[Bolt Action] Gerbil Herders reign supreme!
My Gebirgsjaeger took on Ernie’s Yanks last night at the club, using the new Bolt Action rules. I toyed with the idea of swapping out a couple of teams with my Puma, but since we were sticking with 500...

[Maurice] Part three of an occasional series: Hungarians and Artillery
Since my Maurice opponent chickened out yet again (I mean, really, how transparent an excuse is “my family are sick and I need to tend to them” eh? He might as well just have admitted that his boots...

[Maurice] Battle Report: Irregulars are a bugger to deal with
Since my campaign opponent Anthony is still too afraid to take me on, and as one of my allies was trounced last time he played and needed more practice as an attacker, I took on DaveB in a friendly...

[Longstreet] Santa’s Little Zouaves
Managed to finally get these finished off and based (well, partly anyway). These are all 10mm Pendraken Zouaves with fez, both packs (shooting and advancing). The standard bearers don’t have flags yet...

As promised, here’s the battle report for my Maurice campaign game against Anthony, which kept getting put back since my opponent came out with every excuse in the book not to have to face me. Others...

[Bolt Action] Two Batreps: Gebirgsjaeger vs Russians
Managed to get in two games against Markus last night, we’d arranged to play Bolt Action and because we got started early, we easily had time for two games, so after the first one we switched roles and...

I couldn’t stay long at the club last night, so didn’t get chance to get a game in. I watched / umpired the remaining Maurice campaign game for this round for a little while before I had to leave...

Tramp the Dirt Down
I’m not normally a fan of Elvis Costello, but this song he wrote about Thatcher really sums it up for me. On quite a few fora that I frequent, especially those with a large contingent from the UK,...

[Maurice] Part five of an occasional series: The Irregulars
Here’s the final installment of my look at my Maurice army, which also bears a very strong resemblance to my Might and Reason Austrian army. This time, I’m going to be focusing on my irregulars –...

Managed to get a Lasalle game in last night for the first time in a while, as Ernie at the club was interested in learning how to play. We made a few minor changes (we got the river battlefield, so...

[Maurice] A short game of utter destruction
I got a game in against Ernie last night, just a friendly one rather than a campaign game, but using our campaign lists. Since Ernie’s army is a little worse for wear at the moment, we decided that all...

[Impetus] A rather ahistorical match-up.
For a change of pace, I got a game of Impetus this week against my old foe Markus. We’ve not played much Impetus for a while, so this game was marked by having to flick through the rules quite a bit...
