  • Impressions: Sarissa Precision Industrial

    Impressions: Sarissa Precision Industrial

    Sarissa Precision are pretty high on my list of favourite terrain companies thanks to their wonderfully detailed buildings. Among my favourites in the range are two buildings from their Industrial range, the factory and the office. I first saw these thanks to Spectre’s playtest report and was immediately interested in them. Like all Sarissa buildings, both arrive on A4 sheets of laser cut mdf. In addition, they also have some cardboard detailing panels that sit inside the MDF. Unusually for an MDF building, the kit actually includes instructions which is massively appreciated to make sure no mistakes happen during assembly.…

    Wargaming Week 15/05/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 8th of May through to the 13th of May. BLOG STUFF Whole host of things! In terms of actual posts, I put up an impressions of the Foxhound. Its a lovely little kit and I’m really looking forward to getting it painted up. In other news, you may have noticed I’ve setup a Facebook page where I’ll be sharing all the posts from this site. If you’re wanting to get everything I write straight to your newsfeed, I’d recommend liking or following it. I’ll also probably put up extra images on facebook as it’s an easier site for people to browse.…

    Impressions: Evil Bear Wargames Foxhound

    The War on Terror has seen a massive rise in the use of IEDs against conventional forces and as such, there was a much greater interest in the development and purchasing of mine resistant vehicles. The British Army purchased a whole fleet of vehicles designed for different roles, including a replacement for the Snatch Land Rover. Named the Foxhound, this vehicle is currently in British service. Evil Bear Wargames have previously released another vehicle from the late 2000’s refresh (The Panther) and I was very impressed with it. Lots of detail, hot swappable weapons  and super easy to assemble and paint.…

    Impressions: Spectre’s Razor

    Salute saw me picking up a few things, one of which was a very exciting upcoming release from Spectre Miniatures. For months we have been teased with render and prototype images of perhaps the most complex kit they have produced. Perfect for Spectre games of special operations, this new vehicle will be perfect to transport your operators around the board at high-speed. I am of course talking about the Razor, the lightweight 4WD that has been recently introduced into use by the US Special Forces Community. Airportable and capable of transporting four troops across rough terrain with all their kit.…

  • Wargaming Week 08/05/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 2nd of May through to the 7th of May. BLOG STUFF One post, covering some generic scenarios I’ve had sat in my drafts box for a while. A little thing relating to the blog I thought I should mention – I’ve added some adsense units to the sidebar and footer as well as a donate link in the sidebar. The idea behind this is to provide a little bit of income for all the stuff that appears here (and a way of offloading the costs of buying all the tiny men). I’m planning on ramping up content later this…

  • Modern Scenario Starting Points

    A downloadable version of this article is available here With most of the modern games I play (such as Skirmish Sangin or Spectre), a good scenario is key to your enjoyment. It can paper over any cracks with the dreaded points system and make for something that feels less like a game and more like a story or a recreation of a real life event. That said, sometimes you just want to get some figures on the board and play. Games Workshop does a pretty good job of this with their scenario selection but they also rely heavily on carefully matched…

  • Wargaming Week 02/05/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 24th of April through to the 1st of May. BLOG POSTS One big post this week – part 3 of my demo game being assembled. Its the longest post so far and lots of pictures. GAMING No gaming – lots of writing instead. PURCHASES For the big thing, go see my post on the demo board. However, on the smaller side I picked up an Evil Bear Foxhound second hand. I’ve been wanting one of these for a while and seeing it being sold off by a friend, well I just had to grab it. It…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Part 3 – Building Boards and Buying Planes

    If you are wanting to stay informed about this build, the best way is to follow my blog using it’s RSS feed or sign up to email updates using the box at the top of the sidebar.   Since the last time I wrote about my demo game plans a fair amount has happened. I’m going to split it up into a few sections but there has been a lot of progress The Plan The initial plan was to run the demo game at two shows (Leeds and York), with Leeds being the starting point and York being the big focus on…
