Some local headlines from Dodge City beginning to set up the next scenario in the WAC campaign game. The only use for AI I've found in either work or hobby so far!

The posse rescue the Boops from their surrounded ranch - after blowing away, stabbing and blowing up way over a dozen raptors to do it. Molly ('The Mollinator') clearly ran away from the new psychopathic competition!

So we are set up for todays online game of WAC. Can the intrepid rescue squad get through the raptors and back again to rescue Lord and Lady Boop? The raptors will work to a (sort of) programmed movement, the players will randomly move and shoot anything and everything like always.

Spanish guerilla lancers from Eagle Miniatures, bought last week at the Hereward show. WIP presently, but nearly good enough for a GdA2 unit. Sadly lost one horse due to weak ankles!

Played I, Napoleon with my friend. Its a wonderful game where you try to navigate N from being a lowly captain to an all conquering Emperor with a dynasty in place. We got to crowning him Emperor until bad domestic news and his brothers crawling out the woodwork led to a terminal unpopularity.

Just given a plum tree a quite short 'bob' haircut - the alpacas just love stripping branches of their leaves! We'll then cut the wood left for kindling.
