A good friend of mine Chris Leach has just released a new rule set, Control to Catastrophe. This is an ancient to medieval rule set using a grid system. The first of 3 rule sets using the same basic system. Available at The Wargame Vault. #Wargaming #wargamingbluesky

Oct 29th 1943 the Battle Of Nevel outside Velikiye Luki my wife's grandfather was killed. My wife's mother is the little girl on the left. He was drafted as a cook as he worked at the Maggi factory in Cologne. He obviously transferred to a line company later.

Game on Thursday Control to Catastrophe Caesar. War of the Roses.
My continent Clifford the Butcher was on the left flank of the Lancastrians. Red and white figures.
My opponent managed to get numerous hits from 2 turns of arrow storm, this would not be good when it came to melee.

The myths about Ian Fleming’s World War II role—whether as the real James Bond or simply a faceless bureaucrat—are inaccurate. In truth, Fleming was closely involved in British intelligence as the personal assistant to Admiral John Godfrey, Director of Naval Intelligence.

This is awesome!
I didn’t start the year with 28mm Big Battle Napoleonics on my 2025 Hobby Bingo card, but when the call to arms came I could not refuse.
Based on the 1st Prussian Infantry Brigade (Division), from March to June - a full 9 infantry battalions with commanders and artillery were finished.
