Adventures in Wargaming

  • Technicals – Improvised Weapon Systems

    While writing Friday’s post I realised, except for a brief mention, I haven’t actually talked about some of the wierder weapons available from Spectre and how I had assembled them ready for hot-swapping into the technicals. Seeing as they don’t fit into either of the themes of the next two posts, and as a midweek…

  • Wargaming Week 21/05/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 14th through to the 21st of May. BLOG STUFF Last week’s post was kicking off a new project! B-Town is going to be packed full of me finally getting my MDF finished off and ready for the tabletop as well as lots of opportunities to try out new things.…

  • Project: B-Town – Part 1: More Impressions and Project Begins

    It’s time for a new project! With the completion of Operation Dragon’s Hoard, my scenery projects have run dry (and less full of downed planes and dust). However, that doesn’t mean my terrain collection is all good to go. Since I started wargaming, I’ve slowly been collecting more and more MDF, all ready for a…

  • Wargaming Week 14/05/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 7th through to the 13th. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was taking a look at Spectre’s MENA Regulars. I always find this style of figure really useful when designing scenarios (especially when wanting a change from hordes of insurgents). I’m every excited to see what comes next in this…

  • Impressions: Spectre MENA Regulars

    It’s safe to say that most ultramodern games will probably end up with high tech Western forces up against irregulars. However, sometimes you’ll need some more uniform looking MENA forces to either act as the OPFOR or to act the role of the locals being advised or assisted. At Salute, Spectre released their first wave…

  • Wargaming Week 07/05/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 30th of April through to the 6th of May. BLOG STUFF Last week was a two post week – Wednesday was taking pictures of Hammerhead 2018 while Friday was the last post for Operation Dragon’s Hoard. As I say in the post, it’s been real fun to run the…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: The Final Run and Post Mortem

    This post should have been appearing back in March. However, General Winter came a calling and the final run of Operation Dragon’s Hoard was delayed due to the show being cancelled after an unexpected amount of snow. In my last post on Operation Dragon’s Hoard, I covered some major tweaks I’d made to the plane…

  • Hammerhead 2018

    Okay, so I may have said I was not doing a Wednesday post, but while writing the Operation Dragon’s Hoard focused article I realised that it was turning into a bit of a monster by combining show report and post mortem. Instead, I’ve brought forward the post with all the pictures to today! So here’s…

  • Wargaming Week 30/04/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 22nd through to the 29th of April. BLOG STUFF This week I finally finished off my Spectre Barricades. These have been sat on my workbench for way too long. I’m planning to try and finish off the taller barricades as well so expect to see them soon! In terms…

  • Spectre Jersey Barriers

    If there is one thing any gamer knows, every battlefield should be littered a number of chest high walls perfect for hiding behind and funnelling enemies into killzones.. While thinking about balancing out my demo game and looking through my list of unassembled projects, I realised that I could kill two birds with one stone…

  • Wargaming Week 23/04/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 16th through to the 22nd of April. BLOG STUFF Another two post week. Wednesday’s post was recapping Salute complete with the usual pile of pictures – as you might guess, it’s done pretty well in terms of views. Friday’s update then looked at Osprey’s latest book as part…

  • Impressions: Osprey New Vanguard Technical

    The historical wargaming hobby has many aspects to it for people to enjoy. One of the aspects I particularly like is learning the period as it’s a great way to learn tactics, be inspired for scenarios and find references for paint schemes. When looking for information, one of my favourite places to start is Osprey…

  • Salute 2018 Trip Report

    Salute is the largest wargames show in the UK and, for me, a chance to visit London, see the sights, catch up with other wargamers and then escape within 24(ish) hours with a bag full of lead and future plans made. Since going to my first in 2015 as I rejoined the hobby, I’ve eagerly…

  • Wargaming Week 16/04/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 9th through to the 15th of April. BLOG STUFF Last week’s post was looking at Warlord Games’s Project Z Spec Ops box. These guys had to be looked at as they are a unique set amongst the primarily metal and resin alternatives. Overall I wasn’t that impressed but I…

  • Impressions: Project Z Spec Ops

    As a rule, most modern wargaming figures are either metal or resin. Due to the relative niche amount of interest in ultramodern wargaming, it’s never really made financial sense to release plastic multi-part kits. There is however one place where a modern wargamer may find some suitable figures. Of course, it’s inside the subject matter…
