Full Thrust – Part3 – The Opening Salvo
The first few games of Full Thrust we got in went well enough, the hidden movement orders system is great fun, and brings an almost poker-like quality to the games table. Players have to get good at second guessing their opponents moves so they can position their vessels to make […]
Carrier Taskforce – Part 2 – Painting
Inspired by Toms success with Army painter system in his Great War project, and given how deeply painful my last project (28mm fantasy) was without it, I figured it was a no-brainer decision to give it a go on these models. After some googling it looks like no one else […]
Games Weekend JUL 2009 – Anglo-Zulu War
This was the first run through of Toms 15mm Anglo-Zulu game, using the “Battles for Empire” rules set. Pics taken in either June or july 2009.

Full Thrust – Part6 – Arms Race
Full Thrust – Part1 – Herding cats in space

WW1 in 28mm
While I was sorting out the photos from the last games weekend, I stumbled over these. Some nice shots of Toms 28mm WW1 collection not specific to any game. These make a good showcase of Toms figures, as well as being good reference for anyone looking to buy figures for this period
