For the past two years I wanted to get into historical wargaming and I finally did! I bought my first historical miniatures for the Eighty Years War. Never heard of this war? The extremely short description: a war between the […]

A few years ago I wrote some articles about Muskets and Tomahawks and with the new edition I thought I would update it for the new edition. For those who aren’t familiar Muskets and Tomahawks is a Black Powder era […]

I am finally getting to completing a build for 2 clans from the Test of Honour core box and decided to orchestrate battles in the midst of a Japanese village I acquired at GenCon 2 years ago.

Inspired by @Warzan talking about the raid on St Nazaire and after @torros pointed me in the direction of Avalon Hills' game of the same name I found a recreation on Tabletop Simulator and I am going to give it […]

This year, the major 28mm project will be medieval forces for the Hundred Years War.

I started by painting a regiment of Prussian Line Infantry as the 1st Silesian Regiment (on a whim, because the facings looked nice). Now I want to add to the list and the 1st Silesian was part of the 11th […]

So I like most others have lots of projects that I’ve started and have stalled over the years. With boxes of figures mostly metals just sat waiting for some love. But I’ve been playing a little bit of sharp practice […]

Amsembly and paint of German Navy for Cruel Seas against a friend

I'm building all of my GoR stuff at once. I'm not a great painter, nor a great modeller, nor, well, anything. I'm doing this here to a) entice myself to keep doing it, b) get feedback on what I'm doing […]

A friend commissioned me to assemble and paint the base components for the Army Box he picked up. He wants them painted in a winter color scheme.

this will become a painting log for all my saga 28mm forces, to begin with it's only going to be about colour choices for cloth and some dull research so you don't have to

Just a collection point for painted items

Lately, I've been running war games every weekend with members of the community via web conference. Players log on and play wargames with each other in real time, regardless of location, and we usually have at least a couple spectators […]
