Here for the historical wargaming. I'm a solo wargamer, doing more periods than I can possibly do justice to, mostly in 6mm, but increasingly falling in love with 10mm too.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

This Christmas Eve, remember Ukraine.
Darkness, empty chairs, voices gone forever —
this is not fate.
So many beautiful lives were taken,
not by time,
but by Russia’s war.

There was a Black Mirror episode where the PM had to fuck a pig live on air to serve a higher interest. I'll leave it at that.

Since the world's going to buggery, if I want to do Goths vs. Sassanids, I'll jolly well do it, and to hell with the consequences

These new @baccus6mm.com Italian Wars figures are the best 6mm figures I've ever seen (and I have over 30,000 6mm figures so I'm in a position to compare). Can't wait for the Swiss to arrive this autumn.

Well this is excellent news. It seems that baccus6mm.com are the company who have acquired Magister Militum's 10mm range, and are marketing it as 10th Legion, with its own website.

The time for half measures is over. We (Europeans of all democratic nations) are going to have to tighten our belts, accept higher taxes, and dramatically strengthen our militaries. If we don't help Ukraine and defend ourselves, nobody else is about to. Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the Heroes 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Ready to begin a relight of Oudenarde 1708 with Baccus6mm.com figures and Twilight of the Sun King rules. The combatants are quite sparse to start with, but things are going to get crowded pretty quickly.

It's clear. Nigel Farage and his Reform bootlickers will never stand up for Britain if it means standing up to Donald Trump.
