Yesterday's second game at #Historicon was refighting Jaffa, 1192.
Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub was much pleased to see Richard Lionheart dragged from his horse and captured. Despite a late-game arrival of some Knights Templars, the Ayyubid forces overwhelmed the Crusader right flank.

Well that's all the B-17s done for my Big Week project.
Hopefully the fighters (being 1/4 the size of a bomber) should take less time to paint.

Played another game of Bingfa this past weekend. The States of Chu and Han clashed, with the Han outnumbered 2:1 by Chu infantry.

And a little more work done to finish a pair of 25mm anti-tank guns for my 15mm French project.
