  • Editor’s Note: Please Stop Sending Me Products Using AI

    Yeah, it’s a post about that. Read on for why I’m writing about it and some alternatives.

  • News – Sourcebook Patreon

    Well, it’s time to kick this project off. For the last three years, I’ve been busy working on crafting wargames scenarios and systems for ultramodern wargaming. As part of this, I’ve built up a collection of writings, most of which is ready for the gaming table but not quite yet to actually show the general…

  • GDPR and ChargeBlog

    Yep, it’s one of those posts. Time for a bit of housekeeping. Part of my weekend has been spent doing some spring cleaning on the site, fixing up some of the crud left over from running the same wordpress install since 2009. The other part has been working on some tweaks needed to bring the…

  • Salute 2018 Trip Report

    Salute is the largest wargames show in the UK and, for me, a chance to visit London, see the sights, catch up with other wargamers and then escape within 24(ish) hours with a bag full of lead and future plans made. Since going to my first in 2015 as I rejoined the hobby, I’ve eagerly…

  • 2018 in Preview

    We’ve taken a look at what happened in 2017, let’s take a look at what’s coming up in 2018. Targets The main plan is really just to keep going with the current plan as a base level. 2 posts a week works out pretty well, with Wargaming Week taking about an evening so the rest…

  • 2017 in Review

    Time to talk State of the Union. My Christmas break blog reading was packed with people talking about how their blog had done in 2017 and what they had planned for 2018. I always like reading these posts so I think it’s time to add my own to the pile. As is traditional, it may…

  • Going on Break

    We’re here! The last post of 2017! Post number 113 for 2017. I really hope you all enjoy the new part of the Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison. They are a bit of bastard to write but hearing people talk about the end result makes it all worthwhile. To make things easier, I’ve actually…

  • The Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Before we start a disclaimer: I have done some writing for Skirmish Sangin (including the latest book) and I am listed in the Spectre Operations book as a play tester. Last year I wrote the Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison as a way to share some of the information about the hobby which I…

  • Important: Cleaning Up and Coming Soon!

    Hey everyone! So, if you you may have received a pile of emails earlier this evening talking about video games. You may also have noticed there has been a bit of a drop in the number of posts on the site and lots of categories have gone missing. This is because I’ve decided to tidy…

  • What happened to Project Little Bird?

    A while back I wrote a long post about making some Little Birds to add to the tabletop. Since then, nothing has happened. The reasons for this are multiple: I have been super busy so didn’t sit down and build the kit King’s Hobbies have shown off some 3D renders for both the AH6 and…

  • End of 2016/Start of 2017

    Ah it’s the Christmas season. A time when people get to celebrate, receive presents and blog writers get to wax lyrical about life, usually sipping a bottle of wine and trying to look pensive for their relatives while actually staring at wordpress’s blinding screen. Instead I’m just looking at my new NAS box, all ready…

  • Preview Post!

    Got a demo game down at SESWC tomorrow to show off Spectre Operations. Expect a report coming soon! As a preview, here is one of the sides

  • Project Little Bird Begins

    There is a set of rules in Skirmish Sangin I haven’t had the chance to really use and that’s the helicopter rules (introduced in Dispatches 2 and Day of the Rangers). Part of this is down to the missions I’ve played (if adding the vehicles boosted up the points, adding a helo is something else…

  • On the Work Bench 01/05/2016

    So stealing from several popular blogs, I’m going to a weekly post saying whats on my painting table this week as well as any models that have turned up. I don’t plan to buy a huge amount until the painting is done though – the army case is pretty full already. Newly Arrived: Spectre’s Agents…

  • Feather Added to Cap

    I’m writing this from my new flat in Edinburgh – first night in by myself after a mad weekend of moving furniture around, going to IKEA and sorting out where I will be living for a while. Its a step up from Brighton – feels much more like a flat I want to be in…
