Month: May 2018

  • Wargaming Week 28/05/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 21st through to the 27th of May. BLOG STUFF Last week was a surprise double bill, looking at two areas of Technical weaponry. Wednesday saw a look at the Improvised weapons while Friday focused on weapons for the Bravo Technical. Project Technical has been fun to work on –…

  • Technicals – Bravo Equipment

    Ah, time to go back to old faithful. It’s safe to say that writing about pickups with guns has been pretty successful so far. This time, I’m taking a look at three new pieces of gear designed for the more modern of the technical models offered by Spectre, Technical Bravo. The Bravo has a much…

  • Technicals – Improvised Weapon Systems

    While writing Friday’s post I realised, except for a brief mention, I haven’t actually talked about some of the wierder weapons available from Spectre and how I had assembled them ready for hot-swapping into the technicals. Seeing as they don’t fit into either of the themes of the next two posts, and as a midweek…

  • Wargaming Week 21/05/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 14th through to the 21st of May. BLOG STUFF Last week’s post was kicking off a new project! B-Town is going to be packed full of me finally getting my MDF finished off and ready for the tabletop as well as lots of opportunities to try out new things.…

  • GDPR and ChargeBlog

    Yep, it’s one of those posts. Time for a bit of housekeeping. Part of my weekend has been spent doing some spring cleaning on the site, fixing up some of the crud left over from running the same wordpress install since 2009. The other part has been working on some tweaks needed to bring the…

  • Project: B-Town – Part 1: More Impressions and Project Begins

    It’s time for a new project! With the completion of Operation Dragon’s Hoard, my scenery projects have run dry (and less full of downed planes and dust). However, that doesn’t mean my terrain collection is all good to go. Since I started wargaming, I’ve slowly been collecting more and more MDF, all ready for a…

  • Wargaming Week 14/05/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 7th through to the 13th. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was taking a look at Spectre’s MENA Regulars. I always find this style of figure really useful when designing scenarios (especially when wanting a change from hordes of insurgents). I’m every excited to see what comes next in this…

  • Impressions: Spectre MENA Regulars

    It’s safe to say that most ultramodern games will probably end up with high tech Western forces up against irregulars. However, sometimes you’ll need some more uniform looking MENA forces to either act as the OPFOR or to act the role of the locals being advised or assisted. At Salute, Spectre released their first wave…

  • Wargaming Week 07/05/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 30th of April through to the 6th of May. BLOG STUFF Last week was a two post week – Wednesday was taking pictures of Hammerhead 2018 while Friday was the last post for Operation Dragon’s Hoard. As I say in the post, it’s been real fun to run the…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: The Final Run and Post Mortem

    This post should have been appearing back in March. However, General Winter came a calling and the final run of Operation Dragon’s Hoard was delayed due to the show being cancelled after an unexpected amount of snow. In my last post on Operation Dragon’s Hoard, I covered some major tweaks I’d made to the plane…

  • Hammerhead 2018

    Okay, so I may have said I was not doing a Wednesday post, but while writing the Operation Dragon’s Hoard focused article I realised that it was turning into a bit of a monster by combining show report and post mortem. Instead, I’ve brought forward the post with all the pictures to today! So here’s…
