To the Other Partizan today, with @oldmanblakey.bsky.social. got a copy of CoC2, some scenic goodies from Ironclad miniatures, cleared out Grubby Tanks of most of his old stock of SHQ WW2 Japanese, as well as some gripping beast figs, amongst other odds and ends.

Panzer bonanza! Some support for my German troops in TFL'S 'Storming the Citadel' pint sized campaign. If they don't break down, @oldmanblakey.bsky.social might get worried, well perhaps not....

Achtung minen! Finished the minefields for the Chain of Command 'Storming the Citadel' pint sized campaign from TFL. Wee man (20mm) for scale. Now on to the teddy bear fur for the rough ground...

On Friday, I played CoC against @oldmanblakey.bsky.social, scenario 5 of the '29 let's go' campaign, 'home run at Osmanville'. Victory to the Americans, but campaign win for the Germans

The penultimate batch of Fallschirmjager complete. SHQ figures, mostly NCOs and officers. A bit shiny (I think the second coat of varnish was a bit thick).

After a 5 year wait, @oldmanblakey.bsky.social and I resumed the '29, let's go' PSC. Refight of scenario 4, the radar station at Cardonville. American win, although the Germans conceded to conserve their forces for the last battle. They've already won the campaign, delaying the Americans.

This month's wargaming reading. I've been watching James Holland's and Al Murray's 'walking the ground' videos on YouTube on Arnhem, and their'we have ways' podcasts, which inspired me to read further.

The wedding anniversary is approaching, so as a special treat for wifey I took her on some forced marches in the Peak district. Day one we walked along the Monsall trail to Monsall head.

Mostly painting the almost last batch of Falshirmjager. Also returned to the minefield project, added the wire. Used florists wire which is just the right length

At some point hoping to play 'Storming the Citadel' from too fat lardies. Picked up these at the other Partizan last year for one of the scenarios and thought I'd try putting one together this evo. (Borrowed idea from @tacticalpainter.bsky.social)

Back to some painting after the Christmas break. I think the undercoating on these are finished, time to find the right colour khaki! Rajputs from Early War Miniatures, for a future Chain of Command campaign.

Beginning minefield number 4 for Chain of Command 'Storming the Citadel'. Apparently the ruskies get 8 of these. So by my maths that means I have 4 more to do... foam board base, match stick posts, chocolate cake mix of railway scenics, aquarium stones PVA and filler powder. And brown paint.
