Jackal Hunting: Across the Border – Skirmish Sangin V2
I have already talked much about my love for Skirmish Sangin, and having played V2 remotely over the last few months, I found my energy for it returned. However, I definitely found a few places where the systems in the Beta rules just didn’t seem to work, missing the point of the game or requiring…

The Al-Khoufra Affair – Remote Playing Skirmish Sangin V2
My original plan for last weekend was to spend my Saturday relaxing – I’d had a busy weekend on the one previous (with family events and running a game for one half of TTE), the Sunday was to be airsoft, so Saturday would be a lazy, lazy day. And then Ben, the other half of…

The Bazistan Job – Remote Playing Skirmish Sangin V2
Okay, unlike the last two times, this was entirely on me. I’ve recently been chatting with Dan over on the Ultramodern Wargaming Group/The Table’s Edge podcast/DeskOps store (Christ he’s busy) about Skirmish Sangin and how it plays as an alternative to Spectre. So, after realising I was spending a whole Saturday doing family stuff, I…

A Little Bit of Sharp Practise
Having been working like a mad person, I decided to actually take the easter bank holidays off this year. And so, as is tradition, I messaged my Dastardly Regular opponent to request a scuffle/setup a game. After a misunderstanding of days and me declining to run an Ultramoderns game (the rules still being WIP), I…

Battle Report: Raiders of Tobruk – Chain of Command
February 6th 2022 – as the hordes descend on York Racecourse for Vapanartak, for many the first wargames show of the year, a few streets over in the local scout hut, a different horde was appearing. From North, South and even the wrong side of the Pennines, a group of friends assembled… Surprise, it’s time…

Battle Report: Operation Kinder– Ultramodern Chain of Command
With my work on Ultramodern Chain of Command continuing, as well as campaign in the planning, I would need to recruit some additional players. Luckily, I have a former housemate/Delaque player to recruit. Of course, recruiting a new player to game is always interesting, especially as his other tabletop experience had been entirely Games Workshop…

Battle Report: Operation Rubicon– Ultramodern Chain of Command
Well it’s finally here. After almost 6 months of pondering, mulling over ideas, hunting through forums for tidbits of a hint of shadow, we finally put figures on the table and played a game of Chain of Command in an ultramodern setting, using forces from the ChargeReal setting I’m working on. And oh boy, we…

Battle Report: Operation Carronade – Chain of Command
Two years ago, the Dastardly Regular Opponent and myself were summoned North to the home of our Creative Regular opponent to take part in Operation Chisel, a scenario written by our host and featuring four platoons in total on the board. It was a great introduction to Big Chain of Command, as well as a…

Battle Report: Bad Day in Al-Khalas – Skirmish Sangin V2
Just around a year ago, the first playtest version of Skirmish Sangin V2 was put up on the facebook group to be tested. It has taken me this long to actually sit down and get it ready to play, mostly due to finally getting my mojo back to play some Ultramoderns. With the first game…

The Empress’s Hounds – Episode 1 Game 1
If you want more information on what’s going on, as well as the story so far, don’t forget to read the introduction page. Scene 1 – Forest Clearing. Alistair Von Ferrumgard, leader of this band of Swordmasters watches stoically as his pupils form up in two groups of two and prepare for a mock duel…

The Empress’s Hounds
An advantage of moving back to Leeds was bringing me closer to friends and family which brings with it the advantage that I have a much wider base of people to see and play games with. One of which is my Sister, who runs her own blog covering her hobbies. She is not really a…

Adventures in Midgard – “Prologue”
Well it’s been quite a while – I started talking about Fantasy Skirmish way back in August 2018, with the purchase of Open Combat and the Frostgrave sprue. Fast forward almost 3 years and I FINALLY have put some fantasty figures on the table and played a game of them using Open Combat by Second…
-
Battle Report: Operation Odeysus – Spectre Operations
Well… it’s been a while since I last did these. Like literally 18 months (18 months and 19 days to be exact) since the last time I planned, wrote and played an Ultramodern game set in Bazistan. A lot has happened in that time – “losing my cool” during that last game was the sign…

Battle Report: “OPERATION CHlSEL” – Chain of Command
Christmas is the time I return home to Leeds. As well as family events, I usually end up using it to encounter my Regular Opponent and get a game of something in. This year, myself and Regular Opponent got invited up North to partake in some Chain of Command, my favourite set of WW2 rules…

Battle Report: The House On The Corner – Spectre Operations
So here we go, the direct follow on to the last game. After the events during the attempted hand over of two Aden citizens, Captain Amari and her rescuing SAS team have fallen back to an Aden External Security Agency (AESA) safehouse on the outskirts of Bazi City. The team has decided to go to…
