Its a step up from Brighton &#8211; feels much more like a flat I want to be in in a city I love. As an aside, my back feels like a truck hit it so I&#8217;m looking forward to a night back in my own bed (after two weeks in a travelodge and a month+ at home with family).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/skirmishsangin.blogspot.co.uk\/2016\/04\/roamin-in-gloamin-black-watch-in.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-zzAwP8B6F_8\/VwXxBlWfc9I\/AAAAAAAAC4w\/kT7JRLEK0-8wDGM6UWphpwKeUPr-rAodg\/s1600\/cover.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"906\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY, what&#8217;s more exciting is that I appear to have gained another hat to wear (as well as games developer) that of wargames writer. Late last week, Radio DishDash put up a new free scenario on the Skirmish Sangin blog featuring a night attack by the Black Watch during Operation Panther&#8217;s Claw.\u00a0The reason I mention this, other than drawing attention to the excellent blog fillled with great articles, is that I actually wrote the scenario! I posted an untested draft version on the Skirmish Sangin forums which reccived some positive feedback. About an hour later, Colin of Radio Dishdash had sent me a mail about packaging up and releasing the scenario to the general public as one of the official scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>We had to do some quick testing and ended up tweaking the off map support rules to make it a little more reliable (while not a complete game winner) but its ended up being a nice hard fight. The night rules provide a nice twist and the support weapons distributed to both sides make it an interesting fight to play through.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the rules <a href=\"http:\/\/skirmishsangin.blogspot.co.uk\/2016\/04\/roamin-in-gloamin-black-watch-in.html\">HERE <\/a>and read an AAR report <a href=\"http:\/\/skirmishsangin.blogspot.co.uk\/2016\/04\/roamin-on-gloamin-aar.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s coming next? I&#8217;ve all ready submitted my next scenario and there is a google drive full of scenarios to finish off. There is also probably going to be some more rules stuff coming soon&#8230;watch this space!<\/p>\n<p>In terms of other stuff, I now have a fair bit of time to sit back and get painting again. And with Spectre&#8217;s Salute releases and the Day of The Rangers kickstarter coming soon, there should be lots of cool models to show off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m writing this from my new flat in Edinburgh &#8211; first night in by myself after a mad weekend of moving furniture around, going to IKEA and sorting out where I will be living for a while.
