SITREP: What A Nerf Herder Begins

Well, on Saturday while at Salute I took into my hands a suspicious brown paper envelope from one Mr Richard Clarke of Too Fat Lardies. Inside was the rulebook and cards for What a Cowboy, a ruleset that went from “eh cowboys” to “VERY EXCITED” in not a huge amount of time. Of course, this…

Patreon Update – Secret Notes from the Hobby Desk

Right, it’s time for a little plugging. I don’t do it much so I realise this may be a little bit of a shock. In case you didn’t know, I run a Patreon for this blog! It mostly is to function as a tip jar, somewhere to drop a bit of cash every month if…

The News Stand: Combat Octopus – April 2023

Oh no, he’s back to writing news posts Combat Octopus has released this month’s figure set today. It was definitely an eagerly awaited one, especially as for a long time CO had said that doing Regular US Army was not on his list of goals (seeing as they have been pretty widely covered). However, times…

SITREP: Baptism of Fire

After moving in, I haven’t yet had a chance to hit the gaming table in my own house, instead going off to the Dastardly Regular Opponent’s house for Chain of Command or BattleTech. However, having finished decorating my dining room I am now ready to begin hosting games for my roster of opponents. But where…

SITREP: … And Tiny Mechs

SITREP: More Tiny Buildings…

Last Year, I printed out some tiny 6mm buildings from Lazy Forger in preparation for a game featuring tiny mechs. A year later, the Regular Opponents and I planned out a game featuring tiny mechs. So of course, I had to print more buildings. And not just because Lazy Forger has been tempting me with…

SITREP: Tiny Mechs Done Fast

So mere moments after writing my Letter from the Hobby Desk, I looked down and realised that I had another project sitting literally by my feet in a box. Back in January, the Dastardly Regular Opponent decided that I didn’t have enough tiny robots in my life and got me this set for my Birthday.…

Letter From The Hobby Desk: April 2023

The biggest problem when running a wargaming blog is deciding the pace and tempo of blog posts you want to do. Okay, that’s a lie – the biggest problem when running a wargaming blog is knowing when not to add new projects to the pile. But that’s impossible to fix so I’m going to focus…
