Mike texted the gaming group on Sunday around noon with the terrible news of Wayne's passing. Wayne has been a gaming and friend fixture for five years around here. I knew he had some health problems but nothing life-threatening. He was jus…
I've been busy knocking out some more models and minis recently. I completed four more Saxon fighters to help protect the village, some 28mm fantasy orcs and a couple of 3d printed 1/72 scale Soviet AFVs.Tooting their own horns... 40mm Sash…
It's been a minute. Life's been busy and there hasn't been a tremendous amount to report on but now there is. Since reclaiming my painting area, I've been able to make solid progress on my latest unusual project. I started buying these mode…
Zig and I got together last Saturday for a first go at Trench Crusade. If you're not familiar it's the very grim, very dark alt-history game set in the WW1 time frame. The back story is that crusaders did some dumb stuff back during the Cru…
Mark and I got together on Saturday afternoon to let the 1/72 toys out for a spin. I set up a very simple "capture the crossroads" scenario and put together two force lists from my Soviet and German collections using the excellent Rate of F…
Mark, Wayne and I got together at Roll the Bones game store in Savannah on Sunday afternoon for a game of Shakedown, my modern What A Cowboy variant. I put the scenario together earlier in the week and came up with the following.The guys ru…
I finished up the second lot of Wargames Atlantic Lizardmen this morning. This group is armed with some very 19th century-style firearms and should make for a neat Sci-Fi or Pulp force. Other than the weapons, I did everything the same as I…
I was digging around in the garage a couple weeks ago looking for something or other when I stumbled upon some rather old neglected GW Space Marine miniatures from I'd guess the early 1990s. Eighteen beautiful metal sculpts in need of some
It's been close to year since the last game, but Zig and I broke out the Dystopian Wars toys on Saturday. We decided on a land battle and because they've haven't gotten any play time in recent memory, I used my Prussian forces. Ziggy brough…
I picked up a box of Wargames Atlantic 28mm Lizardmen a week or so ago for a "change of pace" painting project. I figured they'd be fine multi-purpose model for Pulp or Fantasy gaming. Like all other WGA plastic kits I've worked with, the s…
David, Ziggy and I got together for some CY6 for a first game of the year on Saturday afternoon. We played up at Roll the Bones game store in Savannah. This was to be the first real test of my new flight stands that I put together a few mon…
I picked up Nightwatch very early Tuesday morning during a major software upgrade at work. In all fairness, we were waiting for a backup to complete and 1:00AM has a funny way of encouraging impulse buys. Nightwatch is a cooperative fantasy…
