26/11/2023

It’s that time of the year! Get ready for the Black Friday Special! That’s right, pretty much all the news this week is just a load of Black Friday deals kicking off (hence why I’m releasing it a little earlier to make sure all the deals are still running when people read it). Aside from that, we have a few more previews and end-of-month releases so let’s get on with it! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to make this wrap-up each week. If you like these…

Gunslinger Launches”Gunslinger SOG” on Kickstarter

16/11/2023

I’m pleased to announce that Gunslinger has launched its latest project onto Kickstarter earlier today and it is already funded! Gunslinger SOG “Across the Fence” takes the Gunslinger ethos and brings it back to the Vietnam War, rolling out a uniquely detailed and posed range ideal for both wargaming and display. “Across the Fence” focuses on the work of MACV-SOG, operating along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Deploying in small groups into the depths of the jungle, SOG teams played cat and mouse against the dedicated hunters of the Trường Sơn Hunter-Killer Teams. I’ve included some details below, as well…

I am pleased to announce the fifth release of the new Gunslinger range from Flytrap Digital is available now, for those backing the Patron at the appropriate levels. This release continues Phase 2, expanding Kojoti with two new teams, a whole host of special weapons AND a brand new Character to add to the world of Gunslinger. Before we get into it, a major programming note – at the time of writing, we are less than 12 hours out from the launch of the first Gunslinger Kickstarter.

This week, in its new slot of Monday lunchtime (weekends are getting increasingly busy), The News Stand is taking a look at a WHOLE load of Spectre as well as a few other things that came in. Look, there is a lot for Spectre and I really shouldn’t have missed out on the stuff from last week because it’s a busy time for them!

The Board Of Shadowy Figures: End of Month 1

04/11/2023

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board of Shadowy Figures, we have reached the end of the first month of the project and it’s time for my report on the progress. For anyone unaware, The Board of Shadow Figures is a patreon tier for the ChargeBlog Patreon, letting you decide what project I should work on next. To prevent you all from sending me off down a deep dark rabbit hole, I provide the options and the Board picks which one exactly. Then I get to write an article, show off the hobby and hopefully get some more stuff done! Good…
SITREP – Asymmetric Warfare/Spectre Operations Explained

03/11/2023

Good news! Asymmetric Warfare has been released as PDF, with version 1.1 on DriveThru RPG now. I received my copy from the Author while I was having a day off (actually getting the email while strolling around the Yorkshire Air Museum), and although I’ve only managed to have a skim through it, it does feel a touch like sitting back in a familiar comfy chair (except someone made the chair slightly less squeaky and added a bipod). The problem is that this has stirred up the nest once again about the confusion between Asymmetric Warfare and Spectre Operations – the…
