  • Wargaming Week 28/01/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 21st through to the 27th of January. BLOG STUFF Blog has been quiet again. Still slowly working my way through things. NEWS The M-ATV J-LTV is getting closer and this week it has appeared with the ridiculous 30mm cannon mount that was shown off last week. Having now seen on the vehicle, I can’t wait to see what my players do once it hits the wargames table. For some more pictures of both the new Remote Weapon System and the JLTV, check out this album the Spectre team put up. https://www.facebook.com/groups/spectreopwargame/permalink/2939681766057616/?tn=-UC-R Spectre have put…

  • Wargaming Week 21/01/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 14th through to the 20th of January. BLOG STUFF Nothing this week – it’s not really been a very hobby active time. NEWS On the other hand, so much news. Black Site Studios has released a pile of buildings suitable for Ultramodern Middle East battles. They have really focused on the more urban areas, and the first release is a nice pair of focal buildings as well as various walls. As with all Black Site stuff, these are prepainted MDF and so are ideal for getting onto the board quickly. But that’s not all!…

  • Wargaming Week 14/01/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 7th through to the 13th of January. BLOG STUFF First up, I got a battle in on Thursday! As you can see on the post, it was an interesting game, both to organise and play. I’m looking forward to getting some more in! Also exciting was seeing that I’ve been playing Skirmish Sangin for 4 years this week. You can tell how much I like it by the fact it’s still my go to. I’m also seeing all the photos of my first painted models which are :|. NEWS Interesting news from Warbanner this…

  • Battle Report – Rescue Mission – Skirmish Sangin

    Battle Report – Rescue Mission – Skirmish Sangin

    Okay, this game was an exercise in improvisation. What was originally planned as an all-out assault on a rebel fortress (cancelled due to lack of painting time) became a massive multi-person game (until we lost some players due to double booking) until finally it was down to a tight, three person game. And what a game it was. SITUATION:BAZISTAN US MARSOC Team Sabre has been separated and immobilised behind enemy lines. Radio communications report their Humvee was damaged in an ambush and the team has sustained casualties. ISAF-AP forces are directed to recover injured personnel and destroy assets. Local National…

    Wargaming Week 07/01/2019

    And we are back in 2019! Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the Christmas Break! BLOG STUFF First up in terms of posts was the second part of my fantasy game project! With two new sprues to look at, I managed to create a few more heroes ready for painting from the crewman and female soldier sprues. Now I just need to get to painting them… But that wasn’t all for posts! I managed to get a game of Chain of Command in against my usual wargaming buddy Peeb’s Gaming Nonsense. Clashing over a compound in the desert using his Western…

  • “The Battle for Farm 412” or “Coc’ing around in the Desert”

    As you might guess from someone who plays a lot of Skirmish Sangin, I don’t play wargames as a competitive exercise. Winning is nice, but at the end of the day, I’d much rather tell a good story, immerse the players in the setting and scenario. I’d rather make the players concentrate on making the decisions the real commanders would have to make. Chain of Command from Too Fat Lardies is a game all about giving you the feel of being a platoon commander in the 1940’s. It’s about giving you the tricky choices while removing some of the more…

  • Project Dungeon Crawl – The Additional Players

    Project Dungeon Crawl – The Additional Players

    Ah time to catch up on some of those side projects… Oh. As you might have guess by the slow down on the main blog, I just didn’t have time for very much other than moderns for the last little bit and so my fantasy adventuring plans have gone literally nowhere. I still have a pile of unpainted models on my desk and I have yet to even play a single game of Open Combat. However, that wasn’t going to stop me picking up some sprues and creating a few more adventurers to go into the dungeons. Kicked off by…

    Wargaming Week 17/12/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 10th through to the 16th of December. BLOG STUFF Surprise, I’m back! Last week I took a look at the Ember team guys from Spectre Miniatures. I really like these guys and I really hope we’re going to see more figures from this partnership with Echelon Software. And just as I get back, I immediately go away again for my Christmas break. There will be a new Wargaming Week on the 7th of January but I might try and drop a few things during the break. For example, I think the last figures for…
