Lo behold, Moses Braithwaite came down from Ilkley Moor with a tablet containing the law, 10 were written down before the battery ran out, here is the eleventh. And get your eyes off my goat 🐐 😎

Second two archers are now painted! I'll have the last painted tomorrow so I can take a unit pic. Archer and a whole bunch of other undead are currently on KS, check out the campaign and see what takes your fancy! www.kickstarter.com/projects/die... #timprow #diehardminiatures #oldhammer

Played a Sharp Practice 2 game today. Portuguese v French somewhere in Spain.
Ran out of time to complete but it could’ve gone either way if we carried on.
Good fun and good company with a rather nice pub lunch in between 😁

While finishing off random miniatures from the shelf that've been sitting there for longer than a year, I primed and painted this Kiwi MG team for my 2NZ Division force in a couple hours.
It'd be nice to have it painted better, but it's better painted! 😂 I know what I'm about.

Started putting the metal down on my dwarf swordsmen. It’s by far the biggest color, so hopefully it’s all downhill after this. The color is AK Quickgen Cold Steel.

Playing Battle Masters with grandson.
My flanking move with chaos knights and wolf riders had early success.
But a late run of cards (and gentle tactical advice) resulted in Imperial knights smashing my right and center.

Big Chain of Command 2. Mauban 1941. The Japanese are stalling with the SNLF pinned on the sea wall. Imperial Army forces are trying to force the centre but losses are accruing. The Filipino's are holding easily.

Currently playing Men of Company B by Peter Pig. My first try of the game and really enjoying the mechanics. Am playing solo and to be honest am not sure who is winning but suspect the VC are.

Painted some 6mm Baccus French Napoleonic Foot Artillery.
3 guns and limbers, the guns are detached into their own base when unlimbered, and a 'blank' fills the space on the limber base.
I'm probably going to add caissons or battery guard to these blanks in the future.

I’ll be running four Chain of Command games in the Lard Zone at CanCon in Canberra in January. If you fancy some gritty, late-war urban combat on a 20mm table, this might be of interest.

New buildings for Germany and the eastern front. Tinkering, as usual, with a few Sarissa 20mm MDF buildings. Two German farms and barns and two of the Russian townhouses. Planning on playing the CoC campaign Westwind Konigsberg. Did it with Normandy buildings the first time. #spreadthelard

Chindits! A last gasp victory for the Brits, escaping from the IJA, exiting North. The price was high & good men were left behind. Game 2 will be the pursuit of the Brits by the IJA. Using the SharpEnd, we will bring wounded back to the line. The IJA get more support. #spreadthelard #wargames
