    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 10th through to the 16th of June. BLOG STUFF New post this week (only just) looking at the Drone systems from Spectre Miniatures.

  • Impressions: Spectre Miniatures Drone Systems

    Ultramodern war, especially in the last few years, has been marked with several iconic items. MRAPs, quad eye NVGS, the list of equipment that screams out this current time period. But I think the one that a lot of people think of has to be the unmaned vehicles. Be it an off the shelf quad…

  • Wargaming Week 03/05/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering… a long time. BLOG STUFF A new post went up last week! The battle report I played before I disappeared away to the US was a rather fantastic little game of Spectre Operations that did not immediately start off with a raging firefight. On the other hand, it shouldn’t have…

  • Battle Report: The Trading Floor – Spectre Operations

    I’m back from the States – I didn’t have any time to get this stuff written until I got back so after much delay, here it is! The last few games of Spectre have been focused on the all-out battles, vehicles and gun battles from the very first moment. However, modern war isn’t all the…

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 15th through to the 22nd of April.

  • Salute 2019

    Last weekend was Salute 2019, the biggest wargames show of the UK calendar. And as is tradition, I got myself down to London for a weekend of tourism and looking at the usual impressive selection of wargames goods that appear at the show. And, as you can see in the last Wargaming Week, I bought…

  • Battle Report – Operation Monte Carlo – Spectre Operations

    Well it’s finally time. Spectre Operations V2 has finally arrived on my desk and it pushed me to go get a game of it together down at the wargames club. And having just watched Triple Frontier, the idea of contractors doing bad things for gold was sat on my mind. And then I found the…
