this key crossroads against an attack from the top of the picture. Phil's infantry deployed from a flanking Jump-Off Point in the cornfield on the right. While the Panther moved through the shattered village.
