Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 18th through to the 24th of November. NEWS Table Top Tactical Simulations has announced an upcoming project. It looks like we are finally getting some Russian soft-skins, with the arrival of some Ural trucks. As with all the TTTS stuff, it looks like some really great quality products – just a shame it’s in 1/56 so looks like a toy compared to my Spectre stuff. PURCHASES Well my order from North Star arrived… and then I realised I needed some bases for them. I might have also picked up a few other pieces…

Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 11th through to the 19th of November. (Yep, day later than planned things are pretty busy right now) NEWS Big news of the week – Contact Front is out! Available either in physical or digital formats, this new ruleset is focused on platoon level conflicts in ultramodern environments, with the first book focusing on actions in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2006. I’ve had a little read of it and I’m very excited to take a deeper look. Not 100% when I will get it on the table but my thoughts are coming soon.…

Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 4th through to the 10th of November. NEWS White Dragon is showing off more of its upcoming support weapons, this time the UK forces and their Automatic Grenade Launcher. Perfect for long-range fire support, the sculpting on this weapon is up to White Dragon’s standard. Contact Front is also en route, with a set of posts starting to take a look at it. The army list post is especially interesting – it sounds quite similar to Chain of Command and can’t wait to dig into it deeply. PURCHASES Nothing this week – I…

Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 21st through to the 27th of October. NEWS No news! Last week was a pretty major dump while this week is pretty much silent. PURCHASES After last week’s post, I grabbed some of Sarissa Precision’s compound walls – I’ve been looking to assemble these for a long time so being able to grab some pre-designed saves me a chunk of time. And honestly, walls help to really set the scene. I also picked up a few more pieces for my Dark Eldar project – more details when they are ready, I’m looking forward…

Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 14th through to the 20th of October. NEWS First up, Empress has released some Vietnam US Armoured crew, ideal for modifying all your vehicles for Indochina. As well as their use in Vietnam, I can see plenty of use in smaller third world nations in ultramodern, perfect to stand out from more modern US crew. Delta Zero, an interesting looking tabletop game from the guys down under who do the Power Stance Gaming Podcast, is now on Kickstarter. I’m really interested in giving a go at the rules and see what it does…

Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 7th through to the 13th of October. NEWS Arriving just too late for last week’s post, we have some brand new Empress WW2 Brits. These figures are just going to moulding and I have to say they look perfect – probably my favourite models in the range. These four are the command element, perfect for representing NCOs or officers in your force. I’m already parcelling out which one is going where in my Chain of Command Platoon – naturally, the old man in his greatcoat will be my Senior Leader. I am definitely…

Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 30th of September through to the 6th of October. NEWS First up we have a new rules alert. Zone Alfa is an upcoming ruleset from Osprey covering post-apocalyptic skirmishing in Eastern Europe. If that description brought up images of STALKER to your mind, this is pretty much it. I’m interested in taking a look at the rules – it’s a neat way of reusing modern figures in a tweaked setting or an excuse to add some more to your collection. Empress dropped a pile of new releases before SELWG. As well as some…
