Adventures in Wargaming

Month: March 2024

  • ChargeReal Project 1: Building Shyluz (Part 1)

    You might have heard the name Shyluz being thrown around a fair amount on the blog. If you aren’t aware, this is the fictional setting for the first ChargeReal book, a deep dive that will detail its geography, and political intrigue but more importantly how it can be used for wargaming. However, before we can…

  • The News Stand: 25/03/2024

    It’s the start of a new week, so let’s take a look at all the latest updates from the world of Ultramodern Wargaming. We’ve got previews from Spectre, teases from Empress and much, much more! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to…

  • SITREP: Cleaning House(s)

    This year I’ll have been wargaming for 10 years. Over that time I’ve been lucky to be able to afford a significant chunk of items for my hobby, ranging from figures to terrain and even to tools such as my 3D printers. The hobby is something I really enjoy (and I think the fact this…

  • AAR: CGS: Recce In Northern Shyluz

    The Dastardly Regular Opponent and I live roughly 45 minutes away from each other – a little too far for a school night game but perfect for me to nip over on a Saturday evening. We’re aiming for at least one game day a month which so far we’ve managed to hit. When I gave…

  • AAR: Sergi and Ivan in Trouble (What An Operator)

    In the last AAR I wrote, I was introducing the Corporate and Dastardly Regular Opponents to What an Operator, a variant of What A Cowboy. Well, there is another regular opponent who needed his introduction to the current game as the Former Housemate is someone who usually lightly suffers through my Ultramodern games while dreaming…

    Back to being on time and we have a new edition. As well as updates from Spectre, Combat Octopus and Flytrap, it’s also Adepticon week meaning that we have events for both BPRE and InCountry.

  • SITREP: Little Izba In The Mountains (Patrick Miniatures Soviet Village Pack)

    As I mentioned in a previous post, I may have printed a load of FDM buildings out but I am yet to actually start painting them. In part, this comes down to the unfamiliarity with a new material (how well will it take spray paint etc) but the other side is just needing to get…

  • SITREP: City Planning

    In the last catchup on the FDM printing, I mentioned things were running pretty solidly for the FDM printer but expressed some concerns about how easy it would be to go printing madly away. The Tired World Studios Hexengarde range is packed full of things I’d love to print, and it would be very easy…

  • The News Stand: 12/03/2024

    Apologies for the timing of the last few weeks of The News Stand – my work has decided that I’m no longer going to be working hybrid and so I’ve lost the Monday lunchtime I would usually use to prepare the weekly post. Plus Helldivers 2 has been taking up my weekend times so I’ve…

  • The News Stand: 04/03/2024

    Well after the disruption of last week, this week’s New Stand is maybe a touch on the light side (probably because there was three fewer days to generate news from). It’s light enough that I’ve left it until late in the day to try and get a few more articles squeezed in! The good news…
