Hey All, Before I place an order with retailers just checking if anyone has any 28mm 1940 French Figures/Equipment they want to ‘move on’. Prefer unpainted but happy to consider painted. Mainly interested in; Rifle/carbine armed infantry Hotchkiss MG with crew VB team Light tanks But would consider ...

Yes still catching up on AARs! This fortnight we revisited Sixty-One Sixty-Five again, that's three sessions in a row! Its the 2nd scenario in the rules and has the CSA on the attack. Everything started well for the Confederates rapidly advancing and occupying the buildings while the Federal units a...

Well Dave and I liked the Sixty-One Sixty-Five Rules so we played them again this fortnight and Al joined in! We replayed Scenario 1 from the rule book with the rules clarifications from our first play at hand from the Ganesha team! The game featured a skirmish between the 7th New York Infantry Regi...

Big Squad ! Good looking force.

I have a friend who wants to do CoC with Japs and USMC forces I’ll look forward to an AAR from you it might inspire him (I’m not a Bot Action Player but still love good figures in an AAR)...

Time for some ACW Skirmish action so Dave and I hit the gaming table with the Sixty-One Sixty-Five rules! It was our first use of them but we've played games from the Song of... series so we were up to speed with these in no time!We played Scenario One from the Rules. A smaller Confederate force wit...

Thanks for posting Tas...cheers!

Hey Bruns!

Thanks and WELCOME aboard! Please let us know your gaming interests...

Cheers

We were after a game for this fortnight so I visited the ‘oldmeldrumwargamesgroup’ site and seconded one of Ross’s fine scenarios for Blucher,I picked the Battle of Alexandria. I cobbled together a tabletop, using an off white sheet, my river section to represent the coastline, some felt for a lake,...

Hey Easy thanks! I’m going to build 1 more ATR and 2 more HMGs they didn’t take long to make and zippo cost. Then may try a Russian wheeled Maxim for the Communist/Union faction, the Soviet advisors may have brought some with them! Will have an AAR up soon featuring these shortly from Monday nights ...

Hi All! Needed some civilian manned ATR and HMGs for The Great Antipodean Adventure so came up with these simple markers that can be placed with existing figures... No Paint... https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lLnZTKgseV8/W3FEixEV_WI/AAAAAAAABkU/BzC0BRerdz03YK5QjNstTjtoDq_R72XGACLcBGAs/s320/ATR%2BHMG%2B4....

Nice figures, pity they aren’t 1/56...

Ooops typo! SORRY!

Thanks DP!

Hey Ken,

Are these the same scale as the M5's? is that 1/144?

Cheers!

January 1877 and Doktor Von Hades was 'feeling the heat' as the forces of good closed in on him! After his aborted LASER deployment he was on the run and Captain Darling was hounding him. He was so harassed by his pursuers that he was finding it difficult to have morning tea on the roof of his Secre...

Well we revisited TW&T again this fortnight using a scenario I found online. This is the second game of TW&T for our group but I have a couple of extra games up my sleeve. We wanted to really test the rules out. July 1944 an Allied offensive around Caen has splintered the German defences. The Britis...

Hey DB,

I've never seen Open Combat I'll look them up on the weekend, I will use song... for small ACW skirmishes and Smooth and Rifled for larger games.

Cheers!

Hi, For the price nice. So what scale are these? Look around just over 3cm for a 4.8m tank so 1/144? Those layer lines irk me, see the front plate and sides especially but being a modeller not just a gamer that could be it. Can you set the printer to make more thinner layers (longer print time I sup...

Belgium, June 18 1880... Troubled and flustered Lieutenant Cartwright hollered over the din of gunfire to Captain Darling, "Darling the Marconi Wireless set is on the blink again! How can we summon reinforcements?" Darling replied calmly while engaging in sword play with two rather brutish looking I...

Hey Tas,

So Black Powder...just downloaded the base set of those from Warlords website for free I'll check them out!

Cheers!

Okay a quick web search...see the last line...gonna get this fired up quick smartish! http://www.ganeshagames.net/product_info.php?cPath=1_18&products_id=57 ‘61-‘65 ACW RULES (PRINTED BOOK) ‘61-‘65 is a fast play, Company-level American Civil War game based on the popular Song of Blades mechanics. P...

Hey Dropbear I don’t think any one set of rules suits everyone’s tastes. I do like these just wish someone would do an ACW version, there’s already Song of Blades...and Song of Tomahawks...

Thanks Guys!

Cyrus sorry I haven't played Sharps Practice so can't compare them. From what I have read Sharps could let you play a bigger game but one of the reasons I've never tried them for up to about 20 -30 figures a side (which I doubt I'd exceed) Song of Drums is great!

Nice Andy.

Not often you see PzIV F/G in grey, the HQ is cool!

I’ve said it before no Facebook for me!

Blucher Battle of Piave game set up and ready to go for tomorrow night...


AAR to follow!
