Let\u2019s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 29th of October through to the 4th of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEWS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blotz has released a new bit of terrain – a submarine!<\/a> I do like the fact this is modular kit, letting you set it up as appropriate for your time period with a mix of missle hatches, deck guns and deck pieces. A more modern alternative conning tower would be a neat addition for those people wanting something to deploy their Navy SEALs in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want one of your own, find it on the Blotz store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ultracombat kickstarter rolls on so it’s time to talk about it. First up, the disclaimer. I have worked with Dishdash on the last Skirmish Sangin book but I have not been involved with any work on this ruleset<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the cool thing we have seen this week is a preview of how the rules work, showing a small Russian and American force encountering each other in Donetsk<\/a>. For anyone who has played Skirmish Sangin, a lot of these concepts (and the presentation style) are going to seem familiar – for example, the humble AP has returned. However, the focus on elements over individuals has shifted the game as well as the change from the D100 to the D20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first document has me really excited and I am looking forward to having the excuse to get some platoons on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PURCHASES<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Nothing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay almost nothing – I backed the Ultracombat Kickstarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOBBY<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spectre’s latest order arrived earlier. Although I haven’t managed to assemble most of it, I did have to put together one of the pair of Talon Robots. I really love these guys and getting the first one together was quite fun! The only downside was I managed to snap the barrel off the 240 and had to reglue it. I also managed to add the usual rare earth magnets to hold the turret on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bulk of the order was, of course, Spectre’s BMP1. And now that I have it in my hand, I am tempted to go back and order a few more. The quality on this is great, lots of detail. Wyrmalla managed to get his writeup done real sharpish and most of his opinions match up with mine. Maybe I need to come out of my break a little early and get mine painted up once I’ve done the clean up on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m slowly getting back into painting with the Aussies. I managed to actually get to use my Broken Toad brush for the first time. It’s a nice breath of fresh air compared to the junk I’ve been using as a paint applicator for the last few months. Expect more when I actually get the figures finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
