I’ve got a new wargaming project in mind for this year, taking me back to WW2, a period I haven’t revisited since my teens. More info to come about the army I’ll collect, but the above pic gives a clue …

public via Roly on Inoreader- Ongoing Austrian preparations for war June 22, 2017A quick photo of the latest output from the Napoleonic Austrian recruitment and refurbishment activities of von Peter himself. This most unusual rash of productivity is in preparation for the upcoming multiplayer battle with those dastardly French. Click on the image for a larger and clearer view. Front and centre is a new 12 pounder battery. Something for t […]von Peter himself
- An Ensemble Cast June 21, 2017Audrey: I don't believe it.Audrey II: Believe it, baby. It talks.Audrey: Am I dreaming this?Audrey II: No, and you ain't in Kansas, neither.Throughout the build it has been important to keep an idea of scale and whilst I accept that there is a little leeway when it comes to an accurate portrayal of an intergalactic carnivorous plant, hell bent on w […]Michael Awdry
- "One Hour Wargames" - Scenario 12 - "An Unfortunate Oversight" - Game June 20, 2017At last a few moments to put finger to keyboard and document what has to be one of the closest games that DG have yet had with the scenario's from the One Hour Wargames book - it really did go all the way to the very wire.... So as per the last post, setup was entirely random using the Force composition will be random using the table which was based ori […]Steve-the-Wargamer
- Zulu attack June 17, 2017Recently we had a game of TMWWBK using our Zulu wars figures. This was just a trial game for the Southern Strategists game that was played just a few days later.Zulus attacking the British, much like Rorke's Drift. For the real game take the link hereRodger
- "One Hour Wargames" - Scenario 12 - "An Unfortunate Oversight" - Setup June 16, 2017DG is down this weekend for a visit with his Gand-spuds, and as his way it would be churlish for him not to suggest a game, and likewise it would be churlish of me not to bite his arm off.. The visit is apposite as I've been thinking it's about time we played the John Corrigan Memorial game for the year, so for this visit we'll give the venera […]Steve-the-Wargamer
- Parissienne Walkways, Museums and Terrorists June 15, 2017Dianne and I recently had a few days in Paris. The hotel we stayed in was right by Notre Dame, just across the petit pont. Beautiful.Below: the view from our bedroom window across to Notre Dame.Main items on the agenda for this visit were The Louvre and The Musee d'Armee.I will let the pictures speak for themselves, so here is just a small selection of […]Phil
- An Amuse-bouche. June 15, 2017Seymour: It's true! I chopped him up. But I didn't kill him!I used to worry about my inability to focus, but more recently I have decided to embrace it, to see where it takes me. More often than not these flights of fancy lead to dead ends, but occasionally one takes hold and really lifts off. So it was with this project as when I was assembling […]Michael Awdry
- Horse and musket bits #2 June 14, 2017As per the immediately prior post von Peter himself presents a few public service announcements for The dear readers betterment. And once again those announcements by themselves would be but a meagre offering. Therefore as padding von Peter himself has repeated his raid on the photographic archives to present two more images – albeit of the same scene – from […]von Peter himself
- Capture the women. June 13, 2017Recently we played a game set in the Dark ages.Rival claimants to the local throne met in battle with their followers beside them. The battle, to a large degree, ended when one of the claimants was killed. However this was not the end. What was really needed now was the dead claimants daughter. Capture her and marry her off to one of your sons, that would re […]Rodger
- Return of the Queen June 11, 2017Picking up the Pils-Holstein story...... the last we heard of Teresa (Tessa) Pepisa, aka Tipsy Pipsy, she had returned to Astrovia at the ailing Emperor's request. Turned out she was not the daughter of an Italian merchant/ financier at all, but none other than that of the Emperor! And now, she was set to inherit the title of Empress of all Astrovia.Hav […]Phil
