    Wargaming Week 12/06/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 5th of June through to the 11th of June. BLOG STUFF A new Weekend Warfare is up! We’re taking a side step from the adventures of CGS as I need some boards to play on what I have planned for Episode 3 and 4. It was a fun game and I’m thinking of doing some more vignettes as solo scenarios. I also attempted to video it but I’m not 100% on it. I need to find some better ways of doing it. GAMING With the election last week, my usual gaming session was move to Tuesday. Finally being…

    Weekend Warfare 3 – INTEL01 “Thieves in the Night”

    Part 3 of Weekend Warfare steps away from the adventures of CGS (don’t worry, more reports are coming soon following those lunatics). Instead we look at a side story, based on events that took place in Bazistan before Commando Global Solutions arrived. These stories are based off Intel requested by officers in the company Argo Corporation maintains several depots in Bazistan. These depots will often contain Argo made products getting ready for local distribution but can also act as storehouses for Argo Black Ops in the region. 6 months ago, -REDACTED- discovered Argo was stockpiling gear and preparing to move…

    Wargaming Week 05/06/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 30th of May through to the 4th of June. BLOG STUFF The impressions on the TTCombat depot are now up! It was pretty huge and one of the longest posts so far. So far, people seem to quite like it. GAMING I played a solo game on Sunday to test some stealth rules. It started out pretty stealthy but then went downhill and into a 2 way shooting range. Full battle report coming on the weekend. PURCHASES Still nothing. HOBBY So as well as building MDF things and continuing work on the plane, I also had the bi-weekly painting…

    Impressions: TTCombat Distribution Depot Set

    Okay, this is a big one. Normally when looking at buildings for wargaming, the focus is on making the outside look great. The inside becomes a second thought. However, TTCombat’s latest release is a visual treat both inside and out. It’s also ridiculously huge. The Distribution depot is designed to be a centrepiece of a game, allowing gamers to play both inside and out, fighting through the cargo bays and across gantries. As an airsofter, it already feels like some of the urban sites I’ve played through. It’s on the more premium side of TTCombat’s releases and it’s obvious a lot…

    Impressions: TTCombat HGV Truck

    (Hey everyone, as a special treat thanks to me hitting over 2500 views this month, I thought I would bring a post back from the future and put it out on this Bank Holiday Monday) There is something about a toy lorry that takes you back to being a kid. Of course, as a wargamer, you then want to skirmish around them and use them as terrain. You could go and get a diecast truck from the toy shop but there is an alternative if you want to get them even cheaper. TTCombat does several vehicles (including armoured trucks and…

  • Wargaming Week 29/05/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 21st of May through to the 29th of May. BLOG STUFF Last weekend post was looking at all sorts of scatter terrain. Future compliation articles will actually be spread out during a week, looking at different manufacturers in each post and giving them the forefront. This is primarily to allow people to share them without advertising their competitors. A slight change with a massive implication in terms of who get to see what. On the plus side, more posts per week! There is also another new post going up later today (at 1pm BST) to celebrate hitting 2.5k views in…

  • Impressions: Scatter Terrain Part 1

    Impressions: Scatter Terrain Part 1

    Strictly speaking, terrain isn’t technically needed for a wargame – a few pieces of cardboard with labels on can play the role of buildings and walls. However, terrain makes games much more interesting, giving you something to actually fight over rather. While big buildings and rolling hills help shape the gameplay and draw the eye, smaller items and scatter terrain brings the game to life. Its makes urban streets feel like somewhere people live, adds detail to otherwise empty plains and provide vital cover in skirmish games. There are two sets of impressions coming for scatter and smaller terrain items. This…

    Wargaming Week 22/05/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 15th of May through to the 20th of May. BLOG STUFF This week’s post is up, looking at Sarissa’s industrial buildings. Little terrifying to notice that Sarissa actually reposted it on their Facebook page. Thanks to them, Saturday hit some record numbers for views though and I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the blog. Speaking of posts, if you want to know the best time to check the site for new posts, it’s midday Monday (for wargaming week) and midday Saturday for the post of the week. I’m going to try to stick with this pattern although additional posts may pop up.…
