At Partizan tomorrow, alongside the main game, I've got a little 10-minute tactical conundrum for those of you who've seen Écorcheurs! already.
A small retinue of men-at-arms & archers caught on the edge of a farm by a lance of French horsemen... what will happen?

Had some friends over the other day, put up the 6'x8'table in the bottom barn, and got the big battalions out again.
It was glorious.

With the success of the Écorcheurs! Kickstarter (what do you mean you haven't pledged yet? www.kickstarter.com/projects/gri... - go, on. I'll wait.) I'm definitely cracking on with my 1st St Albans campaign expansion. @sabotag3d.bsky.social printed this gorgeous clock tower, a centrepiece.

The Écorcheurs! Kickstarter has already funded!
I'm astounded and very grateful.
It's still worth backing; only Kickstarter backers get the 'Combat of the Thirty' scenario. #ecorcheurs #medievalwargaming #wargaming

The campaign in Écorcheurs! is inspired by Edward III's Crécy campaign, focused on the English search for a crossing of the Somme, with series of skirmishes to control a vital bridge.
This is warfare at the retinue level: brutal, tactical, & personal.

Finished Sarissa's timber-framed Tavern. Not the easiest build, and feels slightly pokey for all its size, but looks great.

A great and simple painting guide for vehicles from the machine that is @lordraglan.bsky.social
Raglan‘s quick and easy approach to painting modern Russian MBTs. Stage 1: undercoat with a black spray followed by a dark green to provide a solid base. Vary the green colour, because not all vehicles will be painted at the same time and therefore you are already introducing a “campaign“ feel👌

Followers of the development of #ecorcheurs have been very patient. There have been a number of last minute design changes, all for the better, I have to say.
One of them was a new cover, putting the title of the rules at the top so they can be seen when stacked on a trade stand! #wargaming
