  • Wargaming Week 04/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 28th of August through to the 3rd of September. BLOG STUFF Two actual posts this week – a look at Empress’s releases and a battle report from Thursday’s game. Both posts were great fun to work on – the rush to speed paint figures in time for a deadline and then the…

  • Battle Report: “The Welcome Party” – Spectre Operations

    Having been asked last week to plan a game, I sat back and had a careful think about what might be an exciting scenario to get my opponent’s figures on the table. Some sort of escort mission maybe but what to protect? As my eyes wandered across the various modern wargaming Facebook groups I settled…

  • Impressions: Empress August Releases

    Empress did a rather cool thing back in July and put out a list of things they planned to release. When I first saw it, I assumed we would see them dribbled out over a period of months. Empress instead dropped them all at once, leading to a rather exciting day watching the Empress Facebook…

  • Skirmish Sangin – Plausible Deniability

    Emergency post! You’re getting a post tomorrow but just been given the go ahead to talk about something cool. Radio Dishdash has just announced the next Skirmish Sangin book entitled Plausible Deniability. Focusing on Special Operations, this book will have all sorts of stuff in it to expand Skirmish Sangin. In addition some preview images…

  • Wargaming Week 28/08/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 21st of August through to the 27th of August. BLOG STUFF Battle report week! It wasn’t quite the game I was planning when I wrote out the scenario but it still ended up being great fun. It was also an exercise in speed writing as I managed to have the report…

  • Battle Report: “Big Dave Must Die!” – Spectre Operations

    Sometimes, pre-planning games don’t always go according to plan. On Monday, the game was a 7 person multiplayer game on a massive 6×8 table where every side had designs on Big Dave (mostly killing him). On Wednesday I had changed the sides. On Thursday morning, it was now going to be a much smaller game.…

  • Wargaming Week 21/08/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 14th of August through to the 20th of August. BLOG STUFF Last week was the first of the two post weeks! It ended up working quite well, with Wednesday’s post covered the MENA releases and Friday’s post covered the new SF Technicals. I was wanting to paint the vehicles up but…

  • Impressions: Spectre SF Technicals – Initial Thoughts

    Earlier this year, I wrote a load of stuff covering Spectre’s first vehicle release for the technical. In it, I commented about miniguns which was a stretch goal from the Kickstarter that was sadly missed, as well as the illusive “Tactical Technical”. Well, it looks like it was merely being sneaky and it is now…

  • Impressions: Spectre July 2017 Release

    The end of July saw a new release to expand Spectre’s MENA Militia range. These new figures are designed to give your militia a bit of an edge, either by adding some tougher guys or bringing some new gear to the party. If you’re building a militia force, these fighters are a must buy. Militia…

  • Wargaming Week 14/08/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 7th of August through to the 13th of August. BLOG STUFF A scenario went up! It’s a little different from my usual posts but it’s something that I’ve been wanting to finish for a while. Also the release of Free Fire meant it was the perfect time to release it. I’m also…

  • Scenario: Warehouse Shoot Out

    The start of this week saw the release of the film Free Fire on Blu-Ray and DVD in the UK. Set in the 1970’s, it’s an incredibly tense film all set in one location as an arms deal goes incredibly wrong. The film is packed full of twists and turns and well worth a watch.…

  • Wargaming Week 07/08/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 31st of July through to the 6th of August. BLOG STUFF My post(s) about my weekend in Cardiff playing Spectre went up. I wrote a total of 5 posts last week as part of it so around 5000+ words, had to install about 4 plugins to hide the battle reports and not…

  • Spectre Operations Weekend 2017 AAR

    I’ll admit, when they announced that Spectre were running a gaming weekend in Cardiff I had tons of questions. What was it going to be like? What figures did I need to bring? Were the other Spectre players going to turn out to be tournament mad points fans? Would I find somewhere sensible to stay?…
