Just a very quick peak at what I have been spending my hobby time on this weekend – the building on the left. More info to come soon when I have completed this little project. Sayonara for now!

public via Roly on Inoreader- Twenty Years of Battlegames June 17, 2018On 18thJune, 1998—Waterloo Day—I pressed the launch button on a site that was to dominate my life in one way or another for the next 20 years. I look back now at that first version of the site, which was designed to fit what was, by today’s standards, the microscopic screen size of 640 x 480 pixels, and reassure myself that, at the time, it was cutting-edge […]henryhyde
- Fire & Brimstone June 13, 2018Whilst struggling to get underway with 'Forgotten Heroes' this month, I have managed to complete a couple more additions to my Witchfinder world. Part of the ‘Warlord Games’ Fire and Brimstone set, these two looked like likely candidates in the war against evil. The puritan will be press ganged into service as a Witchfinder, which allowed me to i […]Michael Awdry
- Let's hear it for the band. June 9, 2018A quick post this morning to showcase the band members that formed part of the care package from Dave Stone of ‘Wargames Terrain Workshop’. As with the previous miniatures, I need to stress that these are created for Dave's own personal amusement and are not commercially available due to licensing restrictions. Dave has a hankering to create the many de […]Michael Awdry
- Turning the tables June 6, 2018We've had a wedding, a certain amount of professional change and all the drama that comes with that in the last month - so the War Room hasn't seen much use. I'm hoping to get a game in tomorrow with a bit of luck, but that remains to be seen. On the plus side, I got a new table in the War Room. The old one was in rag order and was quite un […]Conrad Kinch
- "One Hour Wargames" - Scenario 16 - "Advanced Guard" - Setup and Game June 6, 2018On the 74th anniversary of D-Day it seems somewhat apt to be posting a report on a series of games that DG and I fought last weekend, and which were set in WW2, albeit in the North Africa sphere..First time I'd seen DG since Warfare [clicky] so it was doubly excellent to get an email telling me he was coming down for a visit and also did I "fancy a […]Steve-the-Wargamer
- Han Solo in Carbonite June 5, 2018With the recent half term came some precious hobby time and an opportunity to finish off a whimsy that had started with the discovery of a Star Wars related ice cube maker. The silicone mould of the unfortunate Han Solo, following his entombment in carbonite, proved too much of a lure and was duly ordered. When it arrived, I started to wonder if there migh […]Michael Awdry
- "This R2 unit has a bad motivator!" June 1, 2018I had hoped that I would take part in 'Forgotten Heroes' this month, but it would appear that my best laid plans have come a little unstuck at present. I had an idea ready to go and with the help of Jez, of 'Carrion Crow's Buffet', had even sourced a couple of likely miniatures ready for conversion. It may well be that I enter some […]Michael Awdry

- Snippets #8 May 28, 2018Oh – von Peter himself had such plans for this post. A completed Saxon battalion or perhaps at a stretch even some Polish troops. But such day dream plannings have all come to nought. So we’ll just have to go with what we have. On with it then … New History Bookman E-Book The History Book Man has been hard at work again and The Army of Hannover and The King’ […]von Peter himself
- Just the briefest of posts to document some of the terrain pieces that can be seen in the earlier episodes... May 27, 2018Just the briefest of posts to document some of the terrain pieces that can be seen in the earlier episodes of this themed month. ‘Combatzone Scenery’ produce a range of resin, impregnated plaster pieces to compliment the Imperial Assault boards. They are simple and durable, but have the added advantage of making the table pop!For ease, I simply airbrushed […]Michael Awdry

Wow! That looks impressive!
Very nice Arteis…
Today I viewed a video about the Samurais that mentioned
Minamoto Musashi [not sure of the spelling…?] and the
and the piece of writing that he completed .
He fought in one of the sectarian armies but later became a bit of a loner
apparently . One of the wandering Ronin until his reputation grew .
God bless you.
I will be taking my ANZAC cove , and Western front battle dioramas
to my local library [Papatoetoe War Memorial Library] for ANZAC day soon .
Keep up the good work.
Nick Pap-etc./Hellenic Kiwi.
sorry forgot to add the name of the book that Minamoto Musashi wrote=>
The Book of Five Rings.
Nick P.
Wow looks great
That is absolutely fantastic Roly!
Where did you got it from?
Hi Teemu. Check my latest posting, as that contains the info you are after. Cheers, Roly
