Shelly Beach, looking across to Manly, a perfect summer day @Toofatlardies

Day 3 of Cancon 2025 is done. Played the Gauls in a game of Sambrw using Strength and Honour. Sandwiched between 2 Roman armies, I managed to pull off a draw by defeating 1 Roman army. Not too many pictures this time I'm afraid. That's it for Cancon2025. #spreadthelard

Day 2 Cancon 2025, Sharp Practice ECW, from Lard Magazine 2022, a bloody scenario of Royalists v Parliament. Lots of melee, a bit of push of pike, and cavalry action. Great fun was had by all! #spreadthelard #Cancon2025

Day 2 of Cancon 2025. Sharp Practice 2, HMS Pickle and the lighthouse, a Napoleonic raid. A landing party of British Jack tars land to assault lighthouse garrison on an un-named island. They are bloodily driven off, despite having the support of the Pickle #spreadthelard #Cancon2025

Day 1 of CanCon2025, Dux Britannirium, a Saxon raiding party move to sack a church and an orchard, the local british lord racing to defend them. Sadly it did not end well for the Brits! #spreadthelard

Day 1 of Cancon 2025. Cav make their way up a jungle dirt road, a napalm strike to their right. The going is slow as they watch for a NVA ambush. Up a head, a SEAL team is dropped in the jungle, as a brown water navy group attack from the other flank. #Cancon2025 #spreadthelard

Boxing day cricket - not the MCG, waiting to start

@oldwargamer.bsky.social Don't know what it's like in SA at the moment Steve, but in Sydney it's Cicada season, and to quote Zulu, 'Black Princes, thousands of 'em.. '

#Cancon2024 Day 3, CoC Ancients-Medieval, final Condottieri campaign game, Milan v Venice. Very tight finish, the middle and left flank of the Venetians held, but the right was rolled up. Who knows what would have happened if the game had continued!? #spreadthelard

Infamy, Infamy at #Cancon2024, Roman legionaries v the Britons, a close run thing. Great fun! #spreadthelard

Charlie Don't Surf at #Cancon2024, Air Cav v VC. A very hot LZ, with 2 Hueys going down , multiple being driven off, napalm in the morning, and 2 VC human waves. Great fun, and a VC victory to boot! #spreadthelard

I did, however, get to Fighter World near RAAF Williamtown, home of the RAAF's Lightnings, and Wedgetails amongst others. Highly recommend a visit if you're close by, with lots of exhibits. Macchi trainer pictured.

First post, no painting or gaming as I have just got back from 2 weeks at Shoal Bay, which is north of Newcastle in NSW.
