The next wargaming project on the horizon for the group is 6mm Napoleonic using the ‘Grande Armee’ Rules set by Sam Mustafa. There are four manufacturers of figures in the UK, Adler, Baccus, H&R and Irregular, and from what we have seen at shows, there is substantial differences in style […]

Adventures Beneath the Old World
Of all the games ever released by Games Workshop, in my opinion one has always stood head and shoulders above the rest. The rules are ambiguous and poorly tested but the concept is perfection given injection-moulded, punched-card form. Instead of taking on your mates, you team up to venture into […]

Saga – Part 05 – Game 1 – Normans Vs Anglo-Danes
Saga – Part 06 – Game 2 – Normans Vs Vikings
Match 2 – Toms Vikings vs Rich’s Normans The Game started quite late into the evening, so the picture quality isnt great. Rich attempts an encircling manoeuvre with cavalry out on both flanks, with ranged troops holding the centre. While this meets with some initial success the Norman Warlord is […]

WW2 Pacific Carrier Warfare (1:3000)
June 19th 1944, Pacific theatre. The American invasion of Saipan triggers Admiral Toyoda’s counter-attack codenamed “A-Go”, which in turn resulted was the largest* naval battle of all time. In this series of articles I will show you how I recreated both fleets (plus aircraft and supporting vessels) in order to […]

Hordes of the Things – Part 01 – From tiny acorns …
These things always have a way of starting fairly innocuously. Tom and myself were sitting around, enjoying a frosty beer after a particularly hard fought game of “Battles for Empire” (Anglo-Zulu War). To hand was a box of old magazines which I was too sentimental to recycle, mostly ‘White Dwarf’ […]
