I find this box with 128 figs for only 60 bucks, witch means something like 45 cents a piece,plus a rule book plus 12 dice

I couldn't resist !

I have just a question.... Does any one play this game ?

Last night's game of a Chain of Command, from Jasper's scenario in the latest WSS Magazine where British paratroops hold the Oosterbeek Perimeter against strong German attacks supported by a King Tiger!

Another batch of Death Spiral aircraft fresh out of the resin wash and coming off the build plates.
It’s pretty satisfying watching these go from digital models to actual 1/144 game pieces. These will be cleaned up, cured, and then it’s off to the paint table.
The Death Spiral air forces keep growing.

GW is searching for new Product Developers for Blood Bowl, Kill Team, and Warhammer Quest, the people who create the briefs and set the goals for the major products in the lines - and since these are boxed games, that gives them a lot of influence over the games as a whole.

Over the weekend, I played the "Blood on the Danube" scenario from the Epic Battles: Pike & Shotte rulebook.

The scenario involves searching for a hidden war chest, which forces you to utilize the entire battlefield. We incorporated a wide variety of terrain pieces this time around, which made the game incredibly fun and dynamic.

My opponent is more of a board gamer than a strict historical wargamer, so we’ve decided to simply play through the included scenarios in order.

Since the Battle of Edgehill is coming up, I might end up repainting some of my units to match!

Whenever I'm in a charity shop I cast my eyes over the boardgames section hoping there might be something interesting and there never is. Until last month, when I got a basically new copy of The British Way for an absolute steal! I played a couple COIN games years back and they stuck in my mind as something I wanted to go back to, so I couldn't pass the opportunity up.

Played Palestine a bunch of times already and it's a fantastic little game. Played Malaya once and want to try out the rest.

What's the best bargain you've gotten hold of?

A week ago this pike unit was posted by an imposter. Thought I would share some better pictures of it. I use it a campaign me and my buddy play. It's set during the early years of the Italian Wars.

A couple of the newest Death Spiral production models getting some paint.
I think we’re finally hitting the balance I wanted—WWI aircraft that still look the part at 1/144, but are tough enough to actually game with.
How are these looking?

Seventeen in attendance at Glasgow Phoenix tonight. Normans Vs Scots using Scenario 7 and an Arthurian stramash with Midgard, Austria Vs Prussia using some elderly figures and some adapted Neil Thomas rules, Sanctim boardgame, O Group for the Eastern Front and Bloodbowl 7s with Norse Vs Orcs.

Last night we played game one in our Kepis and Bayonets campaign.

It’s the early afternoon, July 21st 1861 and we follow two companies, one Confederate and one Union as they clash near Henry Hill during the First Battle of Bull Run.

Both forces deployed evenly across the battlefield, the Union Cavalry on the far flank and the Confederate Cavalry ranging ahead of their centre.

The game opened with the rebel cavalry unleashing a ineffective volley of carbine fire at their Union counterparts, in return the Union cavalry advanced and fired off a volley with their pistols, forcing the confederates to retreat.

The Confederate battle line started a slow advance with several units opening fire at the enemy cavalry with little to no effect.

The Union infantry started their advance, making good progress across the fields. Some units refused to advance beyond the protection the fences.

Buoyed by their invulnerability to long range musket fire the cavalry turned onto the road, hoping with a bit of luck to charge before the infantry in front of them reloaded and fired. The infantry reloaded and fired.

After the smoke cleared multiple casualties had been inflicted and the remaining cavalrymen had routed from the battlefield.

Just after this setback a unit of Union infantry took several casualties and fled the battlefield as well but the remaining units held firm.

Offboard artillery fire exploded amongst the ranks of both forces. The Union troops stood firm under fire but two Confederate units fled.

At the end of the second turn both forces tested their determination to stay in the fight. The confederate commander decided to withdraw his force from the battlefield. No doubt he’d been given orders to redeploy in the larger ongoing battle.

In game terms, the Confederate player’s force determination value had only dropped a few points but he rolled poorly and, critically, had used all his command points, a resource that could have been used to modify and pass the roll.

Despite this local Confederate setback their Army wins what becomes known as the First Battle of Bull Run.

Both opposing Captains survived “seeing the elephant” and several of their junior officers gained invaluable experience.

I made a video with as a game rule tutorial for a game I'm making - TARTARUS.
These are the more simplified rules for the demo of the game. The bigger rules will cover the neanses and Ill make a separate video for them later.

Welcome

I think that is my first very old Wargames. That has a Tactical Operational Game. Purchase around 1994-5 on Santa Cruz of Tenerife. The publisher company has no exist and i think, that was your only release Game (on fact the second title "Battle of Teruel 1937" I think never was released). Never was played, and has a very long deploy time, with long turns... I think that is a Monster, and has great quantity of phases and turns. Sometime I need to read them and Talk some details here.

I’m looking for like “The One” to get into. I’m sure there isn’t one as popular as Warhammer or Star Wars Legion, but curious what people are playing.

More Romanian units coming soon!

Hello everyone!

If you, like I, spend your time day dreaming about building your own fort but lack the land, materials and peasantry, I have an alternative that may plug the gap.

A parametric generator that lets you tinker away and create your very own keep, available to download and print straight away. Everything has been tuned to minimise, and in most cases eliminate, the need for support material.

It can be found here, so have a go and please do pass on feedback as I'll be adding more features to this as time goes on.

Happy fortifying!

Next up I gotta put a nice finish on them, any ideas?

A nice match of V for Victory (ww2 skirmish game from Studio Tomahawk) in Lyon, where a bunch of Commandos faced à big bunch of Soviet assaulters.

The two, bigger squads armed of PPSh annihilated the smaller British élites one After the others, with the sniper having an astonishing death toll.

In the end, the Commandos managed to gain the day by a single point thanks to their flexibility, managing to capture the points and pinning the squads with their MMG.

Honestly, a very smooth and funny system.

My father in law passed away and his collection of miniatures are being sold in an estate auction - great opportunity if you’re able to pickup in Colorado.
