  • Additional Rules: Razor In Other Games

    Spectre have released their Razor model and alongside it brought out some rather cool rules to include it in their Spectre Operations game. The Razor has a few key characteristics that separate it from other vehicles. These are High speed even over rough terrain Small size, light weight and lacking in armour Carrying capacity Weapon…

  • Weekend Warfare 3 – INTEL01 “Thieves in the Night”

    Part 3 of Weekend Warfare steps away from the adventures of CGS (don’t worry, more reports are coming soon following those lunatics). Instead we look at a side story, based on events that took place in Bazistan before Commando Global Solutions arrived. These stories are based off Intel requested by officers in the company Argo…

  • Weekend Warfare 2 – CGS S01E02

    Part two of my attempt to play more wargames returns us to Skirmish Sangin, with a few new house rules this time. While the last mission was all out action against an inferior foe, this one sees a small team attempting to recon a warehouse currently being used as a base for a shifty corporation…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Part 2 – Further Planning and Physical Things

    So since last time, I’ve done a few things to getย 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…

  • Battle Report: Skirmish Sangin 09/02/2017

  • Technical Notes: A Primer

    Intro With the recent release of Spectre’s comprehensive range of Technicals and weapon systems, it’s never been a better time to be a militia warlord on the tabletop. This primer is designed to fill you in on these increasingly common vehicles and their role on the tabletop. I’ll cover some tactics for using them, some…

  • Testing Report: Skirmish Sangin 08/09/2016

    The last few reports I wrote were done in a narrative fashion. I’m not abandoning that format, but as this is a special game I’m going back to a more descriptive style. Rather than using a pre-made scenario, I instead decided to spring on them a brand new, beta version of a scenario I had…

  • Battle Report: Skirmish Sangin 21/07/2016

    Seeing as people liked the last game, here is the followup. I’m forming a rough campaign taking the results of the last game and bringing it forward. I played this at SESWCย using a tweaked version of the Compound 17 scenario from the rulebook.ย  48 hours earlier… “Round of applause for Team 2 everyone” joked the…

  • Afghan Civilians

    I showed a few of these figures off in my last painting bench post but I now have a few more done, about half way through them all. Its slow going as I’m approachingย each figure individually while still using a similarย colour palette to make them fit together aesthetically. Exception being one of the footballers in…

  • Battle Report: Skirmish Sangin: 21/06/2016

    Skirmish Sangin is all about the narrative and so I want to try writing some narrative reports for it. This is from a game I playedย at SESWC using the trusty Route Clearanceย scenario, although replacing the SEALs with SAS troopers thanks to Empress’s new releases. EDIT: Picturesย at the bottom of the article. Night, and the lights…

  • AAR: Street Fight

    This is a repost of an AAR I did on the now defunct Skirmish Sangin forum. It was one of the first Skirmish Sangin games I played and I want to preserve it.

  • Skirmish Sangin: Downtown Ambush

    Sadly, I didn’t take many pictures because we were too busy playingย (and covering the table with paper) but I played my first game of Skirmish Sangin with one of the Brighton Warlords guys. Tonight’s game saw the my British go up against hisย group of insurgents. Because of the models we had, we decided to play…
