An old guy who grumbles whilst playing with miniatures. Interested in wargames, RPGs, EU4 and HOI4. Never fight a war without a Casus Belli. Views are my own.
Good result, but we're not here to win painting competitions but defeat the naked plastic syndrome, so all is well. 🙂

A long time ago there was a game called Gorkamorka. Very reminiscent. 🙂

Nice paint job

I know it's not the same and somewhat more fiddly, but there is Discord

It's so easy to just get a few more 😂🤣

Yeah, the ignorance of being too young to appreciate.

I'll see how I go. My Irregular minis need a little sorting 🙂

I think I'll have a look and see what its like. Need to get the war elephants and cataphracts up and running 🙂

I'll try to keep that in mind 🙂

Thanks. I will have a search! 🙂

We never appreciate the history till long after. I recall visiting Rome when I was 18 and not really looking at anything. 😂

Normandy is on my list of places to visit too 🙂

I found many disregard 2mm as one step above a counter, but I don't agree. I do have some Sassanians and some Romans I need to get based. I'm a returning gamer from the 90's so have been out of the loop a while. But the appeal of a mass battle on a small footprint has its advantages. 🙂

I've heard of those, but not played them. Are they like DBA?

Eventually I'll get 12 elements in some sort of order. I like cavalry but loathe painting them 😂

Sometimes you get weeks like that. I managed to put a bit of paint on some Byzantines today I've been trying to get up and running for ages.

Which rule set are you using?

And to any American who goes ‘oh but you brought it upon yourself by free-riding on our defense spending’ - the one time Art.5 got invoked was by the US and NATO and many others stepped up. So please GFY.
