Adventures in Wargaming

Year: 2024

  • The News Stand: 27/05/2024

    It’s a bank holiday here in the UK (yes we get two of them in May) but not even a holiday stops The News Stand. As it’s the end of the month, we’ve got a pile of previews for June from everyone from Spectre to Anvil Digital Force to Combat Octopus to Turnbase Miniatures. Plus,…

  • Combat Geometry: Square Bases, Plastic Kits, Movement Trays and Game Days

    Since the last post talking Old World (and the minor update in the monthly project update) things have… escalated. At this stage I’ve managed to get all the figures I need for my 2000 points list, thanks to an assault on eBay and some careful pushes. The next step was to actually assemble them all.…

  • The News Stand: 20/05/2024

    I spent most of the weekend away from home (mostly at the Tank Museum) but in the meantime, there seems to have been a fair chunk of updates going on in the Ultramodern world. From Flytrap Factory announcements to Kickstarter updates from Bobmack3d and Miska to previews from Combat Octopus, we have plenty of news…

  • The News Stand: 13/05/2024

    We’re rolling in May and we have plenty of exciting things to dig into. Combat Octopus has released his latest set, Spectre has shown off some upcoming heavy firepower and BobMack3d gets us ready for an upcoming Kickstarter. Read on for more! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the…

  • ChargeReal Project 1: The Written Word (Part 2)

    It’s been a little while since I last posted a proper update about the ChargeReal project on this site – hobby times has been distracted by the arrival of The Old World in my group of Regular Opponents and so evenings spent printing resin and painting green have been replaced with assembling plastic and rebasing…

  • The News Stand: 06/05/2024

    Start of a new month so we have a pile of new updates from across the board. Miska’s Kickstarter continues, Black Hills and Urban Scatter Gaming announce new plans, and Combat Octopus shows off two more armoured lads. Oh, and Spectre Miniatures has a massive release for your vehicle garage. As always, thanks to the…

  • Project Update: May 2024

    Oh yeah, we’re doing this again. As much as I do my SITREPs and updates when things happen, sometimes you need that monthly update to keep your eye on the sheer number of plates you’re spinning. I’m going to write them at the start of each month, and do a quick once over what’s been…

  • The News Stand: 28/04/2024

    This week, the news returns with a vengeance – new releases from Empress, Kickstarters, previews and more! Read on for more! 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 roundups and find them useful,…

  • SITREP: A Matter of Scale

    I’ve been into Ultramodern Wargaming for almost 10 years at this point, from the first figures ordered in a Dundee student flat to running this blog and spending a lot of time talking, writing, painting, playing and thinking about wargaming. That’s a lot of time to gather a lot of rules, a lot of scenery…

  • The News Stand: 22/04/2024

    New updates this week from across the spectrum of Ultramodern Wargaming. Scenarios from Spectre, Vehicles from Miska, Cool Operators from Combat Octopus and Scenery from Urban Scatter Gaming. What’s not to like? As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to make this wrap-up…

  • Combat Geometry

    Listen, I am on record of disliking Combat Geometry. Combat Geometry is the feature of rank and flank games, the clashing of big blocks of troops that slowly trudge forwards, where players spend time humming and ahhing over specific degrees before rolling a mountain of dice. I prefer a little more cut and thrust, a…

  • The News Stand: 15/04/2024

    Hey so remember how last week was an absolutely massive bumper edition? Well, it seems like it may have affected the tides of content because this week is much quieter! With the fewest items I’ve had for a while, I had to include the same company twice in the header image! Anyway, on with the…

  • SITREP: Stumbling Through Blender

    As you may have seen, I have a 3D printer (I’ve talked a little bit about it). Since I got my first printer back in December 2020, I’ve been printing with STL files produced by other people – something glorious about having the printer at the beck and call is the fact there are so…

  • The News Stand: 08/04/2024

    April has well and truly begun, complete with our first April showers (I’m writing this as a storm pelts the window). But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a pile of new updates from the world of Ultramodern Gaming – as well as a few other things that had to be included. It appears to…

  • The News Stand: 01/04/2024

    As much as I wanted to start this week’s News Stand with an April Fools, Warlord Games frankly went over the top with the sheer number of them. Instead, I can promise you a post without a single fake entry, instead bringing you a pile of new releases, previews and more! As always, thanks to…
