I have been interested in going more epic scale and to use smaller area for a possible blackpowder style time period. I wanted to minimize the space it would take up as not a primary time period I play. I […]

In January 1942 the 1500 defenders of Rabaul, New Guinea, faced 5000 experienced Japanese troops of the South Seas Force.. if they don't stop the tidal wave of Imperial Japan, is Australia next? Based on an actual Platoon that fought […]

After seing the SMOL kickstarter for 3d printable samurai and having a hankering for a large samurai army, or two, I thought I'll give it a go! The intent, at the moment, is to build a couple of 15mm armies […]
