About the Project
For the past few years I've been running my wargames blog at https://hntdaab.co.uk/blog, cranking out a post a week talking about Ultramodern Wargaming (post 2001ish). Topics vary, from looking at recent releases and older ranges to tactics to battle reports (when I can get a game in).

PROJECT HUMVEE – WEAPON OPTIONS
This week’s post is now up – Project Humvee rolls on! This time, more guns!
Last time we looked at Project Humvee, we’d just finished adding another chassis to our convoy. In this post, we’re going to add some more weapon options. When running scenarios, it’s nice to be able to pick from a selection of gear, so the hot-swappable turret system is perfect.

FORCE PROTECTION – FINISHING THE FOXHOUNDS
This week’s post is up – we’re taking a look at the Evil Bear Wargames Foxhounds
Wargamers like building themselves piles of lead. This is a known phenomenon. Of course, having a blog does like to remind you of these lead piles, especially when you start cleaning up your blog of old posts.
One of the first impressions pieces I wrote, way back in May 2017, was on the Evil Bear Foxhound. Now, over a year later, and after watching some Humvees being ripped to shreds by an explosive device, I’m finally inspired to get my act together and get these wonderful little vehicles painted up.

BATTLE REPORT – “TRAINING DAY” – SKIRMISH SANGIN
It’s been a while but it’s time for a new AAR. I managed to get in a game of Skirmish Sangin, seeing the Aden Defence Force go up against local militia forces in the highlands of Aden.

PROJECT HUMVEE – VEHICLE 3
This week’s post is now up – taking a look at Vehicle 3 in Project Humvee.
In the last Project Humvee post, I has a chunk planning out Vehicle 3 in the project. Well, this week I managed to get around to assembling and painting it in preparation for next week’s game.
First stage was assembly. This was exactly the same as mentioned in back in the first post of Project Humvee. Vehicle 3 is actually the exact same setup as the Vehicle 1 (using HMV Upgrade Alfa) except with the addition of two rear mounted aerials. One is from HMV Upgrade Charlie while the other is the FLIR setup from the Comms and Countermeasures pack included in the Version 2 of Spectre’s stowage.
