It took a little longer than planned but my blogs are now all moved over to my new host (IONOS for anyone interested). Hopefully, you don’t actually see any significant changes, aside from maybe some speed improvement. The only downside is my figure tracking database has been moved to my own house server due to some access controls on the new host. Then again, my plan to have it on full display isn’t quite there yet so no great loss. Also, you don’t get to see my pile of shame! Now to make the physical house move. After I work…

So, at the same time as choosing to change where I live physically, I’m also changing where I live digitally! Basically, I’ve been massively overpaying for my current server host for what is a website that needs little processing power and a load of storage for photos of almost 10 years of hobby stuff. Well, the current host doesn’t let you get storage without a power increase and so I’ve been paying for lots of stuff I don’t use. I’m currently in the process of swapping over to a new host, so things will probably break soon. But on the…

It is slowly becoming a habit that, at the start of the new year, the Regular Opponents and I gather in the Frozen North (Darlington) to bring in the day after New Year’s with a celebration of Wargaming. In the past, the Creative Regular Opponent has usually run a single massive game of Chain of Command and we’ve played from lunch to dinner, only stopping once our hunger has overwhelmed our love of dice rolling. This year, however, we decided to try something a little different – a taster session, where each of us brought or chose a game to…

After Sunday’s post, I managed to talk to the team at Echelon and reported my findings, including firing over some photos. After that evening, I posted my Sitrep, went to bed and then went up north for a day of wargaming (post on that fun coming soon). When I got back, I had some news from Echelon – after checking with other people who have received their Phaseline boxes, it seems I had received a bad batch. To fix it, they are sending out replacement models for the set – the Aayari side will be back in spun resin, while…

Look, I know I’m in the middle of packing up to move but it’s close to the end of the year, I just had the new BPRE box arrive in my hands (more on that this week) and Spectre earlier this week sent me an email talking about how they are no longer selling their ruleset. It’s a lot all at once and it’s got me thinking a fair amount about the main wargaming genre I spend my time in (even if fantasy is chasing up behind it at a concerning speed). So I’m going to throw words into this…
