    Initial Impressions: Walled Ambassador’s Residence Set

    As a modern wargamer bogged down in endless tiny conflicts in the Middle East, it can occasionally be difficult to find suitable buildings to fight through. Many I’ve covered here, but otherwise, you’re stuck picking up a whole host of generic adobes that don’t quite have the same feeling as the built-up and developed areas of key cities in the MENA region. One key element of the more well-to-do areas in many of these places are walled compounds, either around public buildings and richer families. Differing from the adobe walls of the rural region (mostly through the visual side), these…

  • Wargaming Week 16/12/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 9th through to the 15th of December. Blog Stuff I am partway through writing up my initial impressions of the Ambassador’s Compound I showed off last week, mostly trying to get into details so everyone reading can know how best to pick it up and expand it. It’s a really cool set and I really want to get into detail on just what you can do with it. Also, I was busy packing up for Christmas Break that started this week. But it will be done soon! NEWS First up, Empress dropped 4…

  • Wargaming Week 09/12/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 2nd through to the 8th of December. NEWS View this post on Instagram New African Militia, fresh from the casters #spectreminiatures #spectreoperations #tabletopgames #wargaming #ultramodern A post shared by Spectre (@spectreminiatures) on Dec 5, 2019 at 4:45am PST News this week out of Spectre – we have new African Militia on the way! As we saw in the greens a few weeks ago, there are two styles of African militia coming – some that look like an expansion to the existing range (with the sunglasses and street clothes) and other with a more…

  • Wargaming Week 02/12/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 25th of November through to the 1st of December. I’m writing this with a cold that’s making my head a bit fluffy so apologies for any mistakes. NEWS View this post on Instagram Yeah, I’m thinking I’m back. #spectreminiatures #spectreoperations #tabletopgames #modernwargaming #modernminiatures #ultramodern #modernwarfare #moderntabletop A post shared by Spectre (@spectreminiatures) on Nov 26, 2019 at 2:56am PST This week is Spectre news central. First up, a little hint of what’s coming soon and… it’s more John Wick. I’ll admit, not exactly what I’ve been expecting but they did list the first…

  • Wargaming Week 25/11/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 18th through to the 24th of November. NEWS Table Top Tactical Simulations has announced an upcoming project. It looks like we are finally getting some Russian soft-skins, with the arrival of some Ural trucks. As with all the TTTS stuff, it looks like some really great quality products – just a shame it’s in 1/56 so looks like a toy compared to my Spectre stuff. PURCHASES Well my order from North Star arrived… and then I realised I needed some bases for them. I might have also picked up a few other pieces…

  • Wargaming Week 19/11/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 11th through to the 19th of November. (Yep, day later than planned things are pretty busy right now) NEWS Big news of the week – Contact Front is out! Available either in physical or digital formats, this new ruleset is focused on platoon level conflicts in ultramodern environments, with the first book focusing on actions in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2006. I’ve had a little read of it and I’m very excited to take a deeper look. Not 100% when I will get it on the table but my thoughts are coming soon.…

  • Wargaming Week 11/11/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 4th through to the 10th of November. NEWS White Dragon is showing off more of its upcoming support weapons, this time the UK forces and their Automatic Grenade Launcher. Perfect for long-range fire support, the sculpting on this weapon is up to White Dragon’s standard. Contact Front is also en route, with a set of posts starting to take a look at it. The army list post is especially interesting – it sounds quite similar to Chain of Command and can’t wait to dig into it deeply. PURCHASES Nothing this week – I…

    Wargaming Week 04/11/2019

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 28th of October through to the 3rd of November. NEWS First up, God’s Eye Games has announced that Contact Front is at the printers. I’m really excited about this set – it seems like a game truly focused on the setting, themeing its rules around the theme deeply. There is definitely a place for a generic set of rules, but seeing stuff go more in-depth can produce some very exciting rules that really fire the imagination. I’ll be keeping my eye open for when they release, and take a good look at them…
