Make two forces 😉. I’m playing a game against my son at the moment. 2 turns in. We’ll continue it tomorrow.

I think HH looks great using LI models. I use the multi-bases and dice to indicate wounds. www.farfaraway.org/blog/2025/05...

Stretch goal for #wssadvent24: some 60th Rifles. I doubt I’ll finish them this side of Christmas, but hopefully soon afterwards.

Some Warhammer 40,000 mayhem with Ciarán earlier. My tide of Orks swarmed over the objectives and into the Necrons. Their reanimation shenanigans held the Orks at bay. Warboss Gorklaw was laid low by Zan-tep the Cruel, Ciarán’s Hexmark Destroyer. The Orks claimed victory in the end!

Calling these done (bar basing). A painting chat with @redmanphill.bsky.social made the last few steps go quickly. #wssadvent24

Thanks. Your post inspired me to make a start. I like to start with the wood on the muskets as the next step is flesh and hands often wrap around it. Flesh next!

I have some Perry British Peninsular infantry on my desk. They’re destined to join my other 88th Connaught Rangers. I’ll work on them for #wssadvent24.

Salem Witch Trials, AI-generated Instagram posts, and misinformation... sound intriguing? Are you 12-18 years old (or have one nearby!)? If so, please have a look at this short survey which is part of my daughter’s BT Young Scientist project: scsstcd.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Thanks!

Excellent game of Battlegroup with my 13yo son earlier. It’s an great ruleset: a nice balance of historic flavour and a fun gaming experience. Today’s game was a Platoon level game (400pts) representing combat in Normandy around the time of Operation Cobra.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Squigmas!

Great Battle of the Bulge game set near Clervaux on the 17th Recember ‘44 against @stiubhart.bsky.social last night. The Americans put up a dogged defence stalling the advance of von Böhm’s reconnaissance kampfgruppe. Suppressing key units was the secret to the American success. #battlegroup
