Xmas WW2 game

Every year my friend Mark Temple puts on a couple of days of WW2 skirmish games. These are well organised and highly enjoyable. Its almost a Christmas "must do" each year which my son Oliver looks forward to as he has a great WW2 collection in 28mm and loves gaming the period. This year the Americans can on with a recon force which to Marks delight got into all sorts of trouble with a German 37mm A/T gun. Although out number and with limited reinforcements the Germans actually came out on top. Its played with all 28mm figures using our own in house rules which play quite well for skirmish type games.

Latest Projects

Well its been a fair while since i have last posted and there has been lots happening with alot of new products and bits and pieces. My new years resolution is to up date my blog alot more regularly so this is the first step. Below are a couple of pictures of some of the new Victorix figures that we currently have in stock painted by my son Oliver who is without doubt getting to be one of the best painters i have seen around my neck of the woods. Unfortunately the photos do not do justice but it gives you an idea. The Spanish Napoleonic artillery gun and crew was painted by yours truly using the Army Painter Quick shade system which i think turned out quite nicely, i have not completed the basing as i wanted to get the pictures on here. Victorix Figures are currently selling for the introductory price of $44.00/box. If your interested drop me an e-mail.

One for the Republic

Last weekend Scott, my son James and myself played a Republican Roman V Turkish Allied army game. It was the first outing for my newly purchased Romans (thanks Scott) and their first victory under their new command. We played the game at Scotts place using his excellent desert terrain and the War Hammer ancient rules. It was a great day of Wine, Beer and victory enjoyed by all and one which i hope we will play again soon. The objective was to capture the enemy's camp or force a retreat. The Allied army come out of the town to meet the Romans and although superior in Cavalry did not have enough quality troops to win the day especially when their best infantry unit turned and fled back to the town without laying a blow.

War Hammer Great War

About a month or so ago Scott Robertson, Mark Piper, James Jowett, and myself decided to have a early War ww1 Game here at my place. Both Scott and myself have played the War Hammer Great War rules a few times now and have both agreed that they are a simple and enjoyable set of rules for this period. At present we are limited in the size of engagements due to troop numbers but both of us are going to work on increasing the troop numbers. I have started an early war French battallion and Scott has ordered quite alot of Austrians and already has a great number of Russians for this period. I have included some photos of the game which i hope looks ok.

Army Painter

Hello All,

I didn't realise it has been so long since i last posted. I guess time flies when your having fun. Since my last post we have now received a full shippment of Army Painter products. These products as i am sure most of you are aware include the quick shade wash in soft, strong & dark tones. It has been used to great effect by not only myself but several friends of mine and it certainly takes alot of the work out of painting and shading figures if you want an army in a hurry. We will have the full range at MOAB 08 this year so if you down for it drop over and see us for a demo.
