    The Last News Stand: 08/11/2026

    Yep, you’re reading the title right. After 150 editions and as the 900th post on my blog, I think it’s time to hang up the news hat and bring The News Stand to an end. But, we do still have one more run at the news, so read on for more!

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: 100 Years of War, Falkirk

    Operation Dragon’s Hoard: 100 Years of War, Falkirk

    All the posts so far have been leading up to this: the first play through of the game. The original plan had been to go in at the deep end and running the first attempt at a proper show. After that fell through, running the trial at a smaller event made a little more sense. 100 Years of War is an anual event run by the Falkirk Wargames Club After spending the Saturday typing up a play sheet, Sunday saw me waking up at 8:30 to drive over to Falkirk (about 45 minutes from my flat). The weather was a…

  • Plausible Deniability – News

    What’s this? A new post on a Tuesday evening? That’s not on the schedule! The extra post is for one reason – Plausible Deniability (The new book for Skirmish Sangin I’ve been working on for about a year) has gone to the printers. We don’t want to put an exact date on it but it’s on the final approach to being available to the general public. I’ll be very vocal when it comes out, but it may be worth looking at the Skirmish Sangin blog and facebook pages for updates. I’m incredibly excited to see it become a physical object and available for…

    Wargaming Week 25/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 18th through to the 24th. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was looking at how my demo board is going! The last time I posted about it was back in May where the boards were still mostly wood and the plane was in the box. Now the boards have been played on, the model kits has been assembled and then brutally cut to pieces, and the people have actually enjoyed themselves while playing it! GAMING Nothing at SESWC (I was too busy having a break from drybrushing) but on Sunday I woke up at 8am, got in the…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Part 4 – Final Approach

    Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Part 4 – Final Approach

    So there has been quite a gap since my last update (back in May) and since then a lot has changed. The game went from pie in the sky idea to actual game that is about to run in the next few days. I am both excited and terrified. THE PLAN So in the last plan I fired off a big long list of what is going on with the demo game. However, a few things changed I didn’t make it to Claymore in August – ran out of time to get ready for it. On the other hand, not…

    Wargaming Week 18/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 11th through to the 17th. BLOG STUFF My post on REDvector’s buildings went up! I was a little ashamed of how long it took me to review these buildings seeing as I liked them a lot but it was just finding the time to write the post up. This week’s post will be an update on the demo board. It should be mostly done by Friday morning but there might be a few WIP pieces. After all, it’s not a deadline until you work right up to it! GAMING No gaming still busy building demo board. PURCHASES…

  • Impressions: REDvectors’s MDF Buildings

    Impressions: REDvectors’s MDF Buildings

    You may have noticed some MDF buildings lurking in the background of many of my impressions pieces. I’ve had some comments on them and so this reminded me I really should get my impressions up before they get ruined by my slap-dash painting style. I picked up these buildings after bouncing a long chain of emails between myself and Mick at REDvectors. I’d seen some images of some 20mm buildings (including a version of the target building in Blackhawk Down and the Abbottabad target building) and was blown away by the style and quality of them. I fired him an email,…

    Wargaming Week 11/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 3rd through to the 11th of September BLOG STUFF Last weeks post was covering the completed SF Technicals. As I said in the post, this was really a nice self-contained project. Just a chance to focus on building some cool vehicles and a selection of gear, made easier via Spectre’s great range of stuff. As much fun as I had doing extra posts every other week in August, I don’t think I’m going to carry on doing it in September. Between work and other hobby projects, I’m running out of time in the week. It makes more…

    Non-Standard Tactical Vehicles – Building the SF Technicals

    When the full details for the SF upgrades to the technicals were announced, I could see that assembling these vehicles ready to support my operators on the field was going to be a fun project. Thanks to sheer variety of stowage and other bits to upgrade them with, building my Non-Standard Tactical Vehicles needed some planning and careful part purchasing. Thanks also to my obsession with interoperability and hot swapping, I also had to work out the best way to mount all the various bits of equipment I wanted to use. This post is going to take a look at…
