  • Salute 2017 (and other things in London)

    In case you missed the barrage of references to it on this blog, Facebook, Twitter etc, I spent this weekend down in old London Town to attend Salute, the UK’s biggest wargames show. I first attended when I was still in Brighton (back in 2015) and so it was a day trip (assuming the trains…

    Thursday’s battle at the club took us back to Spectre Operations and once more deployed to Bazistan. Wanting to get more horde of technicals on the table, what better opponent than heavy metal itself, the Challenger 2. 2 days after NATO intervention in Bazistan. US and British forces are currently pushing towards Bazi city, engaging…

  • Comparing MDF Adobe Buildings

    It’s not long after most people start wargaming that they start looking at the surface they are fighting over and think bigger. For those of us not wanting to scratch build, the rise of laser cutters and cheap MDF has lead to an explosion of manufacturers making some high quality buildings. This makes it very…

  • Weekend Warfare 1 – CGS S01E01

    As a way of playing more wargames and testing out out a few rules I’ve been writing, I’m instituting a weekend wargaming session.

    As mentioned in my previous post on the Spectre technicals, I hadn’t picked up all the weapons. As part of my cartel order, I put on two more weapons ready to give the bad guys something else to handle my Challenger 2 or other armoured vehicles. The common thing between these two is the base.…

    So since last time, I’ve done a few things to get ready for building the demo board I have planned out. Emails have been sent out to get the ball rolling on actually booking space to run the game at two shows. It might be a little early for some but better early than late. Continued…
